Dreams By Degrees
San Francisco's Dreams by Degrees is a kindly place for progressive sounds "where the winds and forget-me-nots blow." The label invites artists of all stripes to participate in conceptual release series each year. Dreams by Degrees inaugural series was based on the seasons, featuring Winter by Coastal, Spring by Colophon, Summer by Loquat, and Fall by Loquat, all limited 10-inch vinyl releases. In 2003, the label unveils a series of CDs by various artists inspired by colors.
Coastal
What's it like to spend a winter in Provo, Utah? If it's anything like the music of Coastal -- who call the town home -- it's quiet, beautiful, and peaceful, like a pleasant dream.

Sappington
San Francisco duo Sappington blends ambient electronic sounds with blissfully spacey pop. It's a surprisingly enticing combination: sinouous, ethereal, exotic, and quietly lovely.
