Sunday, August 25th, 2013Shoegazer Sunday: 93MillionMilesFromTheSun’s “Waiting There”
Sunday, August 18th, 2013Here’s UK nugaze band 93MillionMilesFromTheSun (yes, they jam the letters all up together like that; probably works well for Twitter) with “Waiting There.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Highspire’s “Glacier”
Sunday, August 11th, 2013After meaning to for a while, I finally picked up Highspire’s Aquatic, which is definitely a strong Shoegaze album. Here’s “Glacier,” my favorite track off it.
Shoegazer Sunday: Alcian Blue’s “Carousel”
Sunday, August 4th, 2013Better late than never, here’s the now-defunct Alcian Blue with “Carousel”:
Shoegazer Sunday: Belle and Sebastian’s “Sleep Around the Clock”
Sunday, July 28th, 2013Here’s another “Is it Shoegaze or not” entry, with Belle and Sebastian’s “Sleep Around the Clock,” which is more bouncy retro low-fi pop, but there’s enough of a shoegaze tinge to it (a little like Black Tambourine) that I’m throwing it in here.
Plus I like the sciency theme of the video. So there.
Shoegaze Sunday: Alcest’s “Beings of Light”
Sunday, July 21st, 2013I can’t decide whether Alcest is Shoegaze, Depressive Metal, or some offshoot of the RenFaire school of ProgRock (more long-forgotten French prog band Manticore than Jethro Tull). Here’s “Beings of Light,” which features a female lead singer rather the usual metal “screaming with a mouthful of gravel” that seems to have become standard in the genre, which they do on some of their other songs.
Whatever it is, it’s interesting enough to be worth a listen.
Shoegazer Sunday: The Meeting Places’ “Now I Know You Could Never Be The One”
Sunday, July 14th, 2013The Meetings Places are a California shoegaze band that include former member’s of Alison’s Halo (a fine pedigree). Here’s the pleasant, ethereal “Now I Know You Could Never Be The One,” which sounds a bit like some of Slowdive’s pre-Just for a Day material.
Shoegazer Sunday: School of Seven Bells’ “My Cabal”
Sunday, July 7th, 2013School of Seven Bells are a band from New York City named after the mythical pickpocket school. They started out as a trio and are now down to a duo. “My Cabal” was evidently their first single, and is a pleasant, dreampop-y sort of number.
Shoegazer Sunday: Blind Mr. Jones’ “Mesa”
Sunday, June 30th, 2013Blind Mr. Jones was a UK Shoegazer band from the early 1990s. “Mesa” is from their second and last album, Tatooine. Since they broke up right after it’s release, presumably they were not the shoegaze droids the public was looking for…
Shiegazer Sunday: The High Violets’ “X-Tasy Monopoly”
Sunday, June 23rd, 2013The High Violets hail from Portland, Oregon. Here’s “X-Tasy Monopoly,” where the lead sunger sounds a bit like a Red Dirt Girl-era Emmylou Harris, which is no bad thing.
