What is DREAM POP MUSIC? & The Essentials to the Sound | Documentary

" Basically What I'm Saying Is Listen To Lots Of Slowdive " An absolutely perfect summation.

That's a pretty good answer to most questions and good solution to many problems.

[@norlanderduwallis9074]

Yeah I kinda do that all day anyway, so we're all set.

[@pedalpartners]

@@norlanderduwallis9074 good choice Ryland, good choice

[@patrickel94]

Oshin, Loveless, Souvlaki were all game-changing albums for me! Not strictly in the Dream Pop realm, but Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils are brilliant bands that have aesthetics that are close to the dream zone...

[@pedalpartners]

love all those albums of course! beach fossils & wild nothing are great - had the pleasure of seeing them live, both really awesome bands!

[@notcataclysmic]

Besides the music, my favorite part is Jack and Dustin are really good friends

[@treesurgeon2441]

Sunflower Bean is a good band in that same vein.

[@ravesonics]

Very interesting. I always thought that there is a shoegaze triangle, that consists of mbv, ride and slowdive, where mbv represents classic shoegaze, ride is shoegaze mixed with alternative rock and slowdive, of course, represents dream pop

[@boywonders]

The holy trinity!

[@pedalpartners]

defo check out my shoegaze doc as that is something i touched on there! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6fEnKV9hd16l5o thanks for watching as always :)

[@orbitron20]

Excellent video once again! These documentaries are really amazing, the visuals really match the subject matter. So excited about the fact Lynch was mentioned, he truly is one of my greatest inspirations. I wonder what you could say about the current wave of psychedelic music such as tame impala, babe rainbow or king gizz. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you have in store next!

[@pedalpartners]

thanks my man! planning a lot of documentaries for the future, really fun to do!

[@sloppy_hand]

I saw a meme with the two girls from "the breakfast club" movie, sitting side by side, where under the gothic/outsider girl was written "shoegaze", and under the preppy/popular girl was written "dream pop".

[@pedalpartners]

haha i saw that too, pretty accurate

[@sloppy_hand]

[@azamora3847]

Oof I was waiting for this 👏 awesome stuff guys! I’m honestly learning guitar just so I can make dream pop 😅

[@ryanpeterson9562]

DUDE thanks for this

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I like the twangy, acoustic "Fade Into You" and the Velvet Underground-influenced title track "So Tonight That I Might See".

[@pedalpartners]

two great songs, love velvet underground also

[@marceloadelar]

I used to consider myself a big Cocteau Twins fan but had never heard Alice. Amazing song

[@pedalpartners]

it's beautiful

[@caseyking8394]

You've got a documentary narrotors voice

[@pedalpartners]

hehe

[@Winterharbourmusic]

100% agree

[@astronomical13]

Great video! I think this is something a lot of dream pop fans probably already know but since it wasn’t mentioned in the video or comments it could be said it the first “dream pop” song is “All I Wanna Do” by The Beach Boys in 1970.

[@Juanito._._]

so it's basically shoegaze without the dirt ?

[@pedalpartners]

yeah :)

[@gordoncullen7176]

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

A song that to me sounds like a very early and very counterintuitive influence on the emergence of dream pop is “Sara” by Fleetwood Mac from the 1979 Tusk album. There are probably some mechanics that are different from dream pop, but the song has a very dreamy, ethereal swirling sound and energy, with a jangly edge and intense rhythm that sounds sort of like a heartbeat. It goes thru a couple phases where the dreamlike quality swells and then almost evaporates, as if the dreamer is almost waking up. Lyrical references to drowning in a metaphorical sea, dreams that never really die, “a great dark wing within the wings of a storm.” Gorgeously layered trance like instrumentation and spooky, distant background vocals all masquerading as a conventional pop song. I hear kernels of what then became the sound associated with dream pop bands. On its surface FM would seem like an unlikely band to mention here but the song is worthy of consideration as an example of early dream pop influence.

[@jakejuntilla1752]

Souvlaki was the nevermind of shoegaze

[@pedalpartners]

basically haha. love 'em both. discovered nirvana first, then slowdive :)

[@patrickel94]

What is Loveless the shoegaze version of?

