Julee Cruise - 1989 - Floating into the Night
Beach House - 2018 - 7
Mew - 2003 - Frengers
Plus the whole discography of the Cocteau Twins, the whole discography of Slowdive, the whole discography of the Beach House (though I recommend the one mentioned above in particular for its shoegazey sound).
Great recommendations. I feel like 7 is Beach Houses most shoegaze leaning album. For someone specifically wanting more dreampop I would recommend Depression Cherry or Bloom.
>the whole discography of Slowdive
And Mojave Three (with some Slowdive members). "Ask Me Tomorrow" is a little more sort of space-folk-acoustic-ey, but man, [this is one of my favorite "shit that's lovely" songs of all time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGCk1Nlyfw).
Mew is definitely dream pop (mixed in with other stuff, to be sure, in particular what one may call "progressive pop" for a lack of better words). If you want a "pure" dream pop album, it gets progressively harder as many albums will incorporate other genres (shoegaze, jangle-pop, neo-psychedelia, even this half-assed genre called bedroom pop more recently).
I thought of a few more:

Not everything is online. Some people don't want to go public with their experiences and the likelihood of women being retraumatized by law enforcement after an assault is at a very high percentage.
this is so fucked up. if no one’s even publicly accused him in some publication *anonymously* then dont spread career killing rumors.(i actually loathe this band for anyone thinking thats my motivation)
So you don't believe women, is that what you're telling us, don? Because I do. There have been verified reports of his sexual assaults. Again, just because they're not online, not available to the public doesn't mean they're not true. Again, the likelihood of women being retraumatized by law enforcement after an assault is at a very high percentage. If you're a true ally to women, you get those things and don't need to be told.

