I like Grimes, but I'm not sure how she could possibly be described as Dream Pop.
Check out Beach House for a good example of the sub-genre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeaHW-rUsUQ |

nice topic, love dream pop, the Tame Impala cover was great
![]() As well as those already mentioned, most of whom I love I could list quite a few other favourites. Slowdive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2INLBsRYVBs John Foxx & Robin Guthrie, the Mirrorball album is very dreamy, a favourite of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKH_J03NMJM iamamiwhoami http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMroXbAmrI8 Perfume Genius ...probably not dream pop? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrrEKEgTOfU Mew are one of my favourite bands, so under appreciated, some of their music is really dreamy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oJRYzSTNO4 Paradise by Wild Nothing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP8wfslr7hY Nice song from the new Moby album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_VkETFPzQ Von by Sigur Rós <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6LCbJe1dmg Some Goldfrapp stuff too i'd recommend the Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree albums and this new song 'Drew' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCzoTQqEoFg bit of a long post ![]()

Mew are a great band but I wouldn't class them as dream pop - but they do occasionally drop into that genre from time to time, ' Silas, the magic car' maybe being their best example.
Going to see me live in London next month! |

Angel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U54tkJ5fLrE Ambrosia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EacilOuwrHo They are definitely some of her strongest tracks, I wish they were on the main album! Plus I think her vocals in general bring her into that dream-pop direction more so than her her instrumentation does. |

90's Dream pop band Mazzy Star have just released a new album and should be checked out.
Drugstore (another 90's band) have also recently released a new album so the genre is still alive Unfortunately School Of Seven Bells have recently gone into Hiatus due to Benjiman being diagnosed with cancer |

If we're wondering who might fall into the DP category,
MOJO magazine gave away a CD titled "Dream Pop" in 2010. It included: Sigur Ros, Mercury Rev, Panda Bear and the Ruby Suns and some older proto-DP stuff (Brian Eno w/ Cluster, the Cocteau Twins). |

This makes a lot of sense, dream pop originated as a subgenre of alternative rock and has recently descended more into a pop/electronica direction.

A bit of sad news in the dream pop genre is that Benjamin from School of Seven Bells passed away just before the new year at the age of 35 after being diagnosed with cancer a year ago.
Definitely a band you should check out |

I'm not sure I would have called this 'Dream Pop' at the time but The Cocteau Twins sound just as good as most of the newer artists. I would say they sound better.
Heaven or Las Vegas Pearly-DewDrops' Drop (second time I have got to reference that fav) Elizabeth Fraser really falls under the radar when it comes to innovators. If this is just dreamy music then The Durutti Column - Sketch of Summer And is this not Dream Pop? Liverpool Express - You Are my Love. ( never though I would ever reference that!) |

Sorry but I think the only artist that could be called Dream Pop in your list is Lyke Li
I think the rest is just you trying to shoe-horn your favourites into a thread! For me The Ronettes were doing something like 'Dream Pop' in 1964. Walking in the Rain |
