folks we're gonna keep it rolling- that's right, it's time for
#ShoegazeSunday !!!
starting off on a more dreampop vibe, for anyone who isn't feeling the harder stuff I posted yesterday
kicking off with Sunny Day in Glasgow (a band from Philadelphia) doing the sweet and pretty 'Minor Keys'
next is the hugely underrated New Jersey group All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors, who mix MBV style noise with a quieter sensibility and very pretty harmonies
Blankenberge again with 'So High'
I underrated them bc they lack That One Song that takes you to a realm beyond space and time and leave you gasping and disoriented, but honestly they are the perfect fusion of honey and static, and have never recorded a bad tune
#ShoegazeSunday
Ride guitarist Andy Bell recorded a really good solo LP, off which this is my favorite song- that ultra rare drop, a shoegaze love song
#ShoegazeSunday
next we're going back in time to the Golden Age w one of the first shoegaze acts I found, Ultra Vivid Scene with 'Mercy Seat'
Double dipping with this Ulrich Schnauss remix of a Televise track- I usually don't like remixes but this one is a big improvement, gj Ulrich!
and, that's enough gauzy feelgood dreampop for now, let's move on to Tennis System, with their slab of overwhelming noise the aptly titled 'Crushing'
Hum is iconic not only for recording genre highpoint 'Stars' in the 90s, but returning after a decade plus hiatus to drop an oceanically powerful album with multiple songs equaling the very best from their prime
#ShoegazeSunday
next up, NYC's own Bowery Electric with 'Let Me Down'
Rare American first wave shogaze, this band rips
Curve are a criminally underrated, their first two EPs are foundational genre texts, and not available to stream, like this one- disappointing
anyway, they rip and this is one of their best tracks
Catbus
Biscuits of Death
