Curve 1 is the fourth studio album by British producer Mura Masa . It was released on 23 August 2024 by his independent imprint Pond Recordings. The album features a return by Crossan to club-oriented music.
Following Demon Time (2022), Crossan released Curve 1 independently on Pond Recordings, emphasizing a return to dancefloor-driven material. [1] [2] [3] Crossan said of the record: "I wanted to make something no frills, no cynical music industry narrative, no manipulative backstory. Just music that I think is really great and that people can gather around." [4]
The digital album arrived on 23 August 2024, with physical editions following later that autumn. [5] [6]
Curve 1 received generally favourable reviews. The Guardian awarded it four stars, describing it as one of Crossan's most rhythmically inventive releases and noting its balance of dancefloor intensity with bittersweet undertones. [7] DIY Magazine similarly praised its club focus and cohesion. [8]
All tracks are written and produced by Mura Masa; featured vocalists noted. [1] [5]
