#ShoegazeSunday
new music from a new band, Germany's Virginia Planes with 'Grounded'
dreampop vibes but more distortion, i'll be keeping an eye on them
#ShoegazeSunday
heading to Sweden next, it's Westkust with 'Daylight'
they have that combination of melody and noise I can't get enough of
#ShoegazeSunday
going obscure with this one, it's Newmoon with their huge, spacious number 'Skin'
#ShoegazeSunday
up next, Deafcult with their melancholic wave of noise 'Lemonade Beauty'
#ShoegazeSunday
Moon in June has a new one out, 'Slowdive'
they're more dreampop than my unusual tastes but I really like this one
#ShoegazeSunday
more blazing live Japanese shoegaze, it's Kinoko Teikoku with 'Shissou'
#ShoegazeSunday
onward to Japan, with a high impact live performance of 'Milkshake' by For Tracy Hyde
they're often too mannered for me in the studio, but live? that's another story
#ShoegazeSunday
staying in Mexico with Lorelle Meets the Obsolete, an interesting electronics-first act that uses guitar as a supporting player, really good stuff
on to Mexico, with Mint Field's phenomenal 'Quiero OtoƱo De Nuevo'
#ShoegazeSunday
Keeping the international flavor with Russia's Pinkshinyultrablast with their sonic journey Land's End
#ShoegazeSunday
up next, Chile's contribution to the shoegaze scene Trementina with one of many bangers off their first LP, 'Beside'

next up, NYC's own Bowery Electric with 'Let Me Down'
Rare American first wave shogaze, this band rips
Hum is iconic not only for recording genre highpoint 'Stars' in the 90s, but returning after a decade plus hiatus to drop an oceanically powerful album with multiple songs equaling the very best from their prime
and, that's enough gauzy feelgood dreampop for now, let's move on to Tennis System, with their slab of overwhelming noise the aptly titled 'Crushing'
Double dipping with this Ulrich Schnauss remix of a Televise track- I usually don't like remixes but this one is a big improvement, gj Ulrich!
#ShoegazeSunday
next we're going back in time to the Golden Age w one of the first shoegaze acts I found, Ultra Vivid Scene with 'Mercy Seat'
#ShoegazeSunday
Ride guitarist Andy Bell recorded a really good solo LP, off which this is my favorite song- that ultra rare drop, a shoegaze love song
Blankenberge again with 'So High'
I underrated them bc they lack That One Song that takes you to a realm beyond space and time and leave you gasping and disoriented, but honestly they are the perfect fusion of honey and static, and have never recorded a bad tune
