I don’t know why I didn’t think of this earlier but here I made a Spotify collaboration list! The only rules are 1) don’t remove somebody else’s song and 2) don’t spam-add songs.
Really didn’t know how to word this. All I know is that I’ve been completely in love with The Shelter of My Love by Astropol. I’m looking for some more alternative, dream-like, cinematic, emotionally intense songs. Songs that make you have flashbacks of things you never experienced. Songs that make you lose yourself before the voice of the artist jolts you awake. Songs that sound like how perpetual fogs and inevitable spirals feel.
I’m not sure what to call this specific genre, either. What the hell is shoegaze, anyway?
Some type of skin by AURORA.
Not totally sure it fits your description, but it’s hella intense and I love it.
Had the strangest sensation while listening to this. Right at 56s I was hit with the taste of watermelon taffy. No clue why
I have a playlist called Kodak Daydreams that be what you’re looking for. It’s mostly dreampop and shoegaze
Lay low. Tiesto
The drums - portamento
Some of the guitar work reminds me of Ratatat.
You might also like Washed Out.
Songs that make you have flashbacks of things you never experienced.
There are all kinds of bands that do that for me. The first two that come to mind are Explosions in the Sky and The Midnight.
Also there’s a recently invented word for that feeling:
Anemoia - n. Nostalgia for a time or a place one has never known.
Washed outside paracosm’s album is a masterpiece
Dream-like and energetic? Try Boris - Melody and their whole Noise album.
This is what you are looking for: Cocteau Twins. https://open.spotify.com/track/37pKTyMwalomKCZjxTc2QZ?si=0x_orrZwSxGuv_mXM2uNCg Enjoy!
I really like this! Thank you! I’m surprised it’s from 1990
Wow Shelther of My Love is so good how does this band have less than 1000 spotify listeners?
I tried to find stuff from my playlists that were similar, I found some that match the sound and some that match the description but none that match both. Here are a few of my suggestions:
Beach House might be close to this? You could try the songs “Myth” or “Silver Soul”
Other suggestions:
Pink Bullets - The Shins
Taro - Alt-J
My Warm Blood - The MicrophonesYour description made me think of The Golden Palominos.
Ten Thousand Years Won’t Save Your Life by the band Hammock is like this, I wouldn’t call it alternative, but wow, it opens up, takes you on a trip, gently sets you down.
Listening to your example, compare the Deftones’ “Knife Party.”
From the description - hypnogogic pop? Tame Impala, especially anything off Currents. An album that begins with “Let It Happen” and ends with “New Person, Same Old Mistakes.”
Kinda progressive rock, especially post-70s. Kingston Wall - “Could It Be So?”
Songs that make you lose yourself before the voice of the artist jolts you awake.
Oh, so more My Morning Jacket. “Touch Me I’m Going To Scream, Pt.1.” “Dondante.” Or arguably Mew’s “Comforting Sounds.”
If you like tame impala, you gotta check out the live rendition of innerspeaker at the wave house. It’s so much better then the studio album.
The video starts at dusk and as the album plays it transitions to night. Just steller shit
How about some Beach House?
Caring is Creepy by The Shins
Not sure if this will be what you’re after, but the first thing that reminded me of is Goodbye by Apparat (although that’s a bit slower than the tune you linked).
