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?

Big shoegaze fan here. Give decayfm.com a listen. I didn’t see Slowdive mentioned but you should give them a listen.

Ten Thousand Years Won't Save Your Life by the band Hammock is like this, I wouldn't call it alternative, but wow, it opens up, takes you on a trip, gently sets you down.

Wow Shelther of My Love is so good how does this band have less than 1000 spotify listeners?

I tried to find stuff from my playlists that were similar, I found some that match the sound and some that match the description but none that match both. Here are a few of my suggestions:

Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice

Heatwaves by Glass Animals

begin again by Purity Ring

I Hope to Be Around by Men I Trust
