One of Colorado\u2019s longest-running independent music projects, postpunk-shoegaze outfit A Shoreline Dream<\/strong><\/a> present their dark and deeply introspective single ’20’<\/strong><\/a>, following the lead track\u00a0\u2018Legacy\u2019<\/strong><\/a>. Reflecting upon the road taken while pondering the path ahead, they preview their new\u00a0‘Waiting’ album<\/strong><\/a>, a major milestone that arrives two decades since their debut record \u2018Avoiding the Consequences\u2019<\/strong><\/a>.

Formed in 2005 and based in Barnum, Colorado, A Shoreline Dream is a duo of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ryan Policky\u00a0<\/strong>and guitarist Erik Jeffries<\/strong>. For just over two decades, Policky and Jeffries have built a catalog approaching 120 released tracks while developing a sound rooted in shoegaze, psychedelia, post-punk, and expansive guitar-driven experimentation.

The new\u00a0video for ’20’<\/strong><\/a>, starring Julianna Beckert<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>is a literal hazed-out dream of all the waiting for something or someone to happen. Lost in ups and downs. Emotional states. The visual you were waiting for arrives and it really wasn’t there to begin with. Ryan Policky\u00a0<\/strong>notes, “Julianna is the best I know of conveying emotion and was a perfect fit for the vibe. We made sure, as always, to record the spots we love now but know will be gone forever soon, such as the 8th street bridge, where she traverses along the way through the video.”

With brooding lyrics, ’20’ turns the anniversary into an exploration of time and sound – a literal head-on confrontation with time, uncertainty, sacrifice, and the weight of devoting so much of one’s life to music. Blending multiple genres into one loaded number, A Shoreline Dream add a new shimmery track to the nearly 120 they’ve released to date – each of them cavernous and rooted in waves and soundscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
