Get ready to drift into a universe of sound—Taos-based duo Tan Cologne return with their third LP, ‘Unknown Beyond,’ arriving June 20 via Labrador Records. After grounding us in desert dreams and watery realms, Lauren Green and Marissa Macias now look skyward, chasing signals from the infinite and embracing “timeless uncertainty.”

First single + video: Cloud of Mirrors

Step into a haze of pulsing drum machines, weightless guitars and vocals that feel like they’re floating through space. Premiered by FLOOD Magazine, Cloud of Mirrors marks Tan Cologne’s boldest shift yet—melding woozy electronics with their signature dream‑pop drift.

“Cloud of Mirrors brings to mind an infinite expanse of fog and indistinguishable landscape in all directions.”
— FLOOD Magazine

Lyrically, the track explores life’s surprises—chemtrails, cosmic reflection and the ties that bind us all—inviting you to consider how we mirror the sky, natural or manmade.

From Here to the Unknown

  • Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico (2020): Mapping local cultures against cosmic backdrops
  • Earth Visions of Water Spaces (2022): Channeling the power and poetry of water
  • Pescetrullo (soundscapes) (2023): Field recordings from a remote installation in Puglia

On ‘Unknown Beyond,’ recorded alone in their Taos home, Lauren and Marissa navigated personal loss and transformation. Shooting stars, satellite dishes and visions of fire on a hill became lyrical waypoints—each a guide through foggy borderlands toward acceptance.
