Fernando Corona aka Murcof is a Mexico-born, Spain-based artist who started dabbling in music
in the 1980s. Although Murcof has toyed with everything from ambient to industrial to acid house, Corona’s discography is united by his thoughtfulness that shows his full potential on Twin Color (vol. 1).

Murcof’s new album leans into a crunchy, motorik sound and sits nicely within the context of the his brainy catalog. 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.

Twin Color is also accompanied by a partnership with Brussels-based visual artist Simon Geilfus, who imagined a whole graphic universe to complement the music. The album is InFiné’s first collaboration with the french institute IRCAM, the legendary French institute devoted to pushing the boundaries of music and sound.

Twin Color stands out from the Murcof albums that came before it, but Corona ultimately views it as a return to his roots. It’s a reimagination of his origins, infused with the nuanced touch of a thoroughly seasoned innovator.
