05.15.21 | with a side of electronic. honestly I just can't stop listening to Slowdive and mbv lately. would love to know what other essentials I should check out |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | A bit lazy here but check this for some of my favs from when I was getting into the genre: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1061036&listid=176696 |
Colton
05.15.21 | needed this, gonna check out Ride |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | That list is a bit out of date since I stopped updating it a few years ago even after checking more of the stuff on there but a lotta good shit therein.
Also not represented there are some favs I was already into at that point like Alcest (if you’re interested in blackgaze) and Swirlies - They Spent... which is more a mix of indie rock and gaze but is top 3 in stuff related to the genre imo. |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | Here’s my gaze Spotify playlist with fav tracks (some dream pop there too): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4JawcoQLa3TuP62uF01moX?si=zTUPAJ2bQGCVY-2XB7bfOg&dl_branch=1 |
Sunnyvale
05.15.21 | The Radio Dept.-Lesser Matters
The Meeting Places-Find Yourself Along The Way
The Daysleepers-Drowned In A Sea Of Sound
Happy listening, two of my favorite genres!

Atari
05.15.21 | Cheers man, I’ll take a closer look later :]
Colton, that Ride album is fantastic.. hope you enjoy it! |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | If you want one specific pick my top rec is def that Swirlies album I just mentioned. Gaze/dream pop is a great genre to do a deep dive on though. |
Cygnatti
05.15.21 | was waiting for you to get here, Atari :]
dream pop is a natural place to go for anyone that digs emo/emo-pop imo. that's why all of them pop punk bands in the early 2010s started making emo/dream pop/shoegaze. |
Cygnatti
05.15.21 | 100% need to listen to Turnover - Peripheral Vision and Title Fight - Floral Green immediately |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | Lol I guess I’m working backwards Cyg because I’ve loved dream pop/gaze for a while and am now getting way more into emo XD |
Cygnatti
05.15.21 | most roads go both ways, Boney! xD |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | This is true |
Atari
05.15.21 | oh yeah I've already heard Peripheral Vision and blackgaze etc. but for some reason missed the innovators of the genre, haha
I'll start with that Swirlies album Boney!
@Sunnyvale, starting with The Radio Dept ;)
|
Colton
05.15.21 | The Radio Dept is the most underrated band ever. But honestly I think Lesser Matters is weaker than the two that came after it |

05.15.21 | “All I Wanna Do” - The Beach Boys (1970)
Probably the first dream pop song. |
theBoneyKing
05.15.21 | Hm I should check more Radio Dept, I only know Lesser Matters and Pulling Our Weight and both are great. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.16.21 | Swirlies - They Spent... [2]
Blonde Redhead - 23
Macaroom - Homephone TE

JohnnyoftheWell
05.16.21 | and Candy Claws
and ignore all budgie recs unless you're hungover |
Colton
05.16.21 | this Ride album is really good so far |
Atari
05.16.21 | Yeah it’s one hell on an album
Cheers everyone for the additional recs! |
theBoneyKing
05.16.21 | Don’t sleep on Going Blank Again either, it’s almost as good as Nowhere! |
Atari
05.18.21 | That Radio Dept. album is too damn good. slapped a 4 on it yesterday but already time for a bump I think.. |
Sunnyvale
05.18.21 | Hell yeah Atari, it's great stuff! I disagree with Colton that their other albums are better, but if you like Lesser Matters it's definitely worthwhile to check further into the band's discography as well. |
Atari
05.18.21 | cheers for the quality rec! yeah I've definitely have to check their other albums out.
man, those lyrics in "Your Father"... |
Sunnyvale
05.18.21 | Yeah, lots of powerful lines on there... The run from 1995 through Your Father is so great, my favorite part of an already strong album. |
Atari
05.20.21 | recently discovered 21 and it's nothing short of stellar |
Atari
05.20.21 | also considering I'm too new to the genre to be picky (haven't really disliked anything yet) I think I'll just assign a bronze, silver, gold tier rating for all these when I get around to it |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.30.21 | Based 23 take, might be worth peeping the ever underrated Penny Sparkle if the dream pop bits are doing the most for you on that (as opposed to gaze bits) |
Atari
05.30.21 | Cheers man, I’ll do some more exploring! I’m too slow with my ratings and updates but maybe I’ll try to keep going since you bumped this :] |
theBoneyKing
05.30.21 | There are lots of gems in these styles Atari, though eventually you’ll find some stuff with very recycled riffs and melodies. |
Sinternet
05.30.21 | if you're after something short gotta recommend pinkshinyultrablast - happy songs for happy zombies |
budgie
05.30.21 | ^greatest ep of all time after maybe mercyful fate |
budgie
05.30.21 | also atari check out bedex's dream pop/shoegaze lists, there are like 200 entries with little blurbs/ratings from him |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.30.21 | bedex's dream pop/shoegaze lists are cool but too full of budgie unmusic spam to attain optimal flight |
