Built around Colin Newman from acclaimed UK post-punk band Wire and his partner in life and sound Malka Spigel from Minimal Compact with various guests, they define collaboration. Colin met Malka when he produced her band in 1985.The collaboration started there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey became a couple and created their own projects like the instrumental electronic duo Immersion in 1994 and Githead in 2004 - spaces where they both ‘feel really comfortable.’ Growing out of Immersion, Nanocluster was birthed as a series of one-off gigs at the Rosehill in their new hometown of Brighton in 2017 with an added cast of influential and cutting edge musicians. These were not ad hoc jams. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs had been written and rehearsed prior to each performance. This adventure led to a debut album, Nanocluster Vol 1, released in 2021 with Stereolab singer\/guitarist Laetitia Sadier, German post-rock duo Tarwater, electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss and experimental artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased again as double 10 inch with each collaboration taking up each disc, the new album Nanocluster Vol 2 has further developed this idea with a stark beauty that sounds like a future pop with sleek lines and unexpected great melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisc one is built around Thor Harris, the charismatic percussion player from Swans and many other projects, who they met and performed with at South By South West in Austin, Texas in 2023. Thor adds ideas, his tuned percussion instruments, clarinet and trumpet to the sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisc two is built around Cubzoa (Jack Wolter from the band Penelope Isles) who brings his musical craft, beguiling voice, guitar and much more. Meanwhile Matt Schulz from Holy Fuck plays drums across both combinations helping the resulting music become a third entity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat results is a true collaboration that, enhanced via Immersion’s production, merges its elements to develop a new harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey to the process is Colin and Malka’s radio show for Slack City radio, ‘Swimming In Sound’ with its entertainingly diverse playlist that has widened their horizons. It’s also helped build relationships not only with these collaborators but also musicians like ambient country masters SUSS, with whom they plan an extended Nanocluster tour in the USA with in 2025 and Brighton via Falmouth’s “jangly pop punk” Holiday Ghosts with whom they will perform the next Nanocluster event in their home town, as well as many more in the pipeline.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swim","offers":[{"title":"Black 10\"x2","offer_id":50430202544459,"sku":"2198692","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50430203101515,"sku":"2198693","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/119769df-97a1-4678-f1a8-73e1c5062aac_1b661994_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726845580"},{"product_id":"unfold-in-the-sky","title":"Unfold in the Sky","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCubzoa is the new solo project from the multi-talented Jack Wolter of Penelope Isles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn-between touring the world as guitarist for CMAT, Jack has spent the past two years writing and recording his debut solo album via Bella Union.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJack Wolter is an English musician and producer based in Brighton, UK, who makes music and visuals under the moniker Cubzoa.
