Vanishing Twin is an eclectic musical collective known for their experimental and psychedelic sound that elegantly weaves together elements of pop, jazz, electronic, and world music. Formed in 2015, the group was initiated by singer-songwriter Cathy Lucas, previously of the band Orlando and My Sad Captains. Lucas drew together a diverse group of musicians from various parts of the world including Italy, France, and Japan, giving the band its distinctive international flair. The name "Vanishing Twin" itself is a reference to the medical phenomenon of a twin that disappears in the womb during early pregnancy - a fitting metaphor for the ethereal and often enigmatic qualities of their music.

Their oeuvre is a testament to the band's adventurous spirit and willingness to push boundaries. Albums like 'The Age of Immunology' (2019) and 'Ookii Gekkou' (2021) showcase the band's capacity to blend genres in imaginative ways, while maintaining a cohesive and enchanting sonic universe. With psychic landscapes painted with surreal lyrics and an array of instruments, their music has the ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms. Singles like "Magician's Success" and "Big Moonlight (Ookii Gekkou)" highlight their talent for creating immersive atmospheres wrapped in a dream-like quality. Not only do they produce original content, but Vanishing Twin also excels in reimagining the works of others through their unique lens, evident in remixes such as "Honesty (I Don't Wanna Know)" and "Mandragora." Their artistic vision continues to expand the horizons of contemporary psychedelia, earning them a dedicated following within the avant-garde music community.
