"'Rispah' is the sophomore record from The Invisible. When not working on The Invisible, the band are involved in everything from co-writing and producing Jessie Ware's album, playing as a member of British post-jazz legends Polar Bear or drumming on much of Adele's second album '21'. They have also played live and recorded with
the Britten Symphonia, Jack De Johnette, Matthew Herbert, Hot Chip, Zongamin, Gramme and many others. 'Rispah' is, in the words of singer-guitarist Dave Okumu, "a love letter to grief." Midway through recording a follow-up to 2009's Mercury-nominated debut album, Okumu's mother passed away and the band's plans a were thrown into turmoil. As Okumu remembers it, "One evening, during the wake, my grandmother Zilpa arrived at our home accompanied by a group of women singing traditional spirituals... It was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. They were celebrating life and death, grief and hope, all things. It served as the most potent reminder of everything I believe about music. It's there for everybody, it's inclusive and transformative. I'm so glad these voices are stitched through our record.
