Despite the name, this Shoegaze outfit hails from Los Angeles. Hope you like practical lights and glowing, superimposed lyrics.
“Directed by James Franco.” Really?

Shoegazer Sunday: Tashaki Miyaki’s “Girls on T.V.”
Sunday, December 10th, 2017Shoegazer Sunday: Sleep Party People’s “I’m Not Human At All”
Sunday, October 29th, 2017Getting harder to find any Halloween or horror-themed Shoegaze, and anytime I find a Darkgaze or Blackgaze song I think I like, the Cookie Monster Metal vocals come in to ruin it.
So here’s Sleep Party People, who seem to be at the intersection of post-rock, chillout, prog rock and Shoegaze, and the bunny masks on display here in “I’m Not Human at All” make it just odd enough to use for the Halloween offering.
Halloween Horrors: “Remains of the Day”
Saturday, October 28th, 2017I always thought this musical number from Corpse Bride was pretty cool, and I still do. It also has more than enough dancing skeletons for Halloween:
Shoegazer Sunday: The Denzels “Self-Talk”
Sunday, October 8th, 2017For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s The Denzels “Self-Talk”. They sound a bit like classic-era Jesus and Mary Chain, with maybe a bit of early U2 thrown in.
Shoegazer Sunday: Secret Shine’s “Falling Again”
Sunday, August 20th, 2017Since Saint Marie records is releasing Secret Shine’s Singles 1992-1994
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive performing “No Longer Making Time” live on KCRW
Sunday, July 23rd, 2017Yeah, another live Slowdive song. I’ve been busy with a new dog, so I haven’t had a chance to go trawling for new shoegaze bands.
Hat tip to Andrew Wimsatt for alerting me to this.
Shoegazer Sunday: Linda Guilala’s “Uroboros”
Sunday, July 16th, 2017I liked last week’s Linda Guilala track so much I bought the album, so this week’s track is “Uroboros,” which is also off Psiconáutica.
Shoegazer Sunday: Linda Guilala “Monstruo”
Sunday, July 9th, 2017Here’s Spain’s Linda Guilala (a band, not a woman) with “Monstruo” off their album Psiconáutica, which I might have to pick up, as the tracks strike me as a tasty mix of Shoegaze, classic analog synth and just a dash of 8-bit.
(Hat tip: Sounds Better With Reverb, which seems to have stopped updating after the end of 2016.)
Shoegazer Sunday: De Montevert “Its alright I’m probably dreaming”
Sunday, July 2nd, 2017This is more Dreampop than Shoegaze, but it’s pretty, so here it is.
I’m guessing De Montevert hails from Sweden, based on email addresses and umlauts.
Shoegazer Sunday: Pie Are Squared’s “36 Degrees on a Saturday”
Sunday, June 25th, 2017To be honest, this isn’t so much a Shoegaze band as a single guitarist showing how to do shoegaze and performing all the parts himself via mixing, loops and digital Frippitronics.
