I mean this list is incredible and I need to listen to the whole thing at my leisure but I just came here to decry the lack of Purity Ring that is all, yes I am a critic, I’m sorry
The thing about dreampop is that I love it so much but I've only listened to probably half the bands. It would be aesthetically dishonest of me to just do a google search of "best dreampop tracks" and copy / paste it here, so there will be holes in my understanding of the style. But now I have a new band to listen to so that's a plus!
This is an amazing list. I'd personally add "I'm God" by Clams Casino for a more hip-hop angle, and most songs by Beach House, my favs being "10 Mile Stereo" or "Lemon Glow"
Beach House is a good recommendation. There's really a whole lot of music that I could have put on there but didn't.
That's what's interesting about dreampop; it has no recognized locus, and its sounds can be appropriated by all manner of musicians. It's very flexible. I'll have to give Clams Casino a listen.
Sure will! I'm most familiar with Radiogaze and More.

I am also assuming they are dreampop based on my very dim understanding of what that is so...good luck haha
Fantastic list! I'm really happy to see Pinkshinyultrablast & Blankenberge get a mention here!
OMG. I put on the music and I was right back there on the floor of my friends bedroom on the furry rug holding an orange... smelling it and wigging.
