Four Lamentations for Dancefloors

After completing the monumental, 7-part "Immutable Past" retrospective series released on Moon Atlas over the past couple of years, "Four Lamentations for Dancefloors" represents the first new music written by Brandon in over a decade.

He swore to himself that he was done writing dance music, so of course the first new release is an EP of hypnotic and melodic sort-of-techno songs that explore the overlap between nostalgia and regret when looking back on his time in the Chicago scene. The style of the EP is hard to pin down, with each track taking in different sets of influences over some 25 years of listening to electronic music. The songs are stripped back but synth-led, repetitive but always in motion. They are for the moments on the dancefloor where the music merges with you and pushes you inwards, and you forget everything else around you.

 Immutable Past Vol. 7: Hindsight

In which a much-belated closure is achieved through communion with the past.

About the Immutable Past series:
Brandon Invergo has written a lot of music across various electronic styles, with no real previous effort to release the vast majority of it. The Immutable Past series consolidates much of this across multiple volumes. No longer having the means to edit any of the original recordings, Brandon is presenting these works as frozen in time, imperfect but immutable artifacts of a past life. Any semblance of chronology is rejected in favor of finding common threads and obsessive fixations. Original song titles have been retained, no matter how irrelevant, however everything has been stripped of any artistic pseudonyms and finally presented together under his own name, regardless of genre.

This is music for leaving earth, for setting off into the unknown with the fear of never arriving and the hope of never returning. Will you reach escape velocity or will you get pulled back down, held in place, your one chance lost to gravity?
