Protocol Recordings kicks off 2022 with its first release of the year from newcomer Roc Dubloc and singer/songwriter Gid Sedgwick's single "Ready Or Not." The track serves as the debut on Nicky Romero's label for both Israeli artist Dubloc as well as the UK-based Sedgwick, and the two create a unique sonic experience with a combination of driving electro/progressive and retrowave influences. With an opening of haunting vocal riffs and a bassline that builds steadily into a drop that feels both dark and danceable, Sedgwick's voice lends a soulful element that takes the track to the next level, making this a strong start for Nicky Romero's imprint, whether you are "Ready Or Not" for it.

(New York, NY) Awake Sleeper, the first full-length album by indie-folk artist Amy Jay was profoundly influenced by life in New York City. The new single, “Lucid Dreaming,” released today, was inspired by Jay’s time on the subway, observing those around her. LISTEN HERE.

“I somehow ended up in the front subway car on the A express train zooming down Manhattan on my way to work, and was mesmerized by the prisms that were forming out of the double-paned window of the train door,” she says. “As I was in some sort of hypnotic, half asleep, morning commute state, I also picked up the smells of sunscreen and cigarettes, which was probably someone on their way to the beach. But it brought me straight back to a specific, vivid just-like-yesterday memory of a childhood pool party in Miami Lakes where I grew up. Contrasting that past memory with the current state of my mind asking, ‘Am I really an adult?’ and, ‘What is truth, does it even exist?’ is what brought me to write this song. It was a strange train ride.”
Exploring the boundaries between acoustic and synthetic, minimalist and ornate, Jay’s music echoes a breathtaking cross-pollination of introspective songcraft, surprising textures, and hypnotic soundscapes. Working with longtime friend and producer Jonathan Seale of Mason Jar Music, known for his work with Feist, Fleet Foxes, Aoife O’Donovan, and more, as well as his own solo efforts released under the moniker Son of Cloud, Jay gave life to her songs with an idiosyncratic sound equally informed by experimental electronica, classical music, and post-rock as it is by traditional acoustic folk songcraft.
Awake Sleeper is Jay’s first full-length release and follows two successful EPs, 2016’s Supposed to Be and 2018’s So It Is. Recorded in the fall and winter of 2019, in its own way, the album pre-imagines the city’s strange magic during the pandemic, its perpetual buzz lurking just below a sense of haunting solitude.
Having made Awake Sleeper in what now feels like a distant past, Amy Jay is looking firmly towards the future, driven to continually push her songcraft towards new terrain while still honoring her remarkable debut album with the attention and self-love it so rightly deserves.
“It’s complicated,” Jay says, “because obviously, I’m proud of this huge, monumental thing that I’m doing. I have to just remember it’s a time capsule, a glimpse into a life before the world crashed, snapshots of memories. We captured what was happening at the time, written in the past, relevant for today.”
Awake Sleeper will be released on February 11, 2022, and a video for “Lucid Dreaming,” is coming soon.

Artist said about this song:
"This is the first song I wrote for the EP, long before I thought about releasing my songs at all.
It’s about the heavy air between two people when there are so many things to be said but you don’t. About being the one who has to make things move.
I wrote the first draft of this song sitting on the floor in the basement of my family’s house in Horten during my last year of high school. I think it was October, and I had started practicing yoga a few months earlier. My yoga teacher would adjust the classes according to the moon cycles, and I was so fascinated by that and the moon in general. I was reading about the different meanings of the moon as a symbol, and found it so interesting how pretty much all cultures have their own interpretation of what the moon symbolizes.
In the song, I think of the moon as what makes the tides move. But also the moon as this intuitive and feminine force. And water as emotions and the unknown. Since the moon is such an open symbol it could mean pretty much anything, and I love how the lyrics might mean something completely different to someone else.
I recorded everything myself and then sent it over to Amelia Thornton, a violinist from Montana (she also plays violin and viola on Woodlands), who played some beautiful violin parts as well mandolin over it." - Louise Weseth
