Shoegazer Sunday: Presents for Sally’s “A Touch of Joy, a Touch of Sadness”
Sunday, March 8th, 2015Shoegazer Sunday: Ummagma’s “Rotation”
Sunday, March 1st, 2015“Ummagma is a Canadian-Ukrainian indie duo” of Alexx Kretov and Shauna McLarnon that describes their music as “Rock, Pop, Electronic, Ambient Styles: Alternative, Indie Rock, Dream Pop, Ambient/Ethereal, Synth Pop Electronica, Lo-Fi, Post-Rock, Pop Rock, Indietronic, Progressive Rock, Shoegaze, Instrumental, Space Rock, Power Pop.” Well, that covers a lot of territory, doesn’t it?
Here’s “Rotation,” the video for which is pretty interesting.
Looks like some of the video was stolen from here.
Shoegazer Sunday: Manon Meurt’s “To Forget”
Sunday, February 22nd, 2015Evidently Manon Meurt are from the Czech Republic.
Shoegazer Sunday: Maps’ “Elouise”
Sunday, February 15th, 2015Maps is evidently the shoegaze band name for UK musician James Chapman. “Elouise” is a pleasantly buzzy song, and the video features cutting edge screen saver technology from about 1997.
Shoegazer Sunday: Jeniferever’s “The Sound of Beating Wings”
Sunday, February 8th, 2015This is pretty swell considering the lead singer can’t really sing. If this band was fronted by a top-notch singer like Rachel Goswell or Hope Sandoval, it would be unbelievably awesome.
Shoegazer Sunday: Ulrich Schnauss’ “Clear Day”
Sunday, February 1st, 2015Ulrich Schnauss seems to have played with half the people in Shoegazerdom, from Mojave 3 to Asobi Seksu. Here’s “Clear Day” from one of his solo works, which sounds a bit like Malory.
Shoegazer Sunday: Creepoid’s “Yellow Wallpaper”
Sunday, January 25th, 2015Creepoid hails from Philadelphia. I’m guessing this song is based on the Charlotte Perkins Gilman story of the same name.
It’s been a busy week, so that’s all the context you’re gonna get…
Shoegazer Sunday: Jellybelly’s “Illusion Dreams”
Sunday, January 11th, 2015Here’s another bite of Indonesian shoegaze band Jellybelly:
And is it just me, or do the intro chords to “Illusion Dreams” sound an awful lot like a down-tuned version of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer”?
It’s a pleasant piece, though the female harmonies need a little work…
Shoegazer Sunday: Seasurfer’s “Waves”
Sunday, January 4th, 2015And here’s yet another track from St. Marie Records Static Waves 3 compilation, Seasurfer’s “Waves” (which is not a cover of Slowdive’s “Waves”):
Shoegazer Sunday: Drowner Covering Slowdive’s “Hide Yer Eyes”
Sunday, December 21st, 2014I’m really digging that Saint Marie Records Static Waves 3 album I talked about last week, though it turns out that only about one-third of the songs on it are actually Slowdive covers.
I was completely unaware of Houston band Drowner before they released this amazing cover of “Hide Yer Eyes,” an unreleased Slowdive song I’d never heard before:
I wonder if vocalist Anna Bouchard is doing the harmony electronically, via overdubbing, or with a guest vocalist.
For contrast, here’s the original
I think this is one of those rare cases where the cover is better than the original.
