Sara Almgren hails from Masshysteri, Christina Karlsson from Tiger Forest Cat, Anders Stenberg alongside playing with Lykke Li is also a member of Deportees, Andr\u00e9 Sandstr\u00f6m was in DS-13 and Dennis Lyzx\u00e9n started out in the seminal punk outfit Refused before playing in The (International) Noise Conspiracy with longtime collaborator Almgren.<\/p>\n<p>INVSN has always had a political message, but few other songwriters have the ability to add additional dimensions of existential struggle and soul-searching like Dennis Lyxz\u00e9n. In our time, when many moral and deeply humanistic values are being challenged by right-wing movements all over the world, INVSN is a necessary outcry from a counter-culture that has far from given up. Their music might be rich in anger, but the belief that a change could be carried out is never far away. Recorded by\u00a0Adam &#8220;Atom&#8221; Greenspan (Nick Cave, The Veils)\u00a0at Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg, the album, which buzzes with eclecticism, wherein catchy indie rock with pop sensibilities exists alongside industrial electronics. This is post-punk underpinned by repressed anger and frustration serving as a punch in the face of a mendacious society.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/1d59aca4aeedaab429816159e\/_compresseds\/1b395703-db21-4c56-995c-15cd752effb8.jpg?resize=400%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"INVSN The Beautiful Stories cover\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/>Dennis Lyxz\u00e9n says about &#8216;<em>The Beautiful Stories<\/em>,&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Music is in many ways a young person&#8217;s game.
