| | FIQL.com: Column: The Randomplay Archivist: Dream Pop |
 | | Dream Pop is another one of those genres that doesn’t derive from a particular musical discipline, such as country-rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, etc. Nor does it describe a new musical hybrid, in the sense of funk, or heavy metal. | | | Apartment Life was one of the standout albums of 1997, a mix of ethereal sonic texture and 60’s style pop, without sacrificing a distinctly modern edge. | | | The band released nine albums during a 1982-1996 recording career; they’re all pretty-good to pretty-great, and represent one aspect of dream pop better than anyone else. |

| | A career in pop music can be tenuous; it goes with the territory. | | | While indeed the backing music to her songs is generic keyboard-laden pop filler, her singing ability in Japanese and English - a J-pop staple in vogue over the past few years - is indeed worthy of note. | | | As a solo opener for the Stones during their "Steel Wheels" tour in 1989, whispers abounded that his encore performance of "Celebration" was seen as too strong a departure from his metal roots. |

| | The album took the dream pop concept and pushed it into new sonic territory, blending dreamy vocals, funk-inspired bass lines and the ever-present droning guitars. | | | Blending pop melodies and with a wash of feedback and noise, the album was a stunning clash of the Beach Boys and the Velvet Underground and set the tone for the shoe-gazer movement. | | | Although oft attributed to the early '90s, the true beginnings of the dream pop sound were in 1985, when the Jesus and Mary Chain released Psychocandy. |

| | indieville: review: fiel garvie - leave me out of this |
| | There's a difference between dream pop and shoegazer music. | | | With this album, bliss addicts will be pleased to discover one of last year's best dream pop releases, but the best thing about Leave Me Out Of This is that it marks the North American debut of what promises to a very, very good band. | | | Instead of going for fuzzy, blocky soundscapes and pretty, spaced-out melodies, Fiel Garvie's mission is to purvey pure pop - the eleven songs on this album don't stray far from the basic formula (dreamy, female-led indie pop), but instead distill it to perfection. |

| | For all its influence on the new breed of mopey post-punkers, Echo & the Bunnymen is actually a stellar pop band. | | | They're dreamy and tunefully crafted, made to become a part of you from the first listen, with incessant hooks and intertwined melodies. | | | On their 2005 album "Strange Geometry," the up-and-coming Hampshire-bred trio joins the spacious ethereality of American indie folk with hushed vocals and the sort of glowing guitar lines that only seem to happen in U.K. studios. |

| | The band's sound evolved quickly and produced songs that veer from swirling dream pop to indie rock to cautious twang. | | | With Lechner occasionally conceding some ground to the Country and Western endured at his parents' knee and the liquid pop underpinning of Popple and Galliford the sound is from all over the musical map, yet firmly and inevitably Canadian. | | | The richly textured album includes the guitar, keyboards and audio engineering of Brodie, and features the lap steel guitar of Chris Herbst. |

| | The feedback that closes out the first song (that happens on a few songs, actually) pops rather suddenly into some dissonant guitar noise which contrasts strangely with the overall melodic and cathartic nature of this song. | | | It's got a pleasant but urgent guitar line that seems to ascend hopefully, and the instrumental breaks between the verses manage to be heavenly and yet noisy at the same time. | | | The band's apocalyptic vision spills over into this harrowing epic, which for some reason reminds me of the few scattered Sonic Youth tracks that I've been exposed to. |

| | There’s an unsaid rule about dream pop: It has to be stuffed with frilly arrangements and breathless melodies, and be, above all else, nice and soft on the ears. | | | The moments when Jagged Junktion break from the light pop to put a bit more rock heft into its songs are the strongest on the EP — and are also the ones that break most from the band’s previous work. | | | While the balance of the moody dream-pop songs can be a downer — think of them as emo on suicide watch — their stark beauty overcomes some of their repressed aspects. |
