Pretty Sad is a UK/Denmark band that collaborates via Garageband and Dropbox. They have a pleasingly peppy retro sound not unlike that of Black Tambourine. For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s “Swim” off their first EP.

Sunday, November 30th, 2014For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s The Sleepover Disaster’s “Songwriting for Dummies.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Great Northern’s “Numbers”
Sunday, November 23rd, 2014Great Northern seems to be a duo that ends up sounding an awful lot like Curve, with some SPC ECO, Low, Garbage and Sarah McLaughlin thrown in for good measure, especially for vocalist Rachel Stolte. “Numbers” is pretty addictive.
Shoegazer Sunday: Last Leaf Down’s “The Theme”

Shoegazer Sunday: Starfire Connective Sound’s “To Dream You Are Floating Drunk Among The Storm”

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.