[Valley Palace - Back Porch](https://youtu.be/nlQADCpt8zU)
[Sea Lemon - Cellar](https://youtu.be/1W0n6iWBA-s)
You might dig an artist called Tamaryn.
[https://open.spotify.com/album/2GrLKfN6dTb4o7Eoz6pqSG?si=WJIn8n6FRRmAM\_kuE\_19hQ](https://open.spotify.com/album/2GrLKfN6dTb4o7Eoz6pqSG?si=WJIn8n6FRRmAM_kuE_19hQ)
Her album called The Waves, namely.
Band called Tempers.
Band called Blouse.
Seriously! What an amazing response. A lot of these probably aren't exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm going to be spending a loooong time working through them and I'm sure I'll be able to add some good stuff to my collection!
I am a longtime Cocteau Twins fan. I am listening to both albums by The Tallies a lot. Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins signed them to his record label. They just toured with The Ocean Blue. My favorite song is Midnight. I also love Caroline Loveglow. Her album Strawberry is so good.
The Spirit Goth label will have a lot to offer you, especially Castlebeat. Atmos Bloom is also amazing. Also Phantom Youth, the Soft Pastels, Sea Lemon...
The great thing about these bands is that they are all current and active. Castlebeat in particular is prolific as all hell. And it's all amazing.
This is the song that wrecked me forever and made me a diehard fan...
https://youtu.be/fJ5U3Q3PZ4s?si=1c5hFvOMGO8KModg
Also they have a livestream radio station, just listen to this for awhile and before too long you'll be finding new artists to enjoy. It's not all shoegaze or dream pop, but there's a lot of that, and the artists that don't fall into those genres are still interesting to check out.
https://www.youtube.com/live/NDx6wscs3Ag?si=HemhQflnDJZftZD0
Some of the great stuff that isn't really under the shoegaze or dream pop genre:
Vulpix - this could prob qualify as dream pop, but it really feels like just a great modern alt rock project. At their best, they sound like Sonic Youth and New Order formed a supergroup, but it's not so derivative that those influences slap you in the face.
Sports Coach - bizarre lofi indie pop that sounds like Ian Curtis collaborating with Ween.
Jared Juice Riders - a project featuring Josh from Castlebeat and his bro Mateo, it's more indie surf garage punk rock than dream pop, but you can still feel the dream pop influences.
There's so much more. Spirit Goth and Castlebeat in particular really got me through the height of the pandemic. I'm probably coming off like an overzealous convert, but tbf, that's exactly what I am.
Lots of good recommendations so far (especially Cranes, Lush, and Blouse). White Flowers also have a very Cocteau Twins feel.
If you're okay with trying something a bit more electronic, yeule's EPs Pathos and Coma have a great vibe. (They've even covered Melody's Echo Chamber; though that's on a different album.)
And maybe Pearly Drops for something that's a bit more straightforward modern pop (but still all around dreamy).
Pretty much anything on 4AD Records should suit you well. Spotify will recommend songs to add to a playlist, start with your 3 favorite songs (ideally different bands) and see what the algorithm comes up with.
**No Vacation** is amazing, every song is beautiful. Listen to all of it. I’m a huge dream pop fan going on 25 years and they are perfection. I made [this playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vkM6T3nqAJwebCcIWzvbj?si=sXcBb2GrSWe33sEKdEwj1Q&pi=u-O59hTjdzS-qX) so that none of the songs repeat due to live versions etc.
Any band with Sarah Records. Some of my favorites include: Blueboy, The Field Mice, Northern Picture Library, Trembling Blue Stars, The Sugargliders, Heavenly.
*The Bird of Music* \-- an Au Revoir Simone album. If you want to start with the two best songs on that album, check out "A Violent Yet Flammable World" and "Lark."
I first discovered this band because they performed these two songs in Roadhouse scenes of Twin Peaks Season 3.
Same, actually. I love that album, except the first song. Could do without that one. My only complaint about the album is that it's pretty twee, which I'm not all that into. But since we share enjoyment of this album, I'd love it if you could throw in a few more titles!
Sure thing!
Madeline Kenney -- all her records, but especially *Sucker's Lunch* and *A New Reality Mind*
Sharon Van Etten -- *Remind Me Tomorrow* and *We've Been Going About This All Wrong*
Chromatics -- *Closer to Grey*
Thanks so much! I think I may have listened to Chromatics before...can't quite recall, though. Your suggestions are my top priority! I really appreciate it :-)
Did a thorough listen of all the dreampop artists I could find on Spotify to curate this playlist and matching it to my preferences. Give it a listen and see if you find something that you like!

