Ethereal wave

Ethereal wave is a musical genre closely related to gothic rock and the darkwave movement, pioneered by Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil and early Dead Can Dance. The music is characterized by atmospheric guitar soundscapes and distant vocals that create a surreal and otherworldly effect. Sound effects like echo and delay are also often used. Many ethereal wave artists are heavily influenced by dream pop or shoegaze. Edit this Artist photo: Cranes
