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?

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).
