Here’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.)
This 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.
To 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.
How did I miss The Octopus Project until now? You would think an Austin band with a female theremin player would be right up my alley…
Been a while since we did some Asian Shoegaze, so here’s Thailand’s Yellow Fang with “Selfish.”
I’ve been on a Slowdive kick since I heard the new album has coming out, and it way exceeded my expectations for it.
Here’s a live performance for Pitchfork that features both new and old songs, including “Slomo,” “Catch the Breeze” “Slowdive,” “Star Roving” and “Avalyn.” For some reason the music doesn’t actually start until 7:15 into the video.
Been a while since I featured something from The Asteroid Shop, so here’s “On the Rise”:
Previously I think they were an Austin band. but they now seem to be based out of LA.
Slowdive’s new self-titled album
Buy it.
Here’s a live version of “No Longer Making Time,” one of the new tracks:
The studio version is even prettier.
I’m watching new episodes of MST3K and listening to a new Slowdive album. I’ve obviously died and gone to 1990s Heaven…
The breathy vocals of Aimee Nash, half of Los Angeles-by-way-of-Australia duo The Black Ryder, merit obvious comparison to Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval. Here they are with “Seventh Moon,” which reminds me a bit of SPC ECO’s “Tweet Fields at Night” and is about 97% pure beauty by weight.
