I've been obsessed with Shoegaze for years and this is a playlist I made of classics mixed with some contemporary/lesser known jams. Worth a listen


Digging the play list, thank you!

muffMan.Is sweet trip shoegaze?

I just searched on Spotify and already had a mix for it. boutta dive deep into it


parts of songs from v:d:c are, definitely wouldn't call them a shoegaze band but v:d:c has some of my favorite shoegaze riffs. the album after is way more pop and the most recent one is like more psychedelica stuff. haven't got through all the unreleased tracks yet cause it's like 3 hours long but there is some real gems in there too (like route of escape). fuck roberto though.

forgot to mention Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time by Candy Claws. that album is so sick.

by the way, Shoegaze is pronounced like Fugazi

perhaps not technically shoegaze but bowery electric with their lush, wall-of-sound and distortion- soundscapes should adhere to similar tastes
i made a playlist in that same realm som while ago, for those of you who are on spotify https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Sju9zEnZS305NLo8ALqvM?si=4cf03dbe3b704d38

Love me some Sweet Trip and Magdalena Bay but I can't say I'm more than a casual fan. Always perplexed when people call like proper electronic artists "shoegaze" though lmao. Both of Porter's studio albums are listed as such and it's so weird

loved nurture didn't know people called it shoegaze. it's got that wall of sound quality but nothing reminiscent of shoegaze.

also new parannoul album came out and it's a good listen.

The referenced post has been removed.

Nurture is peak music on god. I guess I can kinda see how like Look at the Sky and Sweet Time are shoegaze adjacent? But that's not really enough to classify it as such. And if they're in the ball park, everything in Worlds is over on the slopestyle course lmao

love this song. Used it in the grouse WTRP video. I found out later that it's also been used in Welcome's Seance.

ankI don't think loveless can be topped
it's like top 3 album of all time for me and soon is the greatest song Ive ever heard, it sounds like an happy ending to an emotional and overwhelming dream


I was playing the album on my walk home from class today and had an epiphany about that song cus I’ve never really put the time into listening to the entire album and holy fuck is that shit magical. Feels exactly like what you described.

just bought a boss ps2 from japan which is the same pedal slowdive used on souvlaki space station. seems like pitch shifter leads are becoming a little bit of a trend in the newest shoegaze coming out *possibly* because of blue smiley. otherwise it’s nice being able to pay a reasonable price for a supposedly rare vintage pitch shifter/delay that is so unique and versatile.




also i find it sad but funny that literally nobody uses the boss mega distortion when it’s got such a thick unique sound to it compared to most popular distortions.
