Track four of Cocoon, a posthumous Morphine album built from recordings Mark Sandman made in the last years before his death in 1999. Paul Q. Kolderie and Sabine Hrechdakian went back through the tapes, Kolderie mixed the record and Dana Colley added new saxophone to three songs. The lyric video animates Sandman’s own watercolors. Cocoon is out on Partisan Records on December 4, 2026.
