Shoegazer Sunday: Darker My Love’s “Two Ways Out”

Sunday, March 20th, 2016

Darker My love shows up on the Every Noise at Once Shoegaze map. And even though “Two Ways Out” sounds pretty close to straight pop, there’s just enough reverb and treatment on the guitar line for me to include it here.

Shoegazer Sunday: Orange’s “Against Nature”

Sunday, March 6th, 2016

And here’s Orange, another “classic” shoegaze band I never heard of before St. Marie Records started planning a re-release of their work.

Either you’ll love Sonya Waters’ vocals (a beautiful high warble somewhere between The Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan and Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard), or they’ll drive you to distraction. I’m in the love camp, so here’s “Against Nature.”

Shoegazer Sunday: Vidulgi OoyoO’s “Infinity”

Sunday, February 7th, 2016

Korean psychgazer band Vidulgi OoyoO’s “Infinity” is one of those songs that starts slow and keeps building on the same basic groove, a bit like Lemon’s Chair, though Vidulgi OoyoO has a harder and faster edge.

Shoegazer Sunday: Picnic’s “Stop the Fall”

Sunday, January 31st, 2016

Here’s a find: A band from Estonia that sounds a bit like a cross between several of my favorite Shoegaze bands (Slowdive, Echodrone, Mazzy Star, School of Seven Bells, Malory) called Picnic that just about no one seems to have heard of. “Stop the Fall” has all of 17 views as I type this.

And they’re pretty good. Good enough that I picked up The Weather’s Fine, their debut album, which iTunes has at $7.99.

Sunday Shoegazer: Blackstone Rngrs’ “Frozen Echo”

Sunday, January 24th, 2016

For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Austin’s own Blackstone Rngrs (yes, they spell it that way), another Saint Marie Records band, with “Frozen Echo,” another entry in the “Hey, we have no video budget, so how many digital effects can we cram in” sweepstakes.

Shoegazer Sunday: Under Electric Light’s “Waiting For The Rain To Fall”

Sunday, January 17th, 2016

Under Electric Light‘s “Waiting For The Rain To Fall” starts off an awful lot like David Bowie’s “Heroes,” then goes off in its own direction.

Sunday, January 10th, 2016
