*200 copies limited edition* UK experimentalist Ivan The Tolerable announces “House of the Hidden Light,” a sprawling new double LP arriving in 2025 on Stolen Body Records. The prolific project of Oli Heffernan, Ivan The Tolerable once again blurs genre and expectation, offering a deep dive into restless creativity and immersive, atmospheric sound.
On “House of the Hidden Light,” Heffernan continues his exploration of cosmic psychedelia, ambient textures, and freeform experimentation. Across its expansive two-record runtime, listeners are guided through shadowy corridors and luminous sonic spaces, each piece a testament to the artist’s inventive spirit and willingness to push musical boundaries.
Mostly self-recorded in Middlesbrough, UK, but often augmented by guest collaborators, the album’s rich palette fuses swirling electronics, hypnotic basslines, avant-garde melodies, and subtle rhythmic shifts. Fans of All Structures Align and King Champion Sounds will recognize Heffernan’s trademark restlessness and lyrical abstraction, while newcomers will be drawn in by the album’s dreamlike arc and cinematic grandeur.
“House of the Hidden Light” is not only a reflection of impatience and curiosity, but also an invitation—a journey through the luminous and the obscure, from inner landscapes to cosmic frontiers.
