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…

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…
Roy Montgomery is Christchurch, New Zealand guitarist, and “Slow Heroes” is a beautiful, steady-state sort of instrumental shoegaze with a repeated musical motif.
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.
In honor of tonight’s Slowdive concert in Austin, here’s a live version of “The Slab” from earlier in their tour:
Yet another in a seemingly endless string of unreleased Slowdive tracks. This one has a twangy, downbeat feel reminiscent of Mazzy Star.
Here’s UK performer Hollie Blue covering Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You.”
Not bad, and she’s easy on the eyes…
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.
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.”
I saw him live a couple of times at SXSW, once with Jello Biafra in support of Prairie Home Invasion. “Mojo, why do you play SXSW? Ain’t no major label ever gonna sign you!”
Here’s a few tracks for the memories.
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.
