It seems that the dream pop genre has shoved aside the chill-wave and garage rock that reigned in 2010 to dominate in 2011. These bands that seem to have pirated the soundtrack from your dreams are everywhere this year. I couldn’t exactly say why because it’s not like you’re gonna turn dream pop on if you wanna bust a move and you definitely can’t sing along with it. Regardless, there’s something ineffably catchy about it when its done right. Dream-pop outfit Braids is set to release a 7″ with Purity Ring in October. Purity Ring has caused quite a stir on the blogosphere lately and I have a feeling Braids will catch up with the repute pretty soon. Take a listen to Braids’ contribution to the upcoming release “Peach Wedding.”
