Tracks that make you feel like you're in a movie. Really enjoying the Alvvays one.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Great choice!

Yeah, either in a movie or in a dream.

Both of Alvvays' albums are really good, I recommend them!

My favourite song from my favourite dream pop album:

 

[Sweet Square]

Stumbled upon this KEXP recording recently, the sound is absolutely amazing (in general they have so many great recordings):

[Sweet Square]

Listening to Robert Smith talk about the Cocteau Twins is just really lovely

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

This is a great song. Pretty unknown band AFAIK

Spoiler: Alison's Halo - Wishes

I first heard this a few months ago, really like it

Spoiler: Deafcult - Rubix

Another not so well known band, but I love this song

Spoiler: Breathless - You Can Call It Yours

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

This whole LP is pretty special


The two albums afterwards are super good too, though the most recent one is less shoegaze and more straight-up indie pop, though not a bad thing.

 

[Ralaks]

One of my favorite genres, very magical & melancholic.

Early M83 is worth a listen;

All time favorites - first one being one of the best songs from the past 25 years


Second one is probably the on that got me into dream pop


This playlist is worth checking out too

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Really lliking this album, just listening to it for the first time

 

[sullydnl]

Pretty much everything in this thread so far is

Some Jesus & Mary Chain is probably obligatory:

 

[2 man midfield]

Love me some Slowdive and Beach House. Both of their new records are great, especially BH.

 

[Eckers99]

Pretty obvious choices but these are 3 of my favourites...

Great thread. Loveless is a top five album of all time for me.

No problem, glad you like it!

That song you posted is really nice. I'll have to check their their stuff out.

Shoegaze fans, Fender did some really nice videos with Kevin Shields in his studio. This first one is particularly funny because they ask him how many Jazzmasters he has... "Not millions. 10.... or 12.... or 25..."

It turns out he has an individual jazzmaster for every song they play.


I've been reading all of his interviews lately on The Quietus, there's good info in them too.

I was doing a kinda lofi/shoegazey remix for someone lately...

 

[Roosney]

Wild Nothing has been a long time favourite, such soothing dreamy stuff. Beach Fossils too but they get David Lynch-ish at times.

 

[Roosney]

Great choice!


Yeah, either in a movie or in a dream.

Both of Alvvays' albums are really good, I recommend them!

I get strong Cardigans vibes off of Alvvays, not sure if I can get past it.

Just learned that Wild Nothing released a new album this August. Missed it completely so thanks for this thread Olly.

As someone who only discovered this amazing genre last year, this thread is going to prove a fantastic resource to discover more of it. I've had the 'dreamy and distorted' playlist on my weekly listening for ages now and there is/has been some great stuff on there.

Slowdive have probably been my most listened to band of the last year. Mesmerising music all round. Slomo is one of the greatest album openers I've ever heard and I'll never forget listening to it full volume in the car on a summer night last year after being out photographing lightning (my hobby). The genius of this track and indeed genre is that it can be made to fit any mood you want it to.

 

[Unlikely lad]

Saw her open for The Japanese House on Sunday, and I can already feel an unhealthy obsession brewing.

Yeah Slowdive are pretty much "the" shoegaze band along with MBV. I'm loving these two at the moment

Just listening to Mojave 3 for the first time. I'm really liking this album

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

Just checking this out

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

This is super chill.

My Bloody Valentine’s “Only Shallow” is my alarm song for some times. Sounds weird, but the drum intro wakes you up...and then the following tunes calm your anger at being woken up.

But this is probably my favorite track off that notorious album:

I can't put songs I like as alarms, I end up hating them

Soon is a good song!

I like this album
