molto morbidi's second album Maybe Marcel is out today!

An experimental album forged in both tenderness and turmoil, combining art / weird pop and baroque pop, the album moves between the intimate and raw to the playful and inventive, creating a universe that is at once dark and hopeful.

"Molto Morbidi is to turmoil as kintsugi is to pottery. A master of instrumental layering, French art-pop innovator Swan Wisnia turns fragile fragments into a solid gold second album."

Written and recorded between January and June 2025, her brand new offering emerged during a period of profound difficulty, as Wisnia’s mother was hospitalised following a severe stroke. Traveling frequently between Bordeaux and her home in Le Mans, Wisnia found solace in creating music, immersing herself in sound to process her emotions. “The only thing I was really able to do was make music. It would throw me into a universe of sound where I could focus on something I could control,” she says. “Oddly enough, I have really fond memories of that period, despite being psychologically quite fragile.”

“When molto morbidi began, I think I was using music mainly as a means of expression - It was about feeling something intensely and creating something that acted as a kind of doppelgänger artefact of that feeling in the hope of releasing myself from it,” Wisnia continues. “What I experienced last year was very different. I found peace in music by approaching it rather almost like a craft - something slow, patient, contemplative, something you can lose yourself in through sound. I didn’t feel any rush or any need to release myself from anything, because I accepted my sadness as part of a situation I had no control over.”

Piano, Wisnia’s first instrument, forms a central thread throughout the record, sometimes playful, sometimes meditative, while guitars and synths provide moments of unexpected contrast. Vocally, Wisnia embraces intimacy and imperfection: “I wanted to be unapologetic about my voice. It’s produced to feel as close as possible to how it actually sounds - intimate and raw, like folk music.”

With Tapir! producer Yuri Shibuichi (Honeyglaze) stepping in to mix the record, Wisnia set out to preserve that sense of honesty throughout the album.

The album’s title came from a small, peculiar moment: “At the end of November 2025, I had a slightly creepy text exchange with someone whose number I hadn’t saved, so my phone labelled them “Maybe: Marcel”. I found it funny and oddly beautiful, and it stuck with me. When it came time to name the album, it felt perfect: light and amusing on the surface, but tied to something sad and unsettling, like the record.”

In addition to your favourite streaming plattform, it comes as a PURPLE vinyl that is widely distributed by Word and Sound, go ask your local record store.

It's also available on a special limited edition cassette in 6 different colors

With Maybe Marcel, molto morbidi delivers a record that is brave, intimate, and unflinching. A record that embraces the uncertainties of life while finding beauty, humor, and hope within them.

"There's much to be learned from this fascinating artist."
