Inversions is a new imprint, spawned by parent label Power Vacuum.
The overall brief is broadly the same: driving, kinetic music of an exploratory and divergent bent, but employing more of a live/traditional instrumental approach. The first release encompasses electro-kraut, psych-punk, lo-fi pop-folk, prog-fusion and drone doom-metal, still with one eye on some sort of dancefloor, but equally at home on the turntables of bedrooms and after-parties.

A1 Cavern of Anti-Matter - Bring the Hiss (Version)
Requiring the least introduction are Cavern of Anti-Matter, comprising former Stereolab cohorts Tim Gane and Joe Dilworth, plus the appropriately named synth-magus Holger Zapf. Here is a more frenzied version of 'Hi-Hats Bring the Hiss' from their acclaimed 2016 album 'Void Beats / Invocation Trex.' The track mirrors the nexus between Power Vacuum and Inversions, with a predominantly electronic start point mutating into a phased, percussive live groove.
A2 Booze - 5 Minute Break
Booze is the illegitimate offspring of Demian Castellanos (The Oscillation,) and Milo Smee (ex-Chrome Hoof,) conceived during evenings in the studio whilst taking respite from their main projects. An untameable beast, swaggering uncontrollably through musical moods like a sordid being intent on unknowable deeds.
B1 Fupper - I'm Fine Little Man
Fupper is the solo project of Simon Hughes, who has been quietly creating intricate lo-fi with his reel-to-reel, guitar, percussion and sonorous voice for over twenty years. 'I'm Fine Little Man' is a tuneful, 5/4 Beefheart-esque number, loaded with 60s reverb.
B2 Clean & Jerk - Silhouette du Barry
Label custodians Milo Smee and Thomas Franklin (also active on bass duties with Thieves Like Us) offer a sample of their own collective musical venture. Clean & Jerk have operated with sporadic intensity for a few years now, sometimes calling on an auxiliary line-up of Henning Severud (Telephones) and Holger Hartmann. They present here a track of spatial inquisitiveness and tail-end menace.
B3 Apothéose de la Trahison - Escape to the Black Cloud
Enigmatic six-string virtuoso and erstwhile Chrome Hoof collaborator, Holger Hartmann creates a fleeting yet powerful diversion with subsonic frequencies and programmed drums.
