About Immunity by Jon Hopkins Album
A powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focused music Hopkins has ever made, "Immunity" is about achieving euphoric states through music. Inspired by the arc of an epic night out, the album peaks with "Collider", a huge, apocalyptic, techno monster and dissolves with the quiet, heartbreakingly beautiful closer, "Immunity", a track featuring vocals from King Creosote which could sit comfortably alongside the gems of their Mercury-nominated collaboration, "Diamond Mine". Immunity is a confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality and place. 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.
