Chamber pop (sometimes called ork-pop,[1][2] short for "orchestral pop")[1][7] is a style of rock music[1] characterized by an emphasis on melody and texture, the intricate use of strings, horns, piano, and vocal harmonies, and other components drawn from the orchestral and lounge pop of the 1960s. Artists such as Burt Bacharach and the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson (especially the band's 1966 album Pet Sounds) inspired the genre's initial foundation.
