MIDWINTER RELEASE FIRST SINGLE “COFFIN OF THOUGHTS”

MIDWINTER RELEASE FIRST SINGLE “COFFIN OF THOUGHTS” FEATURING DANIËL DE JONGH OF TEXTURES, WITH SECOND SONG “THE PULSE BENEATH THE MIRE”

The first music from Spectral Studies, the project’s first album since 2007, is out today. The album follows on February 16, 2027

Midwinter, the musical project from Nantes, France, today release “Coffin of Thoughts”, the first single from their forthcoming album Spectral Studies, on all platforms. The song features Daniël de Jongh of Textures. A second album track, “The Pulse Beneath the Mire”, also featuring de Jongh, is included in the release.

The release also marks the return of vocalist Alessia Scolletti following her departure from Temperance.

“Coffin of Thoughts” deals with rage and grief after the suicide of a loved one, and with playing music as catharsis. “The Pulse Beneath the Mire” turns to the natural world: a return to nature and ego death, the self dissolving into soil and rot.
