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?

Some type of skin by AURORA.

Not totally sure it fits your description, but it’s hella intense and I love it.

Hmm, I have no idea what to call the genre but I like that song you shared! Maybe California Nights or Where Were You When the Sky Opened Up? I’ll try to think some more, those are just off the top of my head

Best Coast is very fun.

I hadn’t heard that Best Coast song. I love When I’m With You by them, but this one has a very different vibe. Good stuff!

Air is an excellent band that seems to fit your bill and if you don’t mind a darker dream there’s always the OG of shoegaze Portishead.

I have strong music association with memories so most of my feelie invoking music is pretty fucking random (like associating wanderlust with Beck’s Guero).

“Reckoner” - Radiohead
“Walking in My Shoes” - Depeche Mode
“Bloodbuzz Ohio” - The National
“Black” - Pearl Jam
“Glory Box” - Portishead
“Unfinished Sympathy” - Massive Attack

Portishead - Glorybox
I’m not sure what, but that song conjured untold emotions in me for the entirety of 2003

While it’s certainly energetic, I think the type of energy is vastly different from what OP is after

Nemo , (edited )

Jenny Lewis — “Head Underwater”

Cordelia’s Dad — “Little Speckled Egg”

Cracker — “Guarded by Monkeys”

Freelance Whales — “Generator ^ First Floor”

Minus the Bear — “Let’s Play Guitar in a Five Guitar Band”

You’re gonna share the playlist when you’re done, right?

This one might be too mainstream, but:

Iron & Wine — “Woman King”

Good thing you mentioned a playlist. I don’t use Spotify anymore but I still have an account there so I will likely curate a playlist to share.

Nemo ,

Sounds great! I’ll keep adding tracks as I think of them. Liked that Astropol track, BTW.

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

UltraGiGaGigantic ,

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

Don’t mistake my silence for negligence, y’all; keep the recommendations going and I’ll give them all a listen eventually.

Dream-like and energetic? Try Boris - Melody and their whole Noise album.

Not sure if this will be what you’re after, but the first thing that reminded me of is Goodbye by Apparat (although that’s a bit slower than the tune you linked).

Zibobwa ,

This is what you are looking for: Cocteau Twins. open.spotify.com/track/37pKTyMwalomKCZjxTc2QZ?si=…Enjoy!

Beach House might be close to this? You could try the songs “Myth” or “Silver Soul”

Other suggestions:

Pink Bullets - The Shins
Taro - Alt-J
My Warm Blood - The Microphones
