Baroque pop is a style originated in the mid 1960s as the flipside of sunshine pop. It used similar orchestrations but was infused with a melodramatic edge which differed.
Much of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds would fall into this category, as would a lot of the later work of Phil Spector. Scott Walker is another important figure in the genre.
Others include:
- Burt Bacharach
- Emitt Rhodes
- Harpers Bizarre
- Harry Nilsson
- Judee Sill
- Love
- Nirvana - the original UK-based band
- Sagittarius
- Serge Gainsbourg
- The Association, particularly owing to Curt Boettcher
- The Free Design
- The Left Banke
- The Millennium
- The Zombies
- Van Dyke Parks
Modern baroque pop, characterized by an infusion of orchestral arrangements or classical type composition within an indie or indie pop setting, is also referred to as chamber pop or chamber rock. This style, with clear indie-rock inclinations, uses additional members in the band to create a fuller-bodied, more orchestral sound.