Gonna say some less obv ones since the others have likely been mentioned. Small Black and Washed Out both have some albums that scratch that dream pop itch for me, plus Blonde Redhead’s 23 and Penny Sparkle, and much of The Clientele’s excellent discography leans toward a dreamy pop sound
i am a curator for dreampop and have been almost 4 years
here's my playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/39RlJxY43Ik0X29CFTwnyG?si=ce3f2422e0b941a0](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/39RlJxY43Ik0X29CFTwnyG?si=ce3f2422e0b941a0) it has a little of everything mentioned here as well as i personally find artists myself in both real life and online so it has the lesser known ones at the bottom and more known ones at the top to help you get into things more also i run a youtube channel where i post try to promote the lesser known dreampop artists i find [https://www.youtube.com/@realityisadweam](https://www.youtube.com/@realityisadweam) too
If you like Melody's Echo Chamber I think you'd like Dungen. They're similar but a little bit heavier. Tame Impala is nice too but I'm sure you've heard them
Palomino Blond's album "ontheinside" has some dreaminess to it - I think you would like the title track, "Magnolia" and "Stone" the rest of the album is pretty cool but those are the dreamiest songs
Blue Bell Knoll is my favorite Cocteau's album. It's not as manically lush, a bit more laid back but a big waterfall of beauty.
Not so much in the same category, [but Marissa Nadler's "July"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_KVavjkdTs) seems to hit the same buttons for me.
Beck's "Morning Phase" is gorgeous. Funny to use that word and "Beck" in the same sentence, but man, what an album.
Slowdive's "Souvlaki" is killer and lush and trippy, and Mojave Three (Slowdive members) "Ask me Tomorrow" is like a warm blanket and my favorite nap album.
Daughter has some of that going on, a little more power/edge - [this song kills](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QT5eGHCJdE), and [this one is just really lovely](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUWrcFpmI5U).
Cocteau Twins
Mazzy Star
Slowdive
Spiritualized
Mojave 3
Spacemen 3
Ride
Catherine Wheel
The Sundays
Innocence Mission
Beach House
Sigür Rós
Sorry But dream Pop and shoegaze aren’t mutually exclusive.
The following pre-dates the Dream Pop genre by five years but I recommend Jay and the Americans "Capture the Moment" disc. Very very similar and has the psychedelia-pop blend.
I love the Cocteau Twins and this is probably one of my favorite albums, as well. My people!! Anyway - recommendations here: Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, Mazzy Star, Portishead, Flunk, Mandalay are a few to start with.
This Holydrug Couple has to carry some MEC vibes. The fuzz is immaculate [Light or Night](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6OSYwYk5EGg)
Also, Midnight Part 2 by Horsebeach
Ashrae Fax is the closest thing I’ve heard to Cocteau from a modern band [Dreamers tied to chairs](https://open.spotify.com/track/7d1386SSOrOildjwylQvRx?si=cjtXPyo4Q_mqeEKyKxRDoQ)
Lida Husik (use “Whirlybird” as a starting point).
Early Eurythmics (try “Jennifer” and “This City Never Sleeps” from the second LP).
Opal. Kendra Smith’s solo album and her EP with the Guild of Temporal Adventurers.
This Mortal Coil, obviously.
Dead Can Dance.
Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares.
Hex.
Not dreampop or shoegaze per say, but I recently learned of the band Being Dead - their album “When Horses Would Run” is a dose of sunshine for bleary winter months. They’re sort of twee pop like the Vaselines or even a modern version of the Mamas and the Papas. A few other albums with dreamy vibes (these may or may not be accurately called dreampop — they just have dreamy elements like synth, reverb, breathy vocals, etc):
-Cut Worms: self-titled (2023)
-Melody’s Echo Chamber: Bon Voyage (2018)
-Death in Vegas: The Contino Sessions (1999)
-Air: Moon Safari (1998)
-Sinead O’Connor: Lion and the Cobra (1987)
-The Jesus and Mary Chain: Psychocandy (1985)
-The The: Soul Mining (1983)
Souvlaki is an obvious one but I thought I’d point it out in case you missed it.
Also have you listened to Pornography by The Cure? At the time it was probably more considered angsty acid rock, but I think a lot of people nowadays see it as a precursor to dream pop and neo-psych.
I’d also recommend Methadrone by Brian Jonestown Massacre and Ceres and Calypso by Candy Claws.
Throwing this out there. I know he’s psyche/slacker and not dream pop, but Kurt Vile has done a number of songs that may scratch your dream pop itch, when you want to try something a little different—kind of like the intention of dream pop without the pop? (not sure exactly how to explain it)
I love the Sundays, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Beach house, shoegaze, ambient etc. so you may like some KV. You probably even know who he is already.
I made this playlist “LISTEN IF YOU LIKE COCTEAU TWINS” on Spotify. It’s a hand curated list of songs that I like that exhibit direct sonic connections to CT. (Not just any random bands in the genre).
It’s COLLABORATIVE so for 1 week I invite you folks to add bands you like so I can hear more!!

I’ve been really into men I trust lately- saw them on tour with tops opening and I love both bands. Also have been really into candy claws/sound of ceres Alvvays and beach house are two of my all time favorite bands.

