Visible Cloaks Announce Paradessence, Share New Single + Video for "Disque"

Paradessence is the third full length from acclaimed electronic duo Visible Cloaks, a work of emergence and illusion.

Conjuring an abstract representation of our dream reality through shifting forms, Paradessence builds imagined spaces that are emotionally nuanced and rise to moments of grace. Over fourteen songs that persistently shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space is shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of natural world.

Since transforming into Visible Cloaks in 2014, Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile have mapped a complex matrix of oppositional concepts: organic and artificial, chance and deliberate, authentic and replicated. Paradessence directly reflects these oppositional concepts: its arrangements are grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before, and as adventurous as anything the duo have produced so far.

“Disque,” the album’s first single featuring Motion Graphics, is a series of increasingly beautiful exhalations. The track emerges alongside a video made with photogrammetrist Grade Eterna, navigating and contorting a “point cloud” of an unnamed London greenhouse.

This week, Visible Cloaks will perform two shows in Portland and Seattle as part of the Age of Reflections event series. With a mind-altering lightshow of projection-mapped graphics, these nights are not to be missed.

Visible Cloaks’ Paradessence will be released on May 22, 2026 on in vinyl, CD, and digital editions, with a Japanese CD version from Plancha.
