Unheard Immunity is a project based in England that recently released a ten-song self-titled album Unheard Immunity. This is a hard album to classify because the songs often jump genres. The artist mentions, “The album tracks sound quite different to each other so I would say there are a few different genres. Some of the tracks contain voice samples from some of my favorite B-movies and/or news items that have caught my attention during the lockdown period.”
The first song “C. Mitchell Esq” sounds almost exactly like the music you might hear in a ’70s buddy cop movie. It’s got a generic quality but I don’t say that in a pejorative way. As the music progresses there are samples from what sounds like older TV shows. “Bella Vista” almost felt like an extension of the first track. The feeling I was getting here was a little more subdued and atmospheric but something about it still had a ’70s flavor to it. There are some transitions I wasn’t exactly expecting. “Where is Home?” is where we get into very different territory. The music sounded like something from The Bladerunner soundtrack. There are arpeggiated synths and more which create a very sci-fi sounding track. “Power Is Total” is a hard one to nail. The music is sort of playful and even silly at times and other times not. There is a sample of Donald Trump speaking throughout the track. ”A Walking Catfish?!?” is darker and very thematic as if you are walking to a computer generated enchanted forest while “Exclusive!” is about as close as you will get to a ta more traditional rock song. “Cosmic Unconsciousness” is a longer jam session that felt like a mix of prog and classic rock in some way. The somewhat hilariously titled “2020 Can Funk Itself” has its moments as well. Trump is back on the somewhat epic “Reach for the Bleach” which basically put vocal samples from the news front and center as atmospheric computer generated music surrounds it. “Red, White and Blues” winds down the night with a more blues oriented track. This album is diverse but the instrumental aspects along with the samples do create a cohesive quality. Take a listen.
