BIO
Multi-instrumentalist and producer M. Cross Dougherty
stepped into the vibrant music scene of North Carolina and
was quickly signed by Lost Cat Records. With the label, he
released two full-length albums, “Shadowsin the Light” and “In
Dreams,” the latterserving as a thematic foray into Neil
Gaiman’s world of The Sandman. Following these releases, M.
Cross Dougherty developed music under the moniker, Lake Isle,
hearkening to shoegaze and dream pop pioneers The
Chameleons and Slowdive. Lake Isle evolved into a five-piece
dream-pop outfit known for itsrobust celestialsound. The
band took a hiatusfollowing the EP “Wake Up” and LP “Winter
Lights” and a lengthy touring schedule. In the yearsto follow,
M. Cross Dougherty uncovered a passion for FM synthesis,
looping techniques,sampling, and analog production; and soon
developed an arsenal of ambient and drone tracks akin to the
stylings of The Boards of Canada, r beny, Jogging House, Windy
& Carl, and Chihei Hatakeyama. M. Cross Dougherty’s music is
the kind you would expect to hear in your dreams; it’sserene
and hopeful, calmingly anthemic, and engagingly present.