[@Flibbybibby]

Loveless is the (importance equivalence) of Nevermind. Souvlaki is great but a bit disjointed and very overrated nowadays with Americans especially. imo JFAD is Slowdive’s pinnacle for me.

[@jakejuntilla1752]

m j I did feel the same way for quite awhile but souvlaki had a more significant impact to me personally. When I listen to loveless I think of it as a basis to the “shoegaze” sound and mbv as the pioneer. In terms of the grunge era comparison mbv would be more closely related to husker du, both bands contributing significantly to the genre (shoegaze and grunge) laying down the groundwork of what is and what could become. Souvlaki is to Nevermind meaning it was the culmination of what the genre had to offer pre-album. It had the typical dreamlike sound but the album was structured like a dream in itself, each song correlating to every other in that manner. To this day I never skipped a song on that album

[@Flibbybibby]

@@jakejuntilla1752 Imo Psychocandy would be the Husker in that scenario. Souvlaki is just not consistent to me whilst JFAD has continuity. To each their own. :) 👍

[@lemonking3644]

It gives me beach vibes❤

[@pnwajs3532]

A.R. Kane. Wow, brings me back. I first heard of them from their compilation album called Americana when it released in America. Amazing, dreamy, helped open up my young head to a new sound I hadn't heard at the time.

[@jamesoloughlin8268]

Second skin by the chameleons is brilliant dreampop song

[@ebird67]

I have never known how to categorize The Chameleons, but they and the Cocteau Twins are my two all-time favorite bands, and Second Skin is my favorite track by the Chameleons. I feel like so much dream pop, shoegaze, and the post-punk revival of recent years was influenced by The Chameleons, even if most people have never heard of them.

[@thesystemboot2664]

There are connections with Cocteau Twins and David Lynch. He wanted This Mortal Coil- Song To the Siren in Blue Velvet. TMC was a 4AD supergroup and that song was Cocteau Twins. It later appeared in Lost Highway. The song was originally done by Tim Buckley which he performed on the last episode of The Monkees. He was the father of Jeff Buckley who dated Liz Fraser.

[@pedalpartners]

thanks for this comment! i was thinking of adding this, but decided against. i love both original & this mortal coil's version of 'song to the siren.' big fan of jeff buckley's music also. thanks for watching - do share! :)

@@pedalpartners Oxygene Pt 2 is my favourite. Klaus Schulze - Cyborg from 1973 is interesting too. Ashra - New Age of Earth 1977, 70's synth dream scape instrumental. And Tangerine Dream - Phaedra Revisited 1974. All great 70's analog synth.

[@taliesinechoes4513]

I'm not clear on something you seemed to be saying, earlier in the video. Are you saying that you think A R Kane predated or influenced Cocteau Twins? If so, this is not the case. Cocteau Twins started in either 1979 or 1980. A R Kane started in 1986. I use to know Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, and Simon Raymonde. I once told him that I had heard that he was friends with A R Kane, and that he had produced something by them. He said yes on both counts. In other words, Cocteau Twins were the spark that set off what became Dream Pop.

[@sunsetappleton6080]

it sounded more like he was suggesting that they coined the term, or it was coined in regards to them.

[@taliesinechoes4513]

@@sunsetappleton6080 Ok, that makes more sense.

[@the21stcenturypainter66]

Yes, I remember this . I bought an AR Kane CD at the time because some tracks were produced or remixed by Robin Guthrie. Cocteau Twins were already the gods of shoegaze at that point as far as I remember. AR Kane had their own interesting sound, a mix of shoegaze, dance and dub reggae but never really lived up to the promise. The use of the term Dreampop more broadly is some post 2000-thing.

Interestingly, I've listened to Souvlaki multiple times and I'm not too crazy for any of the songs except Souvlaki Space Station. However, I like their self titled album a lot. I don't know why I don't find Souvlaki as special as everyone else.

[@pedalpartners]

it will grow on you! one of my favourite albums, one of the ones where i'm still finding new stuff in the production, the composition -- to this day! 'souvlaki space station' is my favourite song of all time, kinda tied with 'crazy for you.' 'alison' '40 days' 'machine g' are all cinematic masterpieces. 'here she comes' is a great build up to 'space station.' also, try listening to 'moussaka chaos' before 'space station' -- game changing!
