Details Announced for Morphine Album Cocoon
A newly mixed title track from the album Cocoon has been released following the digitization of multitrack tapes by Morphine.
Morphine was formed in Boston in 1989. To describe the style of the band, Mark Sandman coined the term low rock. The album Cocoon was created from multitrack tapes that were recorded with Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade. These recordings took place in the period before the album titled The Night. In 2023, Paul Q. Kolderie and Mark Sandman's partner Sabine Hrechdakian began digitizing these multitrack tapes.
A previously unheard and newly mixed version of the track sharing the same name as the album has been released. Paul Q. Kolderie mixed the recording of the project. In addition to the mixing work done by Kolderie, Colley contributed by adding new saxophone parts to three songs on the release. The tracklist of Cocoon also includes another song that was previously unreleased, which is titled Spaceman Charm.
The visual presentation of the album includes cover artwork that incorporates previously unseen art pieces created by Sandman. The cover also features a photograph that Sandman took while on a train in 1998. The liner notes accompanying the album Cocoon were written by poet and essayist Hanif Abdurraqib.
