So how did I miss this until now?

I was thinking about putting up something from Echodrone’s new album, but I stumbled across their cover of “Celebrated Summer” by Husker Du (a band never, ever, ever associated with Shoegaze). This is a case where the cover is much better than the original.
Plus old home movies have a certain fascination to them.
Also, bitrot seems to have have removed two of my favorite Echodrone songs from previous Shoegazer Sunday entries, so here are “Under an Impressive Sky”:
And “Gravity”:
The original version used clips from Memoirs of a Giesha, which is probably why it’s not online anymore…
Echodrone has a new album out*, Past, Preset and Future, and “The Past or the Present” is a track off that.
*Correction: Evidently it doesn’t drop until January 23.
Australia’s Deafcult released their album Auras last year, and “Rubix” is off that.
Last year this time I threw Stellarscope’s version of “Silent Night,” and I liked it so much I decided to turn it into one of those “holiday traditions” you hear so much about.
Merry Christmas!
We did some Blankenberge back in February, so here’s another shot off their new album Radiogaze.
Despite the name, this Shoegaze outfit hails from Los Angeles. Hope you like practical lights and glowing, superimposed lyrics.
“Directed by James Franco.” Really?
Getting 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.
For 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.
Since Saint Marie records is releasing Secret Shine’s Singles 1992-1994, I thought it would be a good time to throw up some of their work, so here’s “Falling Again.”
