Can you suggest some energetic, dream-like alternative 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?

The drums - portamento

AIR - Moon safari

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

Might be to electronica for your tastes but try Tycho’s Dive and awake albums

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

You might dig No Joy, Lush, Cindy Lee, the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine

What the hell is shoegaze, anyway?

Ask four different people and you’ll get four different answers, but the term first started to get thrown at bands as an insult around the late 80s in the UK because guitarists in certain alternative bands would be using so many different effects during their performances they’d spend the whole show staring at their pedalboards (I think a review of a My Bloody Valentine show in particular is where the term got coined)

100% shoegaze fits the bill perfectly for OPs request. i’d add slowdive to that list

there’s some great, highly independent shoegaze on yt

also, some Dandy Warhols & Brian Jonestown probably fits the bill, eg. this track

Ah dang someone beat me to my bloody valentine. Deleting my comment

Wild Nothing - nocturne

I concur with those Beach House suggestions and add maybe EMA, Slowdive and possibly Cocteau Twins and Piano Magic. Maybe even the work of Brian Eno in Another Green World?

Oh, and by the way, “shoegaze” is nothing more than a journalistic name to group all bands in the popular musical scene that made a heavy use of pedals to distort or generally modify their guitar sound. They spent so much time watching at their pedals in contrast of earlier guitar players, that they looked like they were gazing at their shoes.

I have a playlist called Kodak Daydreams that be what you’re looking for. It’s mostly dreampop and shoegaze

Rapture by Iio.

How about some Beach House?

The entire album Symbol by Susumu Yokota might hit the right nerve, though it’s heavier on the dreamlike side and doesn’t have lyrics. I use it for driving, writing, anything that needs a kind of hypnotized but functional state of mind.

Strayce ,

Your description made me think of The Golden Palominos.

My brother in christ, you need some Hatchie.
