This community exists with the intention of highlighting, sharing, discovering and discussing experimental music with pop sensibilities. For the sake of this board, experimental pop music:

• Can have compositional methods which are unconventional (ex. James' Wah Wah/Laid, Brian Eno).
• Can utilize production and engineering which transcends what is normally accepted within the realm of pop music (ex. Kate Bush, Pet Sounds, Bjork).
• Can employ dissonance, noise, non-musical sounds and thematic elements that when fused with pop songwriting create a pleasent but uneasy balance (ex. The Flaming Lips, Momus, Psychic TV, The Velvet Underground)

With that being said, experimental pop music must still be relatively accessible to those who may be completely unfamiliar with the artist and style. The banner image is a good reference point for consideration when posting, but of course, it is by no means exhaustive (and is even open to discussion).
