Shoegazer Sunday: Dead Leaf Echo’s “Lemonheart”

Sunday, December 15th, 2024

Been a good long while since we did a Dead Leaf Echo song, so here’s “Lemonheart,” featuring a thoroughly silly video that talks a macabre (but still silly) turn.

Yeah, that’s no little girl…

Shoegazer Sunday: Echodrone’s “The Point of Singularity”

Sunday, November 24th, 2024

Echodrone is a shoegaze band, but “The Point of Singularity” off their new album The Curvature of Sound is more of a soaring, Apollo-era Brian Eno-esque ambient piece.

Whatever it is, it’s quite pretty…

Shoegazer Sunday: Roy Montgomery’s “Slow Heroes”

Roy Montgomery is Christchurch, New Zealand guitarist, and “Slow Heroes” is a beautiful, steady-state sort of instrumental shoegaze with a repeated musical motif.

Sunday, August 25th, 2024

Been a while since I featured SPC ECO here, so enjoy “Ray of Sun” off The Art of Pop. With the lack of guitar this may be more possibly classified as dreampop.

Not bad, and she’s easy on the eyes…

Sunday, March 3rd, 2024

SVIIB is School of Seven Bells’ last album, compiled from the tracks laid down by Benjamin Curtis before he died and completed by vocalist Alejandra Deheza. Here’s opening track “Ablaze,” which is pretty groovetastic.

Mojo Nixon, RIP

Thursday, February 8th, 2024

Psychobilly musician Mojo Nixon died yesterday at 66. “A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right… & that’s just how he did it, Mojo has left the building.”

Been a while since I put up a Shoegazer Sunday post, so here’s a live version of “Catch the Breeze” from Slowdive’s 1/21/24 shoe in Copenhagen.

Vocals aren’t great, but the rest of the sound is pretty good.
