Rispah, the second LP from the trio The Invisible, is named after their genial frontman Dave Okmu’s mother, who passed away during its writing. It is, palpably, a collection affected by loss, where vocals float ghostly in the mix, ethereal atmospheres draped over tender arrangements performed with bewitching poise. Rispah possesses a proud confidence carried by compositions never cluttered with unnecessary instrumentation: every element serves these songs, with nothing added just because it can be. But repeat listens reveal salubrious textures, tiny details that bring these slight pieces to brilliant life. Records like this don’t need to be forced upon the listening public. Rispah is brilliant enough for the listening public to find it naturally, in their own time.
