Vanishing Twin - Pensiero Magico - 2021 Concert Film - Part 2
This is a concert film and live album from one of my very favorite bands, psychedelic pop legends Vanishing Twin. It’s excellent as a watch or a listen with the theatrics and the raw musicianship both being top notch. The version of the band documented here consist of the incredible rhythm section of Valentina and Zongamin aka V/Z, one of the most psychedelic songwriters and talented vocalists in the business Cathy Lucas, and the synth experimentalist Phil MFU (who has since departed the group.)
This film, musically and visually, is one of the finest live sessions of the 2020s. The prodigious band is costume clad and filmed in black and white. The direction accents the otherworldly songs and doubles down on the feeling of mystery and possibility contained in the music. The songwriting and the instrumental virtuosity are given equal attention across the set. It’s a performance with a real musical and psychic weight to it that highlights the way cinematic and experimental kinds of music can perfectly soundtrack the inherently strange and epic experience of being a conscious living being.
