Not sure this is actually Shoegaze, but it’s by two former members of Luna. They sound like they were thawed out of the same 1960s time capsule as Austin Powers, sort of Nancy Sinatra dueting with Andy Williams on Quaaludes.

Shoegazer Sunday: Dean & Britta’s “Nightnurse”
Sunday, November 2nd, 2014Shoegazer Sunday: Starfire Connective Sound’s “To Dream You Are Floating Drunk Among The Storm”
Sunday, October 26th, 2014I think that Starfire Connective Sound is the shoegaze/post-rock embodiment of Brazilian musician Al Schenkel. “To Dream You Are Floating Drunk Among The Storm” has a percussive edge that’s a bit closer to the post-rock end of things.
Shoegazer Sunday: La Hell Gang’s “So High”
Sunday, October 19th, 2014You don’t have to be a fan of drug-references to enjoy Chilian band La Hell Gang’s echoey, spaced-out “So High”.
They’re evidently on tour in the U.S. right now…
Shoegazer Sunday: The Stratford 4’s “Where The Ocean Meets The Eye”
Sunday, October 12th, 2014For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s The Stratford 4’s “Where The Ocean Meets The Eye,” which sounds a bit like The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Sleep”
Sunday, October 5th, 2014What? Another obscure Slowdive song? Really, Lawrence? Really?
Yep.
Evidently this was originally an Eternal song, Eternal being the band Christian Savill was in before Slowidve.

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Golden Hair” Live
Sunday, August 17th, 2014Since their reunion, Slowdive seems to be a vastly better touring band than they were in their heyday. I think it helps that they’ve brought on more touring musicians to fill out the sound. According to the band on Twitter, it’s just the original five members.
Here they are covering Syd Barrett’s “Golden Hair” (from that post-Pink Floyd recording session here he never played anything the same way twice). The Barrett original is some two minutes long, and the original cover Slowdive did was four minutes long. This version is eight minutes long, and ends with one of the most beautiful, multiguitar Shoegaze solos ever recorded. (No wonder that one woman in the audience looks like she’s having a religious experience…)
This was recorded at the Best Kept Secret festival in The Netherlands on Saturday, June 21, 2014.