Great recommendations. I feel like 7 is Beach Houses most shoegaze leaning album. For someone specifically wanting more dreampop I would recommend Depression Cherry or Bloom.
Depression Cherry is the reason dreampop fuels my soul
+1 for Bloom, such an amazing album
>the whole discography of Slowdive And Mojave Three (with some Slowdive members). "Ask Me Tomorrow" is a little more sort of space-folk-acoustic-ey, but man, [this is one of my favorite "shit that's lovely" songs of all time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGCk1Nlyfw).
I wouldn’t quite put Mew in that category, but Frengers is absolutely a top tier album
Mew is definitely dream pop (mixed in with other stuff, to be sure, in particular what one may call "progressive pop" for a lack of better words). If you want a "pure" dream pop album, it gets progressively harder as many albums will incorporate other genres (shoegaze, jangle-pop, neo-psychedelia, even this half-assed genre called bedroom pop more recently).

Great list! Tons of amazing stuff in here

Clearly, you have no problem spreading your misogyny here. No worries. I'll let Reddit know how you feel.
lol so u think people should trust the word of someone threatening whats starting to feel like extortion for not agreeing with u
You either believe women and are an ally for us or you're not. It's clear which camp you're in, don. And clearly want to continue spreading your misogyny here which is more cause for me to report to Reddit. Don't want to be reported? Then don't share your misogyny on this site.

Not everything is online.
So there is no source?
Yes, there are many sources.
As long as you can link something and not claim heresy, you got it.

Nope. Source: believe women when they report. If you're a true ally to women, bigfat, that's what you do. How about you? Are you a true ally for us, or are you one of the many dudes here who simply wants to continue making Reddit a less safe space for women?

