Cornelius "Refractions"
Cornelius' new album "Refractions" is coming this August. It contains a total of 10 songs including the three released digitally recently — "Twisting & Glistening", "Aeons (feat. Sean Ono Lennon)" and "Yumenemi" (a cover of Yōsui Inoue) —, as well as "Bad Advice" (feat. Arto Lindsay) (2024). In addition to guests Sean Ono Lennon, Arto Lindsay and Bid, the song "Mazaranai" also has lyrics that were written by Shintarō Sakamoto. Check out the music videos below! It had already been three years since his previous album "Dream In Dream".
The Japanese CD edition is available at the shops linked below. HMV and Tower Records are still offering a free promo sticker at time of writing. Also, the international label Eat Your Own Ears has posted a store link for UK pre-orders of the CD & LP.
A tour of Japan for the new album will be held in September and October. Regular ticket sales start on August 8 at 10:00. Find details here. Meanwhile, a documentary of the tour for the previous album "Dream In Dream" has been published on YouTube in two parts: Part 1 & Part 2.
