Sleepline is the fifteenth studio album by electronic and vaporwave artist Vektroid under the alias New Dreams Ltd., released on February 14, 2016.[1]

Release

[edit]

The album was released on Valentine's day simultaneously with Fuji Grid TV EX and Shader Complete, reissues of her extended play Prism Genesis and her album Shader.[2]

Context

[edit]

The album is part of the vaporwave genre and features samples of Japanese television commercials from the 1980s, particularly those advertising airlines and holiday destinations.[3] The album was produced between February to March of 2013 and it was first envisioned as a sequel to Prism Genesis[4] under the title "Transcontinent".[5] The album can be streamed on her Bandcamp.[6] In 2018, Sleepline was re-released on CD and vinyl.[7]
