Shoegazer Sunday: Echodrone’s “Time”

Sunday, January 27th, 2013

Here’s Echodrone’s cover of The Alan Parsons’ Project’s “Time” from their Mixtape for Duckie covers album. The video has less than a hundred views as I type this, so I’m happy to showcase something that actually qualifies as new! Most cover albums do nothing for me, even by artists I really like (see also: Scratch My Back and Strange Little Girls), but everything I’ve heard from this I liked so much, I just went ahead and bought it

See how long it takes you to figure out what the video is about, something I twigged to very early, and which ties into themes explored in their previous videos.

Another dose of Hypomanie to end another long week.

Shoegazer Sunday: Hypomanie’s “If Only The Seas Were Merciful”

Sunday, January 6th, 2013

Here’s Hypomanie’s “If Only The Seas Were Merciful,” a remarkably pleasant piece considering they were formerly a Black Metal band!

This is from their amusingly titled album Calm Down, You Weren’t Set on Fire.

Shoegazer Sunday: Lemon’s Chair’s “What You Want”

Sunday, December 30th, 2012

For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Japan’s Lemon’s Chair covering My Bloody Valentine’s “What You Want.” I actually prefer it to the original, mainly because the tonalities are more pleasing to my ear.

This is evidently off a Japanese compilation of My Bloody Valentine covers called Yellow Loveless.

Shoegazer Sunday: Echodrone’s “Cold Snap”

Sunday, December 16th, 2012

Busy week. Here’s more Echodrone, this time with “Cold Snap,” which is pleasantly haunting.

Their Bon Voyage is starting to sound like a good candidate for Shoegazer album of the year. Any others you can suggest?

Shoegazer Sunday: …And the Earth Swarmed With Them’s “Everyone Will Fade”

Sunday, December 9th, 2012

Here’s …And the Earth Swarmed With Them‘s atmospheric, goth-y “Everyone Will Fade,” off their album The Fading Voice Of The Old Era Speaks To Us, But Where Are The Ears Left To Hear It?, which does suggest a certain sensibility…

Shoegazer Sunday: Tears Run Rings’ “Waiting for the End”

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

Here’s Tears Run Rings, a shoegazer band from America’s west coast, with their very Slowdive-esque “Waiting for the End.”

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Losing Today”

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

Were it not for Slowdive’s Just for a Day, I wouldn’t being doing these Shoegazer Sunday posts in the first place. Poking around YouTube, there seems to be a lot more Slowdive songs that never made it onto their three studio albums than I realized. “Losing Today,” a sad, echoey, moody piece perfect for teenage girls to mope around to on cold, rainy days, is off their Blue Day compilation album.
