Top 10 Best Dreamcore Music 2022 Albums

DREAMCORE is a very weird aesthetic that is invading the internet, specially at facebook groups and tik tok videos. At first look this can be something not serious and just for little kids. But is a true scene with something very artistic who take big influences from painting, collage and internet culture in general.

We can explain this visually as a mixture between surrealism, vaporwave and old video game pixel aesthetic.

For other part, musically, dreamcore doesn't have an specific style or sound. But have in common the use of dreamy atmospheres, distorted electronic effects, focused mainly in experimental, vapor drone, and witchy experimental beats. Also lo-fi, and weird pop songs.

Since 2021 the underground music platform: "Bandcamp" was the main hosting for artists inspired on dreamcore who use apart of the aesthetic in their artworks, a big inspiration mixing the previously mentioned genres.

So this 2022 we as blog decided create a TOP 10 just for fun, of albums (not Ep's/Singles) related to this very interesting and strange art movement. It's November and the year stills running. But we have our favorites now, then there's no time to loose. We hope next year make another, if the scene continue alive and creating new content.

dreamcore/weirdcore aesthetic on witch house artworks?

▼ DREAMS ON THE WITCH HOUSE MUSIC ▼

The link between dreams thematic started on witch house music since the beginning of the genre, the Phantasma Disques compilations about Twin Peaks (tv serie mainly about dreams and parallel realities) and artists like L▲ke Radio, Pwin 山 Teaks, Enix Inri, Ghent, Omebi &▲NDRΛS was inspired in the early years by dreams and surrealism.

Recently finally arrives a sort of new tendence, some witchy artists added the dreamcore & weirdcore aesthetic as concept to their music artworks. Coincidence? Is maybe this a new direction for keep alive that old nostalgia to witch house old school early days of 2010 to 2012? the magic, the seapunk waves, the smell of bizarre experimental vibes, the weird artworks with collages,,.. returned all these things to the witch house conjure??? or is just a momentary lapse in the evolution of this undead dark genre?

Only the future will tell us the history of witch haus / draghaus / haunted house / black house / witchy mansion or commonly named as witch house (thanks photoplane for your contribution to art).
