‘Organismic Thought’ by Codex Serafini | New Album, ‘Invisible Landscape’
Exclusive video premiere of ‘Organismic Thought’ by Codex Serafini, taken from their latest album ‘Invisible Landscape’.
It’s one of their shorter and most potent numbers, a hard slap in the face from these “Saturnian Space Psych missionaries”. The video is a mixture of surreal surgical imagery and fantastical animation from Tom Brewins. You can see how these elements work together to make a bold statement in their own rights as well as complimenting the music perfectly, like any exhilarating ride, slightly sickening!
‘Invisible Landscape’ follows their 2019 release ‘Serpents of Enceladus’. With their next release they continue to tread paths through the unconscious forged through the process of making ‘Serpents of Enceladus’ as well as the pure joy of going out to play, connecting on a musical and spiritual level. They love creating unusual things, experimenting with art and music and encouraging people to do the same, this has lead them to focus their sound in a more concise way, leading their own dream state in a more lucid manner with the outcome of more guided trip for this second recorded outing ‘Invisible Landscape’.
‘Invisible Landscape’ is a fractalized imagining of a cosmos navigable only by sound. Cavernous by intention, the four recordings presented on this piece are a shrieking cacophony, indecipherable conjurations of ecstatic noise from beyond the solar veil.
The descriptive conventions of rock often centre around heft and heaviness: decidedly earthbound terminology that represents a lexicon unsuited for the band’s orbital trajectory. Even the word “rock” conveys an inapplicable sense of groundedness and solidity – it implies a tether. Instead, the substance of Codex Serafini’s sound is vaporous, astral, replete with sensory surges unbound by gravitational trappings. You can also bang your head to it. It is, after all, permitted.
