Dream pop (also typeset as dreampop) is a subgenre of alternative rock and neo-psychedelia that emphasizes atmosphere and sonic texture as much as pop melody. Common characteristics include breathy vocals, dense productions, and effects such as reverb, echo, tremolo, and chorus.
- Not Drowning, Waving- Another Pond (Rampart Releases, 1984) Our first entry on this list is an unsuspecting and extremely underrated one, released a few years before the genre was “officially” coined, but no less deserving of inclusion.
- The Wake- Here Comes Everybody (Factory, 1985) Often dismissed as a Joy Division/New Order clone (depending on which record you consider), Scotland’s The Wake layer bright lines over reverb-drenched production, writing a series of perfect pop songs that would inform much of the Captured Tracks roster over 30 years later.
- Felt- Ignite the Seven Cannons (Cherry Red, 1985) In a category all their own, Felt’s flirtation with introspective popstar success never quite projected the band into the stratosphere, but their influence sent shockwaves across the indie scene that can still be felt to date.
- Dif Juz- Extractions (4AD, 1985) One of 4ADs most underrated bands also received the magic touch of Guthrie and Frasier, adding their telltale sense of beauty and wonder to the band’s debut album.
