Shoegazer Sunday: Ultraviolet’s “Strawberry Echoes”
Sunday, December 20th, 2015Shoegazer Sunday: The Secret Machines’ “Nowhere Again”
Sunday, December 13th, 2015Honestly, this is more of a mainstream rock track than shoegaze. The connection here is that the Secret Machines was the main band the late Benjamin Curtis was in before School of Seven Bells.
Fresh Snow’s “Proper Burial”
Sunday, December 6th, 2015For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Fresh Snow‘s “Proper Burial” with a retro, Hammond B3-tinged sound and a vaguely surreal/creepy video.

Shoegazer Sunday: Luna Covers “Sweet Child O’Mine”
Sunday, November 22nd, 2015I’m not a big fan of Guns & Roses, but certainly “Sweet Child O’Mine” has to rank among their best, with one of the all-time great guitar hooks. Here’s Luna with a nicely chill, twangy rendition of it.

Here are a couple of the more tolerable examples:
I don’t think a revival is in the offing. It’s probably not even as interesting as that weird free jazz album accompanying Edward Gorey’s words…
Shoegazer Sunday: The Horrors’ “Scarlet Fields”
Sunday, October 25th, 2015This is as close as I could find to a Shoegazer song appropriate to Halloween week.
I’m assuming the name of the band refers to their haircuts…
Sunday Shoegazer: Air Formation’s “Low December Sun”
Sunday, October 18th, 2015Here’s Air Formation’s “Low December Sun.” I should probably save this for December, but I’m obviously an impatient sort…
