New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-award winning British-Japanese producer Maya Jane Coles is greeting 2015 with the debut album of her dark and dubby, bass-driven alter ego Nocturnal Sunshine.
Maya is plumbing new artistic depths—Nocturnal
Sunshine exemplifying a deep commitment to her own expansive vision. From featuring her own vocals to being clad in artwork Maya created herself, Nocturnal
Sunshine is something more of a cohesive artistic project than simply a record; it seems only too appropriate that the completely self-produced album be released on Maya's own label, I/AM/ME.
Accompanied by a hypnotic video directed by The Fashtons, the driving, shuffling "
Take Me There" will mark the first taste of Nocturnal
Sunshine with a digital release on March 2nd. A limited edition 12" version backed with the otherwise unavailable "
Never Too Late" will be available on Record Store Day.
Vocal duties on the album include Maya herself on the chilling "
It's Alright", whilst rising star Chelou features on the unsettling and addictive "
Believe". Argentina's own Catnapp lends her vocal talents to the darkness of "
The River".
Though eminently dark and—at times—menacing, Nocturnal
Sunshine is a heady journey steeped in dancefloor tradition; it is a fully realized undertaking that portrays another side of an artist who never shies away from progression.
