Blue 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.

Sunday, November 24th, 2019Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive Sleep Mix

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.

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…
