Hey /mu/, this might be a little specific, but I'm looking for pop music that sounds nothing like pop music. Structurally pop, and preferably catchy, but the artist does something abstract or psychedelic with it. Thanks in advance. Pic related is a good example. I like Merriweather more but it doesn't have all that many pop song structures.
Is "interesting" some kind of code word for "awful?"

this would only apply to a few of their albums, namely jordan and swoon. if you want pure amazing concentrated pop, steve mcqueen is a great choice

Thanks for the recs! Not familiar with all these genres. I guess psych pop but not generic tame impala stuff.

Thanks dude. Love Dan and OTC. Tried hissing fauna by oM and wasn't really feeling it, would you say the album you posted is better?
>>68302627
Thanks friend, this album is an absolute gem, I love marmalade kids. Hopefully someone else who's never heard it will find it in this thread and come to love it like us.

Thanks dude, I like Dean Blunt and John Maus but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Will still write down the rest of your recs anyways.
