The Ten Year Program’s ‘Ambien Wet Dream’ is a dense, melodic take on post-hardcore. These guys describe themselves as, “a two-person collaboration, written, recorded and produced by Ian Richards,” who is responsible for music, arrangement, engineering and mastering, “and Jack McCracken” on vocals. Although the mix on here is a little rough, there’s a lot of cool stuff happening. The vocals are top-notch. They have a punchy, soulful quality reminiscent of Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo or Emarosa’s Jonny Craig. Under that, there’s some neat melodic layering that gives the track a bold, ballsy vibe not common in this vein of alternative rock. This is a rough cut to say the least, but with a little more time and polishing this could be something really amazing. Check out ‘Ambien Wet Dream’ below!