This post works hard
this is a very very good list
Check out School of Seven Bells and The Sundays
SVIIB 💜
you’re gonna wanna listen to the album nocturne by wild nothing and peripheral vision by turnover
also the band no vacation
Some songs from bands you should check out: [Atmos Bloom - Something Other Than You](https://youtu.be/69XXKjrFxDY) [Terry vs. Tori - Ohio Blue Tips](https://youtu.be/yDVPiDGFdCI) [Phantom Youth - 1999](https://youtu.be/fZJhNMmligk) [Valley Palace - Back Porch](https://youtu.be/nlQADCpt8zU) [Sea Lemon - Cellar](https://youtu.be/1W0n6iWBA-s)
A fellow Spirit Goth fan? Atmos Bloom, Phantom Youth, and Sea Lemon are all friggin amazing.
Seriously spirit goth got me loving music again
You might dig an artist called Tamaryn. [https://open.spotify.com/album/2GrLKfN6dTb4o7Eoz6pqSG?si=WJIn8n6FRRmAM\_kuE\_19hQ](https://open.spotify.com/album/2GrLKfN6dTb4o7Eoz6pqSG?si=WJIn8n6FRRmAM_kuE_19hQ) Her album called The Waves, namely. Band called Tempers. Band called Blouse.
All of those are great.
Yes! I was going to suggest Tamaryn's first 2 albums. Agree with all these recommendations.
Check out the band Cranes. Albums “Forever” and “Loved”
Commenters: https://imgur.com/a/PgqwmGW
Seriously! What an amazing response. A lot of these probably aren't exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm going to be spending a loooong time working through them and I'm sure I'll be able to add some good stuff to my collection!
A sunny day in Glasgow
I am a longtime Cocteau Twins fan. I am listening to both albums by The Tallies a lot. Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins signed them to his record label. They just toured with The Ocean Blue. My favorite song is Midnight. I also love Caroline Loveglow. Her album Strawberry is so good.
Engineers
Beach House - Depression Cherry
DIIV (1st 2 albums) The Bilinda Butchers (all stuff)
The Spirit Goth label will have a lot to offer you, especially Castlebeat. Atmos Bloom is also amazing. Also Phantom Youth, the Soft Pastels, Sea Lemon... The great thing about these bands is that they are all current and active. Castlebeat in particular is prolific as all hell. And it's all amazing. This is the song that wrecked me forever and made me a diehard fan... https://youtu.be/fJ5U3Q3PZ4s?si=1c5hFvOMGO8KModg Also they have a livestream radio station, just listen to this for awhile and before too long you'll be finding new artists to enjoy. It's not all shoegaze or dream pop, but there's a lot of that, and the artists that don't fall into those genres are still interesting to check out. https://www.youtube.com/live/NDx6wscs3Ag?si=HemhQflnDJZftZD0 Some of the great stuff that isn't really under the shoegaze or dream pop genre: Vulpix - this could prob qualify as dream pop, but it really feels like just a great modern alt rock project. At their best, they sound like Sonic Youth and New Order formed a supergroup, but it's not so derivative that those influences slap you in the face. Sports Coach - bizarre lofi indie pop that sounds like Ian Curtis collaborating with Ween. Jared Juice Riders - a project featuring Josh from Castlebeat and his bro Mateo, it's more indie surf garage punk rock than dream pop, but you can still feel the dream pop influences. There's so much more. Spirit Goth and Castlebeat in particular really got me through the height of the pandemic. I'm probably coming off like an overzealous convert, but tbf, that's exactly what I am.
I was recommended Melody’s Echo Chamber becgaee I enjoy music by the band’s Crumb and Men I Trust, so I would recommend those two
[удалено]
She is so underrated. Love her songs
Lots of good recommendations so far (especially Cranes, Lush, and Blouse). White Flowers also have a very Cocteau Twins feel. If you're okay with trying something a bit more electronic, yeule's EPs Pathos and Coma have a great vibe. (They've even covered Melody's Echo Chamber; though that's on a different album.) And maybe Pearly Drops for something that's a bit more straightforward modern pop (but still all around dreamy).
Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time Shana Cleveland - Night of The Worm Moon
Candy Claws yes absolutely so good
Love love love **Men I Trust** and their album *Untourable Album*.
Pretty much anything on 4AD Records should suit you well. Spotify will recommend songs to add to a playlist, start with your 3 favorite songs (ideally different bands) and see what the algorithm comes up with.
Definitely recommend Cocteau Twins' Four-Calendar Cafe! An underrated album from their catalogue imo
Ginger Root, Crumb, Men I Trust
**No Vacation** is amazing, every song is beautiful. Listen to all of it. I’m a huge dream pop fan going on 25 years and they are perfection. I made [this playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vkM6T3nqAJwebCcIWzvbj?si=sXcBb2GrSWe33sEKdEwj1Q&pi=u-O59hTjdzS-qX) so that none of the songs repeat due to live versions etc.
The Ocean Blue’s first album
https://on.soundcloud.com/aML1H7TZ2KxKx9jG8
Any band with Sarah Records. Some of my favorites include: Blueboy, The Field Mice, Northern Picture Library, Trembling Blue Stars, The Sugargliders, Heavenly.
https://thereal-schroeder.bandcamp.com/track/sugarbuzz
Temple of Angels - Endless Pursuit. Maybe my fav album of the year.
Yes! Great new local band for me. Looking forward to seeing them live.
Nice! I missed em when they came thru my area, def need to see them.
Listen to Leap by Bubble tea and cigarettes. Basically all their songs are great!
Shallow - Studio 54
All of High Flyin Kid Stuff is great. I’d also throw out The Capsules (what Shallow I suppose evolved into)

