Christmas Shoegazer: Stellarscope’s “Silent Night”
Wednesday, December 25th, 2019Shoegazer Sunday: Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” Slowed Down 800%
Sunday, November 24th, 2019Blue Oyster Cult isn’t Shoegaze by most definitions, but the person who slowed it down 800% also filled it with “huge reverse and forward reverbs fill in the huge gaps that would remain without.” Which makes it very sound very shoegaze/ambient/darkwave/space rock, the sort of music you would play upon discovery of a long lost alien city deep beneath the earth.
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive Sleep Mix
Sunday, October 27th, 2019Someone took a lot of obscure/unreleased Slowdive songs, put them together and made them even more echoey/dreamy.
Shoegazer Sunday: Speaker Gain Teardrop’s Galveston
Sunday, July 21st, 2019It’s been seven years since I last posted a Speaker Gain Teardrop song (damn, I’ve been doing these for that long?), so here’s the lushly beautiful “Galveston”:
What a band from Hiroshima is doing naming a song after a Texas port I couldn’t tell you…
Shoegazer Sunday: A Beautiful Machine’s “Breathe in Space”
Sunday, July 14th, 2019Back when MP3.com was a going concern, I bought A Beautiful Machine’s Solar Winds, White Noise, Antigravity based on the strength of “Breathe in Space.” In fact, it’s the third most played track on my iTunes. It lasts from 37:06 to 42:50 here.
A Beautiful Machine is evidently a part-time project of Skye Klein, better known for Terminal Sound System and HALO.
Shoegazer Sunday: The Radio Dept.’s “The New Improved Hypocrisy”
Sunday, July 7th, 2019A little more dreampop that Shoegaze, “The New Improved Hypocrisy” is a nicely pleasant piece:
Shoegazer Sunday: The Soft Cavalry’s “Dive”
Sunday, April 28th, 2019Another Rachel Goswell side project. Really more Shoegaze tinged retro ambient lounge, maybe somewhere between Malory and Echodrone at their softest.
Shoegazer Sunday: Broken Little Sister’s “Blue”
Sunday, March 24th, 2019Enjoy Broken Little Sister, another obscure Japanese Shoegazer band, which supposedly includes members of Civic. “Blue,” off their Memories, Violet & Demons album, sounds a little bit like Presents for Sally’s “When We All Move Away.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Stepdad’s “Must Land Running”
Sunday, March 17th, 2019This is more noisepop than Shoegaze, but it’s similar to some songs I’ve put up, so here it is:
Shoegazer Sunday: 93MillionMilesFromTheSun’s “The Times We Have Are Now”
Sunday, December 30th, 201893MillionMilesFromTheSun hail from Doncaster in South Yorkshire in the UK, and it’s been five years since I last featured them. If you like the groove that comes in about 20 seconds into “The Times We Have Are Now,” there’s a lot of it…
