Dream-Pop is an atmospheric subgenre of alternative rock that relies on
sonic textures as much as melody.
Dream-pop often features breathy vocals and processed, echo-laden
guitars and synthesizers. Though the Cocteau Twins, with their
indecipherable vocals and languid soundscapes, are frequently seen as
the leaders of dream-pop, the genre has more stylstic diversity than
their slow, electronic textures. Dream-pop also encompasses the
post-Velvet Underground guitar rock of Galaxie 500, as well as the loud,
shimmering feedback of My Bloody Valentine. It is all tied together by a
reliance on sonic texture, both in terms of instruments and vocals.
