A trickle of audio fragments exchanged between two locked down bedrooms becomes a flood of sound, emotion and connection.

Opsin - the new collaborative alias of longtime friends and producers Kincaid and Keydell - announce their debut album, Through The Wall. An intimate and unfiltered, sonic document of creative survival in the face of isolation.

Forged in a thumping smoky enclave in the midst of claustrophobic stillness, this album grows from a simple concept: connection. The pair sent short loops, found sounds, and modular synth sketches back and forth, warping and twisting them as they went to create something unique. Over time these fragments evolved into sprawling, textured works - living organisms of sound shaped by the duo's contrasting processes: Keydell's meticulous Ableton-based resampling of found audio and modular synth racks, and Kincaid's Reaktor-driven synthesis in Logic. Drawing on a wide spectrum of electronic influences the album infuses elements of rave, techno, industrial and ambient sounds, whilst never quite landing in any specific genre.

The result is an album that resists polish in favour of preserving the raw, spontaneous energy of its creation. It's a celebration of unplanned synergy - an "audio ecosystem" where ideas mutate, merge, and feed each other.

The project was as much about the environment in which it was made as the music itself. The house the pair shared with friends - complete with towels stuffed under doors to keep the haze machine in - became its own surreal world, filled with late night mixing sessions, unpredictable inspiration, and a close-knit circle of encouragement. That intensity and intimacy are embedded in the record's DNA - a time capsule they describe as "a self-indulgent homage to something we'd never be able to articulate in words."

The album's artwork, designed by long-time friend Jacob Wise, mirrors the music's dualities - inside/outside, warmth/isolation, the familiar rendered strange. Using a mix of photography from Aaryan Sinha and Spyros Chalikias, the gatefold design becomes a single panoramic work, merging landscapes, interiors, day, night, hope, and unease into a singular vision.

Four years on from its creation, Opsin's debut finally steps out of the private folders and hidden playlists into the light. It's a document of a specific, fleeting moment - one that can never be recreated - but also a statement of intent: an invitation to keep exploring where the experiment can go next.

London label Hypnic Jerks' second release is all set to wrap you in all its lights and shadows this Autumn. Pressed on high quality 180g double vinyl at 45RPM to ensure a transcendental, sonic experience on turntables at home and on the dancefloor.
