Doc Sleep, real name Melissa Maristuen, will release a new album on Dark Entries.
Cloud Sight Fade is Maristuen’s first album since Birds, her ambient and IDM-leaning debut album.
We’re told to expect seven tracks sitting between “muscular New York house, Berlin twilight techno, and funky West-coast breakbeats.” They draw heavily on her years of queer clubbing. Production began in the Bay Area and was completed in Berlin. Maristuen says that this work became a “love letter to the West Coast’s magnificent natural landscape, the light of the Pacific sunrise.”
In 2019, Maristuen released Crème Fraîche on Dark Entries. For more information on her work, or her label, Jacktone Records, check out her XLR8R podcast here.
