It’s Monday, which means there’s a fresh The New Sincerest episode available! The heat wave over Iowa has receded for a moment and the overcast, summer calm has me feeling a bit romantic and dreamy. This week, I follow that feeling into dream pop and hypnagogic pop, two genres defined by nostalgia, melancholy, and reverence for music eras gone by. Check out the woozy make-out track “Cranekiss” by Tamaryn, the elegiac “The Last Year” by Jessica Pratt , the transcendental grunge of “Fleshless hand” by ML Buch, and more!
