Progressive shoegaze stalwarts A SHORELINE DREAM are back with ‘Everything Turns’, featuring RIDE frontman MARK GARDENER.
This is the first taste of the band’s eighth full-length record ‘Whitelined’ (out July 19 digitally and on limited edition 180g white vinyl). The video was filmed, directed and edited by RYAN POLICKY in Denver and features actress JULIANNA BECKERT.
Gardener explains, “It was great and one of those life-fate meant-to-be chances… I totally connected with was the track that was to become ‘Everything Turns’. Lyrically, it’s a reflection on how technology is taking over and, the more connected we get with it, the more alone we can find ourselves in the real World… It was a joy to ride these sonic waves with Ryan throughout the whole creative process. IN the end Everything Turns!”

Formed in 2005, A Shoreline Dream is now comprised of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ryan Policky and guitarist Erik Jeffries, who are based in Barnum, Colorado. This album sees them team up with Gardener to craft a record where shimmering walls of sound wash over turbulent percussion and swooning vocals to weave an otherworldly sonic reality.
“Lyrically, it’s a reflection on how technology is taking over and, the more connected we get with it, the more alone we can find ourselves in the real world. The backing track was special and the chemistry really happened with this track. It was a joy to ride these sonic waves with Ryan throughout the whole creative process. In the end ‘Everything Turns’!” says Mark
Gardener.
Policky and Jeffries first met Gardener at a Ride show in Denver on Policky’s birthday. Working together throughout 2023 between Ride tour dates, they wrapped up three songs, co-written and co-produced, near the one-year mark.
“Right after seriously one of the best shows in recent memory, we threw around the idea of collaborating. This was such an amazing collab. Mark was super open stylistically and the ideas flowed. I think we created something neither of us were fully expecting. Making art with true pioneers is why I continue down this path,” says Ryan Policky.
“Working with Mark, who impressed me with his songwriting so many eons ago, was like nothing else. It was like a process of possibilities somehow all hitting at once, all for the right reasons, and all in a way I don’t think either of us could have expected. It was on my 2023 birthday that it somehow took shape.”
Mark Kramer (Urge Overkill, Bongwater, Shimmy Records) oversaw the mastering and the record’s preparation for direct-to-vinyl production. ‘Whitelined’ will be the first A Shoreline Drive album released as a vinyl LP, fittingly on 180G white vinyl. The album art is based off a photo taken by Policky at Yellowstone in 2008, and re-worked into an oil on photo on canvas, shortly after experiencing that place.

Over the past two decades, A Shoreline Dream has churned out numerous releases under their own label (Latenight Weeknight Records), working with legends Ulrich Schnauss and Mark Kramer, and landing distribution by iconic UK indie label Rocket Girl Records for music written while visiting Ulrich in Leytonstone. They’ve remixed Engineers’ music for progressive label gods K-Scope and also opened for Chapterhouse for their very final appearance.
As of May 14, ‘Everything Turns’ is available exclusively via Bandcamp. As of May 20, the ‘Whitelined’ album will be available for pre-order as a limited edition on 180g white vinyl. On July 19, the album can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.