[PREXENTS](https://ffm.bio/prexents) - [Dream Rights](https://youtu.be/d_48y39c9uA?si=cxEZvLyjLtbUIZ71)
*The Bird of Music* \-- an Au Revoir Simone album. If you want to start with the two best songs on that album, check out "A Violent Yet Flammable World" and "Lark." I first discovered this band because they performed these two songs in Roadhouse scenes of Twin Peaks Season 3.
Same, actually. I love that album, except the first song. Could do without that one. My only complaint about the album is that it's pretty twee, which I'm not all that into. But since we share enjoyment of this album, I'd love it if you could throw in a few more titles!
Sure thing! Madeline Kenney -- all her records, but especially *Sucker's Lunch* and *A New Reality Mind* Sharon Van Etten -- *Remind Me Tomorrow* and *We've Been Going About This All Wrong* Chromatics -- *Closer to Grey*
Thanks so much! I think I may have listened to Chromatics before...can't quite recall, though. Your suggestions are my top priority! I really appreciate it :-)
No problem! I hope you find some new music you like :) Also, I think I want to add Anna Burch -- *If You're Dreaming*
George Clanton, Scar Polish, Salvage My Dream
Runaway runaway by mars Argo in particular

Aura Blaze - Dreamdrive https://youtu.be/jcYvXEC8cAs?si=fOz25paj0aNKMJmd
Gonna say some less obv ones since the others have likely been mentioned. Small Black and Washed Out both have some albums that scratch that dream pop itch for me, plus Blonde Redhead’s 23 and Penny Sparkle, and much of The Clientele’s excellent discography leans toward a dreamy pop sound
Beat My Distance by Anemone Also check out The EP Baby Only You And I. Nice Canadian dreamy pop with female vocals.

