Back in the late 1990s, as I was looking around for some non-Slowdive Shoegazer music to listen to, I started looking through the late, lamented MP3.com. (It’s still around, but not nearly as good or important as it used to be.) One of the things I found was the EP Catch and Blur by an American Shoegazer band called Midsummer. After a long hiatus, Midsummer released a very strong album called Inside the Trees in 2008, which is well worth checking out on iTunes, etc. They fall somewhere on the “Shoegazer/Post-rock/Progressive Rock/Hey it’s music and I like it so stop trying to label it” continuum.
Here’s “Where the Waves,” which is on the poppy-side of Shoegazer, but is still I think a very good song.
