I’m far from the authority on dream pop, these guys just struck a chord with me. I only checked them because of their influence on Sigur Ros.

It's worth another go Demon. Treasure and this are incredible but I'd say BBK is only a little less good.

Yes, it is a ranking of all the bands in existence (a.k.a. a recap of how I very very slowly got here over about 8 years)

Midian (or Hammer of the Witches), not sure how into BM you are but these two have their quirks and aren’t typical, especially the former.

Thanks to that Beach House review that I read ages ago of Bloom where they quote a tweet from flying lotus saying Beach house sounds exactly like Cocteau Twins. I got this and Treasure and love both of them.

Have you heard Blue Bell Knoll too? Almost as good as those two amazing records!

In that case perhaps I should check Beach House.
