The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Sleep Forever. "Shine A Light" comes off the new release, "Alter Ego", the follow up to 2022’s "Boyhood" on DKA. The solo project of Zurich-based Markus Weber (Veil Of Light), "Alter Ego" finds Weber celebrating abundance and embracing his love for 80s and 90s soundscapes while also keeping a strong focus on polished arrangements and thoughtful songwriting that remains deeply personal whether it be in full-bodied anthems or moments of timid vulnerability. From forsaken escapism through frantic invocation, Weber upholds a sincerity in exploring matters close to the heart, manifesting a subtle grasp of the human experience.
Fans of late 80s Depeche Mode, OMD, Eleven Pond, and Parade Ground will appreciate Sleep Forever’s sleek approach to synth-pop. The 12 tracks on "Alter Ego" present a sophisticated new take on synth music that we here at DKA are excited for you to experience for yourself. "Alter Ego" is available as a digital release and a limited-edition cassette pressing of 120 copies.
Out January 31st. Pick it up at: https://sleep4evr.bandcamp.com/album/alter-ego
