Deserta

Ambient Shoegaze Project

Deserta is the solo project of Matthew Doty, who is known for his work in the post-rock band Saxon Shore. Deserta was born out of Doty's desire to explore a different sound, focusing on shoegaze and dream pop elements. The project's debut album, "Black Aura My Sun," was released in January 2020. The album received positive reviews for its lush soundscapes, textured layers of guitar, and ethereal vocals. Doty's work with Deserta showcases his ability to craft immersive sonic environments that blend melancholy with a sense of expansive beauty. While there is less information readily available about the albums "Every Moment, Everything You Need" and "Every Moment, Everything You Need," it is clear that Deserta represents an important creative outlet for Doty and contributes to the contemporary shoegaze and dream pop genres.
