Morgan Visconti Resurfaces a Lost Chapter of His Youth with 'Twilight City'

Morgan Visconti, son of singer-songwriter Mary Hopkin and legendary producer Tony Visconti, is taking a step back in time with Twilight City, a 19-track album he wrote in 1991 but is only now unveiling on February 28th, 2025. The project captures a crucial moment in his early life, a 19-year-old artist in a dimly lit New York apartment, surrounded by borrowed gear, a four-track cassette recorder, and an analog sequencer.

“Twilight City,” the lead single, sets the tone with industrial drum loops and live synth overdubs on Visconti’s beloved Juno-106. The result is both eerie and entrancing, channeling everything from early Eurythmics to Tangerine Dream, complete with a Prince-inspired kick drum and the raw energy of borrowed studio tools.

Though these recordings sat untouched for decades, Twilight City connects with a cinematic, analog warmth that could slide into modern film scores, game soundtracks, or synth playlists. Fans of Kraftwerk, Vangelis, and William Orbit will find a lot to love in the album.

Visconti’s own path has included stints in electronic pop (Ride, 2014), ambient (Sleep, Transmission, Arrival, 2024), and collaborations with Ready, Steady, Die! and The Ancients. But Twilight City is personal—an artist returning to the source, discovering how the music of his past aligns with the present.
