Ethereal music is a genre of music that is characterized by its dreamy and otherworldly sound. It often features atmospheric textures, reverberating soundscapes, and female vocals that are usually high-pitched, ethereal, and airy. The genre is often associated with the shoegaze and dream pop movements of the 1980s and 1990s, but has also been influenced by various other styles such as ambient, folk, and electronic music. Ethereal music is often described as having a haunting and mystical quality, and is often used in film soundtracks, as well as in meditation and relaxation music. Some notable ethereal musicians include Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and This Mortal Coil.
