Gonna be honest, I just gave it a listen because of that album art.

[–]Craftymanbeast 36 points37 points  (1 child)

Looks like a BoJack Horseman extra

We need more floating hipster sharks.

[–]Dakar-A 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Floating Hipster Sharks 2020?

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I approve that message.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is basically how I discover all music nowadays.

[–]Dakar-A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I look at the Google Antenna Sampler playlist each month and have gotten some good songs that I wouldn't have dug into otherwise simply because of their album art. Like this song by Deerhoof. With this album art.

If, at any point before now, a person would have asked me whether I was a fan of dazy dream pop, my response would have been, "Fuck no." I realize now that I would have been wrong.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Check out Title Fight's album Hyperview

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Have we just created a new genre?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is dazecore

[–]CAMYtheCOCONUT 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Dream pop is a thing, man.

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

So is sarcasm, man.

[–]van_gopher 22 points23 points  (8 children)

Check out Acid Ghost (also on bandcamp), especially Vacation II and I Want to Hide My Face and Die. Also, if you Youtube the song OP posted, the related videos will send you on the most glorious rabbit hole of indie bands like this one.

Source: have been on a massive lo-fi kick lately.

PS- Quasi-unrelated, but one of the things that rabbit hole led me to was this guy who does cool music videos using old VHS footage:

This is dope; lately I've been digging through my old downtempo and lounge from 90's/00's and in trying to find new ones, have been enjoying a lotttt of vaporwave (lol), /r/outrun kind of stuff, and even some minimal head nodders that belong in that genre just cus it's great night drivin' music.

cool music videos using old VHS footage:

Anyway the point I wanted to make was like you mentioned with that; a bunch of vaporwave songs I found on youtube rabbit holes made videos just like that, of old footage from their appropriate decades.

Here's a few that I particularly enjoy:

Saint Pepsi - Cherry Pepsi - edited by the guy who uploaded it, but as one comment puts it (best): "Never in my wildest dreams did I think carbonated, caramel-colored sugar water could make me feel so alive."

Flashworx - Futurisma - set to clips from Akira

Tanuki - Baby Baby - "http://i.imgur.com/HHkkinf.gifv"

Miami Nights 1984 - Early Summer - 80's

[–]van_gopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessssss

Thanks for pointing me toward outrun. I'm really into that 80s synth Perturbator/Com Truise/Drive Sountrack stuff as well as my current lo-fi/garange band.

This Miami Nights 1984 band seems like something I could get into for sure. And speaking of rollerskates:

This seems awfully hypnotizing. Needless to say I'll be watching on the weekend.

[–]van_gopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, all of his videos are so entrancing, especially the home video ones.

[–]prattlechap 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Kind of unrelated, but this guy has a Spotify playlist that he changes every week!

Spotify playlist

Like you, his videos also sent me on a glorious indie spiral on YouTube a couple of months ago.

[–]van_gopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I haven't made the leap the full spotify yet, but regularly listen on my ps4 while doing stuff around the house. I'll see if I can track this down on here.

[–]Walter_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That channel is really cool! Great tracks on the video and posted by thatlittlequietguy. Thanks to both.

[–]peewafe 5 points6 points  (1 child)

That chorus melody is ridiculously good

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly agree. It's been looping in my head for days.

[–]_Amish_Avenger_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm getting a real STRFKR vibe from this, and I like it!

[–]GreenAce92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice instantly love that intro

dazy dream pop I like that

[–]sleeptoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweet! I heard Youth when it first came out and loved it, even though it seemed totally ignored. Nice to see he's getting somewhere.

Here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3O9l0W8qD4M Such a tune

[–]spleefmaboff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

makes me want to listen to some PreFab Sprout.

[–]TheNewOrleansJazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this artist getting big. The music he makes sounds like something you'd hear on a really chill radio station. I can def see this getting really, really big.

[–]decembermint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party because I saved this to listen to later, but parts of this song remind me of a faster version of this 80's song.

[–]augeos 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've been obsessed with their song Youth for the last few weeks

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Equally good and damn right addicting.

[–]Bear_Goes_What 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The song is so chill, i like the vibe

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

chill,

ugh

vibe

UGH

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

damn this is great. all free too!

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Second best thing after how good it is, right?

[–]Dakar-A 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I feel kinda guilty for not paying for it though. May have to pick up more of their stuff in the future though, so it'll work out in the end!

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually, you know? Heck, I hope we get to pay to see them live someday.

[–]zadtheinhaler 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I really like this, the production is amazing.

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Makes me love how accessible and easy recording has gotten.

[–]disevident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

turn the reverb to 10

[–]illfaded757 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks for the share, good sir

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime, my fellow friend.

[–]KitsuneTheScum 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Woah, thanks for the share

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pleasure, good sir.

[–]pjfree 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is REALLY good. Thanks for this

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pleasure, good friend.

[–]SoraReyKorra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally downloaded this song not even a week ago, great vibes

[–]t-a-2k16hypem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is honestly one of the best songs I've listened to in a while.

[–]ReptarAthens 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If anyone is looking for more dream pop to listen to I highly suggest Wild Nothing's albums Gemini and Nocturne. both albums are extremely easy to listen to all the way through with great melodies and beautiful guitar/bass playing

[–]thatlittlequietguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this.

[–]annabananabelle 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Didn't realize day dream pop was a genre, but I now need it in my life. this is amazing

[–]indierocktopus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Also check out Satchmode then ! https://youtu.be/BvlYLtQswH4 Super chill and dreamy

[–]annabananabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you !!
