Cielo [MP3]
Cosmos I [MP3]
Listening to Murcof was always an imaginative labor, and it’s the same with his upcoming third release - Cosmos. To a certain extent Murcof abandoned his orchestral side, and replaced it with an increasing atmospheric vibe. The underlying of his music, and as it seems of his body and soul, is the mild Techno beats running in the background and dictating the path the tracks are taking. The images drawn from his new work are of a cold desolate world, paved with deserted highways and without a single soul in the horizon. Murcof seems to become more bleak, but at the same time proves he is a great artist on his own terms. While it seems that the world is abandoning cold Electronica, Murcof is embarking on a voyage to explore a new part of it and does it in new wonderful ways. Murcof doesn’t leave us feeling neglected as he abandons the violins, which made previous albums into beautiful masterpieces, and replaces them with cold airy vocals. Cosmos is scheduled to release on the Leaf Label on September 17th.
