Kosmos by Bremer McCoy

It is with immense pleasure that we get to tell you—on the solstice of all days—that Bremer/McCoy has a new album coming out. They’re calling it KOSMOS, which we think is a fitting title for a body of work so airy and ethereal and gossamer-lite.

Morten McCoy took a break from enjoying the incredible but fleeting summer weather of his Nordic climes to tell us about Kosmos, and its unique conceptual architecture:

“We decided to call it Kosmos,” he said, “because for us, it's this feeling of being able to transcend time and space and just be, which is a very important thing for humans. Even though it's quiet music, it's music that you're able to just dream: have your own dreams, your own inner images.”

If that doesn’t transport you to the idyllic Danish countryside, then their music will.

Sending love from Copenhagen, Denmark, Scandinavia, Europe, The Northern Hemisphere, The World, Planet Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way Galaxy, The Kosmos.

What were they up to? Nobody could tell—not even them.

They recorded straight to tape so that they had as little time as possible to think about it. They just laid it down.

“When it works for me,” says pianist Morten McCoy, “it’s pure meditation, pure prayer. Pure gratitude for simply being, without all kinds of jibber-jabber filling my thoughts.”
