Murcof: Twin Color Vol. 1 (CD)

Murcof's new album Twin Color came to life in 2020, shaped by the early days of pandemic lockdowns. Corona had just turned 50 and found himself in a wistful mood while revisiting his poppier material from the ‘80s. Melancholy and poignance permeate the album, which conjures a sense of ruminative motion.

“I continued working in my studio, as I always do, but even more so because of being locked down,” he remembers. “I was fooling around with some ideas, mostly with my synthesizers, and introduced a few tracks with a bit of a nostalgic vibe to them.” The recording process was aided by his young daughter Alina, whom he captured singing and messing around with modular cables. All of a sudden, Corona found himself sitting on a body of tracks that were more direct than atmospheric.
