Tan Cologne is the duo comprised of Lauren Green and Marissa Macias, based in Northern New Mexico. According to their bio, The two artists work in tactile and sonic modalities inspired by both earthly and otherworldly landscapes. They often explore the mysteries and oddities of New Mexico, alongside spatial inner-workings of growth and spirit.
They have announced the release of a new album called Earth Visions Of Water Spaces which will be out on September 9th via Labrador Records. “Space in The Palms” is a new excerpt.
They explain: “Space in the Palms” is about a day we spent on a secluded beach in Baja Mexico where wild horses ran free and played in the waves and found relief from the sun under naturally formed palm huts. There was a small stone structure on the path to the beach that plants and elements had eroded and taken over. We eventually found the beach after many palm tree observations and mile marker searches. The beach was found off of a dirt road that descended from an old highway. It was like a treasure. This song is about that space. While recording guitars, we experienced a major lightning storm in New Mexico.”
