Iconic shoegaze / postpunk outfit [**A Shoreline Dream** ](http://www.ashorelinedream.com/)
present the single[** ‘Loveblind’**](https://youtu.be/k97f0Ulfo6M), the title track
from their forthcoming album, their first dose of new music since the Covid pandemic
began. Just as infectious as the lead track [**‘Alarms Stop Ringing’**,](https://youtu.be/W4IMOurpTbk)
these two sonic gems preview 40 minutes of goth-laced progressive soundscapes.

“The title track is a true representation of the observation and realization that
so many of us are lost in a sea of past visions of love. Waiting for it to return,
forgetting it’s gone in some cases, and searching for it within ourselves. With 
so much self-reflection happening these days, it’s difficult to realize that the
ones we’ve cared for need “love” now more than ever to successfully find their way
out of personal storms,” says **Ryan Policky**.

‘”The production is indeed much darker than many previous A Shoreline Dream tracks,
but also one heavily influenced by some of my biggest influences from the early 
years of goth and gaze-inspired music. An orchestra of deeper tones, with an emphasis
on traditional composition and symphonic execution. Extreme highs, and hidden lows
centered around a pop focused tempo”.

blinding future. Produced by[** Ryan Policky**](http://cargocollective.com/latenightweeknight)
and recorded over 10 months in the Barnum suburb of Denver, Colorado, this album
features immense synth layers, the band’s signature guitar and symphonic vocals.

Over the years, A Shoreline Dream has churned out numerous acclaimed releases, working
with legends such as **Ulrich Schnauss, Mark Kramer **and** The Engineers** (for
whom they created a remix for progressive label gods K-Scope). They also opened 
for **Chapterhouse** for their very final appearance.

While the pandemic has taken its toll on our mental well-being, the perception of
money and power has blown previous years away. Dying to get back to the good times,
moments of pure, unscathed lust, we are eager for new experiences to sweep us off
our feet. ‘Loveblind’ reaches for that same energy, taking cues from previous A 
Shoreline Dream works released over the past 16 years, drawing more from their progressive
goth roots. Layers of moodiness, blissful explosions of rock and chugging tempo 
mix with the pain, love, hope and moments of near death experienced while creating
the album itself.

On August 30, ‘Loveblind’ will be available for download exclusively via [**Bandcamp**](https://ashorelinedream.bandcamp.com/album/loveblind),
where ‘Alarms Stop Ringing’ can also be downloaded and the full ‘Loveblind’ album
is available for pre-order. On September 23, the album will be released everywhere
online, including** [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/69mC9jCWu6aiRAvyjIk5es)**
and **[Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/a-shoreline-dream/157640640)**.
