Tamaryn (New York/LA/San Francisco by way of New Zealand) gets compared to Mazzy Star a lot, and you can hear that, but The Jesus and Mary Chain is another good point of comparison. Here’s “Love Fade”.

Shoegazer Sunday: Tamaryn’s “Love Fade”
Sunday, December 29th, 2013Shoegaze Sunday: Swell Cover of Slowdive’s “Machine Gun”
Sunday, December 22nd, 2013Here’s an ethereal electronica cover of Slowdive’s “Machine Gun” by (if I’m decrypting the credits correctly) “Dick Isreal and The Soothsayer with Neon Signal.” So a teamup of three musical entities I’ve never heard of.
I think Amy Archibald is The Soothsayer, and has a beautiful (albeit highly processed) voice on this song. I’m guessing the “Lightwave” of the video title is the theoretical genre this belongs to. Whatever it is it’s very pretty…
Shoegazer Sunday: Bailter Space’s “Robot World”
Sunday, December 15th, 2013Here’s New Zealand’s Baltier Space with the title track from their Robot World shoegaze album, which checks in on the crunchier side of classic shoegaze:
Shoegazer Sunday: Eluvium’s “Don’t Get Any Closer”
Sunday, December 8th, 2013I was in the mood for mellow, and Eluvium‘s “Don’t Get Any Closer” (which has a definite ambient film score tinge to it) fits the mellow bill.
Shoegazer Sunday: Golden Garden’s “Ghostwood”
Sunday, November 24th, 2013I was in the mood for something mellow, and Golden Garden‘s “Ghostwood” admirably fits the bill, even if the video comes in almost entirely on the cheap side of the “cheap but arty” continuum.
Lead singer Aubrey Rachel Violet Bramble (if in fact that’s a single person’s real name and not a real name + fake name combo) has the most obvious “little girl” voice this side of Alison Shaw of Cranes.
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowness’ “Walls of Blue”
Sunday, November 17th, 2013For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s San Francisco’s Slowness (who describe themselves as a “drone pop band”) with “Walls of Blue,” a steady-state song that sounds like an extended riff off the end of Pink Floyd’s “Time.”
Shoegazer Sunday: DIIV’s “Wait”
Sunday, November 10th, 2013For your Sunday doze of shoegaze, here’s New York’s DIIV with the NSFW-ish “Wait.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Black Tambourine’s “Throw Aggi Off The Bridge”
Sunday, October 27th, 2013For your Sunday dose of shoegaze, here’s Black Tambourine’s “Throw Aggi Off The Bridge.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Velveteen’s “Poster Boy”
Sunday, October 20th, 2013Velveteen is a band from Germany most famous (for certain values of “famous”) for having their album hoaxed as a Death Cab for Cutie album. (Disclaimer: I couldn’t recognize a Death Cab for Cutie song with a gun to my head.) Correction: The band wrote to note they’re the London Velveteen, not the German one. “Poster Boy” is another video whose theme is “War is bad and stuff.” Or alternately, “stock footage from the Vietnam is pretty cheap.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Ride’s “OX4”
Sunday, October 13th, 2013Here’s another dose of classic UK Shoegaze band Ride with “OX4.” Hard to understand how this never charted, as it has a perfect, catchy pop melody underpinning it.
It reminds me a little of Brain Eno’s early solo work…
