Title song from eight-track album, recorded a year before frontman Mark Sandman’s death, streaming now
A new album from Morphine built from archival recordings of previously unreleased songs titled Cocoon will arrive Dec. 4. The instantly recognizable alt-rock group, whose lead instrumentation included baritone sax and two-string fretless bass, disbanded after the 1999 death of vocalist-bassist Mark Sandman. But they recorded Cocoon’s music for the album in 1998 with producers Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade in sessions that preceded those for their final album, 2000’s The Night. Kolderie worked with Sandman’s life partner, Sabine Hrechdakian, to transfer and remix the tapes in 2023. Saxophonist Dana Colley also added new sax parts to three of the album’s songs.
