The Check-In with Colin Newman and Malka Spigel-IMMERSION

Immersion is the electronic duo formed by life and art partners Colin Newman of Wire and Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact.  Their newest record WTF?? is out now via their own label swim ~.  In this episode, Colin and Malka share the story behind their long-time collaboration, why it continues to evolve and how giving each other space played a role on the new record. They tell us how the songs they wrote for a tour became WTF?? and they explain the importance of the direct, positive, and connective message the record expresses. We learn how drummer extraordinaire Matt Schulz joined Immersion for WTF??, Colin and Malka share the story behind the cover and why their radio show (Swimming in Sound) and DIY approach to Immersion makes them feel like a young band.
