Tokyo's Coolest Sound

A brand new album by Cornelius (international site) is coming at the end of June! Announced a few months ago and preceded by the release of two 7" singles, here comes "Mellow Waves", the long awaited follow-up to "Sensuous" (2006)! Check out the clips below, and this special site.

Also check out special book "Cornelius × Idea: Mellow Waves: Cornelius no ongaku to Design" ("Cornelius' Music and Design") published just a few days before the album. It's a 128-page visual book that focuses on designs from the new album (and some retrospective), and comes with a CD of an exclusive track! Find details below.

Update (June 13, 2017): "Sound & Recording Magazine"'s next issue, out June 24, will have a special feature on Cornelius and "Mellow Waves". The issue will contain a download code for two remixes by Hosono Haruomi and Sakamoto Ryūichi! Find details below. (Note that the download code is only valid until July 25, 2017.)

Update (January 27, 2018): The album is now available for international pre-order in CD and LP formats at this official shop.
