Berlin-based American producer Doc Sleep lines up her debut album in March through Copenhagen’s relentlessly suave Tartelet Records.
Spanning 12 tracks, ‘Birds (in my mind anyway)‘ is a stunning full length that side-steps the club to explore emotive tropes of leftfield and electronica. The album features track collaborations with Tartelet mainstay Glenn Astro and M Marie.
“At the time of recording this album, my life, all my routines and priorities had to change – music was no exception. I decided if I couldn’t be happy making an album free of the dancefloor, I was finally going to be done with music. Instead, I found a musical voice free of tempo and textural restriction. Eventually, I had a sound, and once I had the sound, the album came pretty quickly. It was a very different process writing music for no one…except myself.”
Every inch of the album is a personal touch – the title was pulled from Doc Sleep’s mother’s response to hearing the album, while her friend Kiernan Laveaux offered a beautiful text which appears on the back.
‘Birds (in my mind anyway)’ is scheduled for release 17 March via Tartelet Archives. Order a vinyl copy from Inverted Audio Store.
