MURCOF – The Alias Sessions
3LP – Indies Only Concrete Grey Vinyl
(*Limited to 500 copies. Includes download code)
Murcof, the primary project of producer Fernando Corona, returns to The Leaf Label for the first time in thirteen years with a mammoth and visionary double album, The Alias Sessions.
This collection brings together all the elements incorporated into the project to date – meticulous sound design, ghostly samples, forceful beats, diaphanous atmosphere – but pushes the sound even further in terms of both abstraction and beauty. This is electronic music of exquisite tension and ecstatic release, moving from barely audible details to explosive peaks, much of it delivered by earth- moving bass.
The Alias Sessions is the most ambitious and wide-ranging Murcof album to date – less about the individual components of a track and more about the cumulative force of the set as a whole. Corona has composed several film scores and that experience with atmosphere informs these tracks. The record benefits from careful and focused attention, preferably over longer periods – it’s too expressive and dynamic to remain in the background.
