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…

Sunday, November 24th, 2024Shoegazer Sunday: Roy Montgomery’s “Slow Heroes”
Sunday, September 29th, 2024Roy Montgomery is Christchurch, New Zealand guitarist, and “Slow Heroes” is a beautiful, steady-state sort of instrumental shoegaze with a repeated musical motif.
Shoegazer Sunday: SPC ECO’s “Ray of Sun”
Sunday, August 25th, 2024Been 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.

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Richard”
Sunday, April 14th, 2024Yet another in a seemingly endless string of unreleased Slowdive tracks. This one has a twangy, downbeat feel reminiscent of Mazzy Star.

Shoegazer Sunday: Great Northern’s “Radio”
Sunday, October 22nd, 2023My relationship to Great Northern is weird. I liked what I heard off Remind Me Where The Light Is enough to buy it, listened to it a lot for a while, and then just…stopped. I can’t even explain why I stopped. It’s a mystery, like the waning of a pestilence. That album is superbly crafted Shoegaze-tinged pop that sounds bit like Tamaryn.
“Radio,” an earlier effort off Sleepy Eepee, is a different sort of beast, like Mazzy Starr crossed with some buzzy low-fi band. Singer Rachel Stolte has a compelling voice.
Despite not listening to them for years, YouTube occasionally offers them up in my feed. A good thing, too.
They evidently toured with Smashing Pumpkins this year, and are supposedly working on a new album.
