Anyone know of any good post-rock or ambient type bands with vocals? Like Sigur Ros and Dredg type vocals, really emotional stuff..?

[Slacker]

Epigram-Anything_That_Comes_To_Mind-2008

Epigram is a fairly new postrock band from Toronto Canada, but you wouldn't
know that from hearing this cd. They mix the layed back style of The Album

many more people will be hearing about them soon.

A Shoreline Dream - Recollections Of Memory (2009)



01. Manhattan Beach
02. Hypermode
03. Seattle
04. Departure
05. The Night Before
06. NeverChanger
07. Mid Decembers
08. The Missing
09. Interlusion
10. Pasadena

A Shoreline Dream have been described as 'Melodipsych Rockers,' and I guess that's as fitting a label as any. The band create slow-burning ambient rock with plenty of atmospheric guitar and vocal effects backed by a solid drum and bass rhythm section which seems to fight against the smooth outer layers of noise. Opener "Manhattan Beach" drowns Policky's hazy vocals into near-obscurity behind a wall of guitar fuzz and staccato drumming that sets the stage for the following nine tracks. The effect is a sort of dense, driving shoegaze rock that is equal parts beauty and brawn.

The slowly shifting arrangements and washed-out melodies have a unique, engaging quality to them that allow the music to work its way under your skin if you give it time.While much of 'Recollections' is cut from a similar pattern, there are some slight (and enjoyable) detours along the way. The instrumental "The Night Before" includes acoustic guitar for a much more organic feel while "The Missing" and "Seattle" contain heavier, direct rock moments that provide some clarity in the fuzz.

The band's production fits the feel of the record and they keep things tight and focused at just under 40 minutes, avoiding any excess or unwanted diversions. Recollections of Memory is a solid record all the way through and another step in the right direciton for A Shoreline Dream. While too abstract for a more mainstream crowd, fans of the ambient/shoegaze genre shouldn't pass this up.
