Dream Songs is the debut solo album by Canadian musician Devon Welsh. It was self-released through digital download on August 24, 2018 on Welsh's own label You Are Accepted.[3][4] It was Welsh's first studio album as a solo artist since he and producer Matthew Otto concluded their musical project Majical Cloudz in 2016.

Written by Welsh, the album was recorded and produced by Braids' Austin Tufts in his Montreal studio. The album marked a clear departure from the electronic pop sound of Welsh's previous work to a more melodic, chamber pop sound with traditional instruments like guitar, piano, and orchestral strings.[5][2]
