A Shoreline Dream

A Shoreline Dream has been best described as a "melodipsych / post rock" band combining lush sampled textures, organic instrumentation, and vocals layered like a synth similar in vein to bands such as Ride, Slowdive and Sigur Rós. Originating & recording in Barnum, Colorado they have recently joined forces with German Mastermind Ulrich Schnauss and the infamous Kramer (Low / Joy Zipper) on a track titled "neverChanger". Originally forming in 2005 after the dissolving of Ryan's previous band they jumped into a shoreline dream with full confidence and with all intentions to handle everything themselves. Immediately following they eliminated the common restrictions of a normal label and formed their own (latenight weeknight records). The name came about as the operations truly occurred late at night, where they handled promotion, publicity, manufacturing & recording from Ryan's studio "home".

In the Fall of 2006, a shoreline dream released their debut album "avoiding the consequences" with a full scale attack using Ryan's house as collateral, garnering the band attention on several samplers for Landmark Theatres, Urban Outfitters, The Sundance Film Festival, Paste Magazine among others. Critics from Filter Magazine, Paste Magazine, XLR8R, Skyscraper, and Westword gave the band very high marks.

The band released the EP "Coastal" in July of 2007, which has landed them spots on samplers for Vice Magazine, Paste Magazine, XLR8R, Landmark Theatres and Urban Outfitters. In September of 2007 the band toured with INNAWAY, and they have recently released a track with Ulrich Schnauss and are currently touring Texas and Colorado with him & other good friends Soundpool and Experimental Aircraft.
