Can you suggest some energetic, dream-like alternative songs? (midwest.social)

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but here I made a Spotify collaboration list! The only rules are 1) don't remove somebody else's song and 2) don't spam-add 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?

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.

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