Translucent by The Choir
Translucent is The Choir’s ambient instrumental album, a shimmering tapestry of sound that captures the essence of mood and serenity. Across 10 atmospheric tracks, the band weaves effect-laden guitars, evocative saxophone, and electronic rhythms into a late-career triumph—a true legacy project.
We've been working on this album in the background for several years. This is "The Choir" sound that has been the foundation of our sonics and vibe for decades. We really can't be anymore proud of a project than Translucent.
To be translucent is to hold light without surrendering it completely, to obscure just enough to keep mystery alive. It is the in-between state—neither fully seen nor hidden—where vulnerability and self-preservation coexist. Like frosted glass, it invites others to glimpse the outlines of your soul but reserves the finer details for those who dare to linger and understand. In being translucent, there is beauty in partial revelation, a reminder that clarity isn’t always the only truth.

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