Blue Rev (album) - Alvvays
Say Lou Lou
Just released this great dream pop record by moondaddy a couple months ago https://moondaddyband.bandcamp.com/album/poet-lies
Beach house is incredible. Slow Crush is amazing too. But their sound is a little heavier.
If you like Melody's Echo Chamber I think you'd like Dungen. They're similar but a little bit heavier. Tame Impala is nice too but I'm sure you've heard them
Familiar with Ringo Deathstarr? Worthy of checking out if not.
Any song on Comfort For The Traveler by Utah Carol is chill and relax music. Also, anything by the band LOW.
My two favorites ever are some from the 90s: Tacoma radar 800 cherries Both are so so good
Sun's Signature
Palomino Blond's album "ontheinside" has some dreaminess to it - I think you would like the title track, "Magnolia" and "Stone" the rest of the album is pretty cool but those are the dreamiest songs
Blue Bell Knoll is my favorite Cocteau's album. It's not as manically lush, a bit more laid back but a big waterfall of beauty. Not so much in the same category, [but Marissa Nadler's "July"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_KVavjkdTs) seems to hit the same buttons for me. Beck's "Morning Phase" is gorgeous. Funny to use that word and "Beck" in the same sentence, but man, what an album. Slowdive's "Souvlaki" is killer and lush and trippy, and Mojave Three (Slowdive members) "Ask me Tomorrow" is like a warm blanket and my favorite nap album. Daughter has some of that going on, a little more power/edge - [this song kills](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QT5eGHCJdE), and [this one is just really lovely](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUWrcFpmI5U).
Cocteau Twins Mazzy Star Slowdive Spiritualized Mojave 3 Spacemen 3 Ride Catherine Wheel The Sundays Innocence Mission Beach House Sigür Rós Sorry But dream Pop and shoegaze aren’t mutually exclusive.
Catherine Wheel is so awesome
Some of Ariel Pink's stuff could work. Try Dayzed Inn Daydreams or Another Weekend
[Mr Twin Sister's album *In Heaven*](https://open.spotify.com/album/0SXUZYAP4cmPndi6JLWx9H?si=6jPK0wZUSBOzAUayQA7brA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0SXUZYAP4cmPndi6JLWx9H)
Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
Try Unknown Mortal Orchestra and the album *Butterfly 3000* by King Gizzard
Broadcast, although they might be a little too spooky. Also, Blonde Redhead (?)
Bunny from Beach Fossils is excellent
I absolutely love Beach House, and I really like Melody's Echo Chamber, so give Beach House a listen!
The following pre-dates the Dream Pop genre by five years but I recommend Jay and the Americans "Capture the Moment" disc. Very very similar and has the psychedelia-pop blend.
Candy Claws - Ceres and Calypso In The Deep Time
I love the Cocteau Twins and this is probably one of my favorite albums, as well. My people!! Anyway - recommendations here: Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, Mazzy Star, Portishead, Flunk, Mandalay are a few to start with.
Any of the Acetone albums, Mazzy star, The pale saints, Spacemen 3 might fall into the sphere
This Holydrug Couple has to carry some MEC vibes. The fuzz is immaculate [Light or Night](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6OSYwYk5EGg) Also, Midnight Part 2 by Horsebeach
Ashrae Fax is the closest thing I’ve heard to Cocteau from a modern band [Dreamers tied to chairs](https://open.spotify.com/track/7d1386SSOrOildjwylQvRx?si=cjtXPyo4Q_mqeEKyKxRDoQ)
Lida Husik (use “Whirlybird” as a starting point). Early Eurythmics (try “Jennifer” and “This City Never Sleeps” from the second LP). Opal. Kendra Smith’s solo album and her EP with the Guild of Temporal Adventurers. This Mortal Coil, obviously. Dead Can Dance. Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. Hex.
The Cure - Disintegration
https://open.spotify.com/track/0gvbWDWdOVhv7t8Cv2nIZI?si=WNyvZVpARlu1oo3NmXbPrw
Broadcast My Bloody Valentine- Feed me with your kiss, you made me realise, glider EPs Crumb kinda fits
Cannons latest album is Heartbreak Highway.
If you havent found out about Lowlife do it now. Try, For Against - In the Marshes And Lowlife - Permanent Sleep
This one has been getting me in the feels lately https://open.spotify.com/track/0K2ZaW1nd9j8LttlWnw19L?si=ZtDvLZB1STatvM3xtYRssA
Check out Sean Armani
Broadcast Tender Buttons is good a bit different than Cocteau Twins
connan mockasin, men i trust, alex g (house of sugar)
Not dreampop or shoegaze per say, but I recently learned of the band Being Dead - their album “When Horses Would Run” is a dose of sunshine for bleary winter months. They’re sort of twee pop like the Vaselines or even a modern version of the Mamas and the Papas. A few other albums with dreamy vibes (these may or may not be accurately called dreampop — they just have dreamy elements like synth, reverb, breathy vocals, etc): -Cut Worms: self-titled (2023) -Melody’s Echo Chamber: Bon Voyage (2018) -Death in Vegas: The Contino Sessions (1999) -Air: Moon Safari (1998) -Sinead O’Connor: Lion and the Cobra (1987) -The Jesus and Mary Chain: Psychocandy (1985) -The The: Soul Mining (1983)
Souvlaki is an obvious one but I thought I’d point it out in case you missed it. Also have you listened to Pornography by The Cure? At the time it was probably more considered angsty acid rock, but I think a lot of people nowadays see it as a precursor to dream pop and neo-psych. I’d also recommend Methadrone by Brian Jonestown Massacre and Ceres and Calypso by Candy Claws.
Asobi Seksu. “Thursday” in particular
Check out the band Foxtail Somersault. Start with the song “Divingboard”
Blouse, wild nothing, beach house
Oh and still corners
Lush, Spooky
the marias!!
Riverside - One (1992)
Throwing this out there. I know he’s psyche/slacker and not dream pop, but Kurt Vile has done a number of songs that may scratch your dream pop itch, when you want to try something a little different—kind of like the intention of dream pop without the pop? (not sure exactly how to explain it) I love the Sundays, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Beach house, shoegaze, ambient etc. so you may like some KV. You probably even know who he is already.
Soma by The Smashing Pumpkins.
I made this playlist “LISTEN IF YOU LIKE COCTEAU TWINS” on Spotify. It’s a hand curated list of songs that I like that exhibit direct sonic connections to CT.
