Casual Catastrophe

The Lonely Mountain Goat

ILA (Invisible Light Agency) is James Vernon (San Jose, California) and Eldita Tarani (Pristina, Kosovo). 
The group started in 2015 when a mutual friend and musician, Millhouse Villanueva introduced the duo who quickly bonded over their love for the band Stereolab.  During Eldita's stay in California, the group formed with Alek Duggan, Dennis Galway of Li Xi, and Tomek Mackowiak. ILA now has a rotating lineup of musicians who collaborate with Vernon and Tarani.  
Tarani sings in both English and Albanian.  Lyrically, ILA is like a lucid dream. Visual textures intertwine with glimpses of personal narrative and stream of conscious-style lyrics enabling the listener to interpret the words to create their own narrative.  ILA have released an EP "Life Beyond Clocks", recorded at famed Hyde St. studios in San Francisco. Tyler Green of Oakland California's Lumerians engineered the sessions at Hyde. The group has reunited after a long hiatus and is currently working on a full length album. 
Invisible Light Agency will be releasing a new full-length LP early 2019. The album features guest vocals from Korea's Donghoon Han of Mohani and explores an arc of sound ranging from  Stereolab-influenced layered melodies, Syd Barrett explorations in pop and a more guitar driven sound overall. Expect the new release in February of 2019 to be available on all streaming formats.
