This week on the program, Jake Rudh steers us through the awesome textures and moods of dream pop. We'll hear some of the staple artists from the late '80s and early '90s, but also current bands that carry on that melodic torch today. From Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and  Chapterhouse to Lush, Slowdive and Beach House, we invite you to tune in to experience an ethereal and mesmerizing journey of distorted beauty.
