Here’s “Folk Arp,” another tune from Minor Victories:
The video is not particularly interesting. However, this cinéma vérité black and white piece following a trio of skateboarders at night is really nice.

For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Nothing’s “The Dead Are Dumb”:
Slowdive’s new, self-titled album, their first in two decades, is due out May 5. “Sugar for the Pill” is the second preview cut off that album (following “Star Roving“).
For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Australia’s Lapse with “Padded Cell” off their debut EP.
The Shoegaze revival seems to be in full bloom, with classic Shoegaze band Ride coming out with a new album this summer. “Home is a Feeling” is an early track off it, and comes down firmly on the hazy/blissful side of Shoegaze.
I was already inclined to like Minor Victories based on the presence of Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell. And then “Scattered Ashes (song for Richard)” is not only a swell song in its own right, but has video that punches all the Internet’s meme buttons at once.
I KAN HAZ SHOEGAZE?
Been a while since I featured tears Run Rings, so here’s “A Question and an Answer”:
UK-based Presents for Sally is another St. Marie Records band, and here’s a piece from the Static Waves 4 sampler.
We last featured Center of the Sun for their cover of Slowdive’s “Machine Gun”, but their only album, Machine Gun (which, ironically, doesn’t contain the Slowdive cover) is well worth picking up, and “Cease” is off that.
For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Russia’s Blankenberg with “Feel Alive,” which reminds me a little bit of The Cherry Wave (i.e. a noise floor above which floats the melody).
