Best 100 chamber pop releases

Chamber pop is a subgenre of pop music that emerged in the mid-1960s, characterized by its ornate arrangements, intricate melodies, and use of classical instrumentation. The term "chamber pop" is derived from the ensemble-style chamber music, which often features a small group of performers playing acoustic instruments, such as strings, woodwinds, and brass.

Chamber pop songs typically feature lush string and horn arrangements, complex vocal harmonies, and intricate musical structures that borrow heavily from classical music. The lyrics of chamber pop songs often deal with introspective and personal themes, and are characterized by their poetic imagery and metaphorical language.

Some notable chamber pop artists include The Beach Boys, The Left Banke, Belle and Sebastian, Arcade Fire, and Sufjan Stevens.
