Track Of The Day INVISIBLE LOGIC
Invisible Logic is a solo synth project from Ian Van Bass, hailing from Glasgow, a name taken from an 80s art magazine, reflecting Ian’s love for the control that MIDI and Machines can offer.
Unveiling an unmistakable fondness for Post-punk, Minimal Wave, and DIY Cassette Culture, the Scottish musician crafts, through a blend of modern and retro hardware, a late 70s/80s inflected, retro-styled Synth-Pop sound, replete with emotive, glistening icy synths, clattering drum machines, shuddering bass and earnest vocals, all coated in bittersweet, reverb-soaked melancholia.
After last year’s debut with the darting, haunting home demo single, “Data Leak,” infused with glowing, swirling synths that soar to heady dramatic heights, Invisible Logic returns with the new track, “Chrysanthemum”, to foreshadow the upcoming 8-track debut Self-Titled album due on August 1, 2025.
The song displays a sonorous, stuttering bass sequencer with a wriggling, hypnotic pace, incessantly stabbed by a metronomic drum machine, layered with desolate glowing synth trembles, and feebly yet intensely gleaming plaintive chords, whilst whispery, ghostly Sumner-esque vocals of wistful yet curious introspection, unravel a soft narrative of fear, care, pain, and alienation.
