More of a vibe than a genre, dream pop is a difficult concept to define. Adjacent to the similarly amorphous worlds of shoegaze and slowcore, dream pop conjures big feelings from hazy, effects-laden guitars and shimmering synth pads, accompanied more often than not by a silky and reverberant female vocal.
This is the focus of our latest free sample pack, which features a collection of loops and one-shots designed to be used in dream pop productions. Running our guitars and synths through an extensive palette of effects processors, we've put together 139 bewitching sounds that could be straight out of a Cocteau Twins joint.
