Although its meager popularity came and went long before I was aware of it, shoegaze / dream pop music is a fantastic listen. I don’t know who any* of the bands are/were, or what songs were ‘the best’ so it’s all just one big lovely cloud of perfume.

*I’m well aware of My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus & Mary Chain, but I’m talking about any other bands.

Seriously, just search YouTube for “dream pop” or “shoegaze” and pick a video at random. As genres, almost any track will make you think of walking through some sort of field full of little yellow flowers and holding hands with someone a little too young or too sweet, but that’s fine because it’s all some weird opium dream and you’ll wake up eventually.

Here’s one, two, three I’ve just picked randomly for you.
