IMMUNITY OUT JUNE 4TH ON DOMINO
Still from video for “Open Eye Signal”
“Open Eye Signal” is the first single from Jon Hopkins‘ forthcoming album Immunity out June 4th 2013 (North America)/June 3rd (rest of world) on Domino.
The video for “Open Eye Signal” was directed by Aoife McArdle in California: “The track is really special. I saw it as a singular, hypnotic journey that’s almost endless. You get lost in it. I liked the idea of a city kid taking us on that journey . . . just one day suddenly deciding to escape his life and see more of the world in the only way he understands . . . via skateboard.”

Immunity is a confident, dramatic record, defined by an acute sense of physicality and place and inspired by the arc of an epic night out. It feels like the hypnotic accompaniment to a journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind, using analog synthesis alongside manipulations of physical, real-world sounds to make dance music that feels as natural and unforced as possible.
Jon Hopkins will be supporting Four Tet on May 8th at a sold out Webster Hall show in New York City as part of Red Bull Music Academy New York 2013 in addition to performing at the MUTEK festival on May 31st in Montreal, Canada.
