Feeling the summer heat and having trouble deciding what to listen to? This week’s episode of The New Sincerest has you covered with a set of dream pop and shoegaze favorites. Defined by heavy use of reverb, layers of guitar and synth, and evocative vocal melodies, these two genres remind me of summer through their atmosphere, their emotion, and their warmth. Check out the jangly dream “Summer Holiday” by Wild Nothing, the immense-as-a-sun-flare “Only You Know” by Beach House, the synthgoth rocker “Sixteen Ways” by Frankie Rose, and more!
