Dream Pop

The Cocteau Twins are recognized as pioneers of the dream pop sound, their sound a collage of soft, almost indecipherable vocals and languid soundscapes. Cult band the Velvet Underground are said to be an influence on early dreampop bands. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Κόρε. Ύδρο.

dream pop ---> Slowdive The Chameleons Pale Saints "Dif Juz"---> 4AD Smooth tunes used Cocteau Twins ideas with delayed guitars and layered loops to help the tunes get that Dream like effect.

at goweinczyk: dream pop started in the early 80s with artists like a.r. kane and cocteau twins and has a swirling, psychedelic sound. shoegaze is a more aggressive and noisier form of dream pop that got big in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s.

Dream pop you look up into the ethereal blur, shoegaze you look down at your shoes through your fringe.
