Lately, I've been listening to this genre more frequently; even more than my hip-hop, jazz, electronic, and K-pop music. And I kinda just wanted to make a go to thread for this sort of music here. For anyone curious as to what type of music this is (or how one defines the genre), I took a definition and put it on the image above. Of course, sometimes verbal definitions aren't enough to describe something so I do have a few samples available below to listen to that might help provide the general feel.

Cocteau Twins - "Lorelei"


Wanderhouse - "Use Me Up"


Hopefully you like it 'cause I do and am interested in discovering more artists under the genre. And if you're already a fan, feel free to discuss it here and maybe even dispute the choices of samples I put above! - Shoegaze is a pretty similar genre here and some people are kinda particular about the boundaries between this an that.

Wanderhouse - "Use Me Up" really reminds me of Télépopmusik - "Breathe" the way the vocalist sings.


"I'M NOT BEING PESSIMISTIC, I'M BEING REALISTIC." - EVERY PESSIMIST EVER.

Angela McCluskey's voice is definitely more suited for downtempo/chillout type songs so she fits really fits well in vocals for Télépopmusik's songs. Interesting to see you find some similarity between her voice and that of Wanderhouse. In any case, I've got more examples below since there's a limit on media codes:

Beach House - "Norway"


Atlas Sound - "Te Amo"

I don't know if you would consider XX dream pop, but they kind have a pop and electronic feel to them.

I don't know if you would also consider this dream pop, but it is kind of has a trance feel. Lemon Jelly is pretty cool, although the songs have limited lyrics.
