Members natepink Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 I thought the EP they put out a while ago was pretty good & I'm liking the album so far. Not a life altering listen but there are times when what I want is hazy reverb drenched pop. And I think Zachary Cole Smith is pretty on it when it comes to that. Diiv, Beach Fossils, Wild Nothing, Frankie Rose all tick that box for me. Anyone here listening to similar things?

Members ToonHollow Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just listened to a few DIIV songs. Will be buying later. I keep seeing Real Estate mentioned places but still haven't got around to listening, I'll check them out. Oh man you're in for a treat. I always play them when I feel like going the beach in my mind (or at a physical beach). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members penelope twee Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I saw the Diiv guy playing with Beach Fossils a few weeks ago. I prefer the minimalism of the latter but the Diiv record is pretty good too. I was too far away to see what equipment was being used alas.

I think Beach Fossils are awesome, I probably prefer them to Diiv too, I love that kind of clean tone & like you say overall minimalism. On top of that, like Diiv & the others I mentioned I think a lot of the songwriting is really good, there's so many bands in that kind of scene who make things that sound really nice but end up being pretty forgettable. Then again, I guess that's completely subjective anyway. A good Beach Fossils track: [video=youtube;fVQ8DWnKdq8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natepink Posted June 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 Actually, it seems that a lot of the bands I listen to lately are signed to Captured Tracks Widowspeak are another, reminds me of some of Howling Bells early stuff. And I love her accent. [video=youtube;m3rpJQco4wQ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LSDis4me Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 They had to change their name from Dive to Diiv, because another band was already called Dive. At least this is what the internet says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members captions87 Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like these guys. Kind of funny how all the Captured Tracks bands have that vibe. There's two acts from around here, Catwalk and Sea Lions, both are on CT if I'm not mistaken. I think it's like the OP said, not life altering, but in certain situations it's just what the doctor ordered. Still really don't know if I could listen to a full album of that repeatedly, though. Also: would this count as dreampop? It's pretty reverby and poppy. [video=youtube;zehE6lp_tFM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natepink Posted July 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 ^ ^ I've listened to a bit of Catwalk, I like 'No Room For Love', really good song. I do like the vibe going on at Captured Tracks, Widowspeak are a little different to the other bands on there. That song you posted, (really good) that's not really what dreampop is in my head, but I hate throwing around made up genre names anyway, all made up by people at Pitchfork & NME etc to try create this idea of a scene. I guess it just makes it easier get a conversation started on the internet, that's why I put it in the thread title, but I actually really hate that way of splitting up music. Good music bad music is better. Anyways, I just saw this video it all gets pretty rad about 4mins in: [video=youtube;akS3_NYUw-g] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
