#ShoegazeSaturday

here's the song that turned me on to them, a spacy jam that just gets crazier the longer it goes

folks I'm celebrating Jort's resurrection with an expanded #ShoegazeSaturday!

first up, the best 'new to me' band I've found in a minute, Mexico's ACTY with the furious banger 'Ataque de Pánico', just a pedal to the metal assault from the first note to the last

https://youtu.be/pII1Z4XuPfY?si=2a6V7U_2lVU8Czwa

today is a very special #ShoegazeSaturday

longtime followers may know I consider 2016's 'Whenere' from China's Forsaken Autumn the most perfect shoegaze album not named 'Loveless'.

It was their lone release and I feared they another international group who drop one phenomenal banger then disappear

UNTIL TODAY
NEW SINGLE FROM FORSAKEN AUTUMN
AND IT FUCKING WHIPS

One nice thing about online is, I can discover a Korean shoegaze band in the morning, hear a song that blows my mind and inside of 5 minutes find an absolutely blistering live performance

Desert Flower, 'Time Traveler'
https://youtu.be/mMmggGnx720

#ShoegazeSaturday marching on with Fauns doing 'Cool Stuff'
They're on the dreampop end of the spectrum, a shoegaze act w appeal to a wider range of listener

https://youtu.be/TWF3JkLTzWE

#ShoegazeSaturday
Next up, one of my very favorite groups Blankenberge with 'Dissappear'
They consistently blend a sweet pop sensibility with noise better than anyone

https://youtu.be/IhXK2U_4kkw

folks buckle up bc it's #ShoegazeSaturday again!

kicking off with my probably my favorite type of song, the dreamy pop prelude that kicks in hard for the final stretch- it's 'Dream Merchants' by Blushing

https://youtu.be/RiphX0tSMN4

Stargazer Lilies are a psych rock group that verges into shoegaze fairly regularly, and this is the perfect expression of that impulse, just absolute fire on ever level and one I always have to max the volume on
#ShoegazeSaturday

https://youtu.be/AQXSVhJiul8

this is the song that cemented my love for shoegaze as a genre- the Verve, 'Slide Away'

'Storm in Heaven' is an all time great album
#ShoegazeSaturday

https://youtu.be/X45hWP_QKt0

let's do a live performance, from Russia's Blankenberge which is solidly in my shoegaze top 5 rn

they embody the perfect fusion of dreamy, ethereal waves of sound and gritty, distorted noise, as this pair of tracks neatly demonstrates
