INVSN

INVSN (pronounced "Invasion") is a Swedish post-punk band from Umeå. Originally formed as The Lost Patrol as a solo project for Dennis Lyxzén, already known for the punk bands Refused and The (International) Noise Conspiracy, the project's early music was notably more folkish and softer than his prior music endeavors.
