‘Birth Of A New Day’ was the second album of collaborative duo of HKE and Telepath, working under the name 2814. A follow up to a relatively minor hit at the time – the self-titled debut ‘2814’, ‘Birth Of A New Day’ ended up becoming a radiant realisation of the original project’s intention, as both artists expertly mixed and matched ambient palettes and styles to create the vague and distant neon utopia – a sense of romantic melancholy and longing peppered by the suggestive sounds of the world the music inhabited.
An album that shaped an era, ‘Birth Of A New Day’ was quite literal in a prescient manner as it shook the foundations of the underground and catalysed the ‘dreampunk’ movement coming out of the post-vaporwave era – helping define the aesthetic of Dream Catalogue as a record label in the process.
