Beach House - Norway

Album: Teen Dream

Year: 2009

Genre: Indie/Shoegaze/Dream Pop

One of the most strange music videos ever, hahaha, but it really fits, and it is fan-made! Woo! The official one is sub-par in my opinion, and does not do this song justice.

One of my favorite bands ever. I remember that as soon almost as soon as I heard them I went and picked up their album from Best Buy, which by the way wasn’t even on the floor. Yupp, had to go grab it from the back. I was upset when I could not find it, haha. Anyway, this is some really good material right here. I would go as far to say that they are one of the best bands in this genre of all time. The singer has such a profoundly unique voice that, well, you need to hear for yourself. The instrumentals are really, really, really simple, but really, really, really good, haha. I don’t mean like mainstream music simple, but you’ll know what I mean when you listen! If you have not heard of them before, then you need to click play right now. They are perfect for pondering, haha.

Blouse - Into Black

Album: S/T

Year:2011

Genre: Dream Pop/Shoegaze/Alternative

I have not heard a really good dream pop artist in a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Blouse this morning. They have all your normal dream poppy stuff going on, you know like super reverb on the instruments and vocals, but they just have a really, really nice sound that keeps you interested. See, my problem with dream pop is that most are so damn boring it isn’t even funny, but Blouse really hits the spot! Check this track out, won’t regret it!

If you like Dream Pop then check this out for sure, but this can also be for fans of bands like The Cure.

The Naked And Famous - Punching In A Dream

Album: “Passive Me, Aggressive You”

Year: 2010

Genre: Experimental/Indie/Electronic

All things considered, this is MGMT with a female lead, haha. Don’t let that deter you though! The chorus in this song is so catchy it isn’t even funny.
