For their next full-length, Various Production indulge in the type of Scottish miserablism not seen since the early days of Arab Strap. As evidenced on this upfront promo, Scottish poet Gerry Mitchell’s intense, suffocating readings could be well served by Various’ incessant need to hop genres with each release. Let us hope that the album, ‘The Invisible Lodger’ fuses more than just their regular dramatic dubstep productions, and additionally opts for the rural English folk songs and peculiar sea shanties that pepper their back catalogue.

‘The Invisible Lodger’ is available from Fire Records on 23rd February. The Various release slate also includes forthcoming rmxs from Actress & Rustie, and a new EP release, ‘Ramp’ in March.
