Halloween Horrors: “Remains of the Day”

Saturday, October 28th, 2017

I always thought this musical number from Corpse Bride was pretty cool, and I still do. It also has more than enough dancing skeletons for Halloween:

Shoegazer Sunday: The Denzels “Self-Talk”

Sunday, October 8th, 2017

For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s The Denzels “Self-Talk”. They sound a bit like classic-era Jesus and Mary Chain, with maybe a bit of early U2 thrown in.

Shoegazer Sunday: Secret Shine’s “Falling Again”

Sunday, August 20th, 2017

Since Saint Marie records is releasing Secret Shine’s Singles 1992-1994, I thought it would be a good time to throw up some of their work, so here’s “Falling Again.”

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive performing “No Longer Making Time” live on KCRW

Sunday, July 23rd, 2017

Yeah, another live Slowdive song. I’ve been busy with a new dog, so I haven’t had a chance to go trawling for new shoegaze bands.

Hat tip to Andrew Wimsatt for alerting me to this.

Shoegazer Sunday: Linda Guilala’s “Uroboros”

Sunday, July 16th, 2017

I liked last week’s Linda Guilala track so much I bought the album, so this week’s track is “Uroboros,” which is also off Psiconáutica.

Shoegazer Sunday: Linda Guilala “Monstruo”

Sunday, July 9th, 2017

Here’s Spain’s Linda Guilala (a band, not a woman) with “Monstruo” off their album Psiconáutica, which I might have to pick up, as the tracks strike me as a tasty mix of Shoegaze, classic analog synth and just a dash of 8-bit.

(Hat tip: Sounds Better With Reverb, which seems to have stopped updating after the end of 2016.)

Shoegazer Sunday: De Montevert “Its alright I’m probably dreaming”

Sunday, July 2nd, 2017

This is more Dreampop than Shoegaze, but it’s pretty, so here it is.

I’m guessing De Montevert hails from Sweden, based on email addresses and umlauts.

Shoegazer Sunday: Pie Are Squared’s “36 Degrees on a Saturday”

Sunday, June 25th, 2017

To be honest, this isn’t so much a Shoegaze band as a single guitarist showing how to do shoegaze and performing all the parts himself via mixing, loops and digital Frippitronics.

Shoegazer Sunday: The Octopus Project’s “Sharpteeth”

Sunday, June 18th, 2017

How did I miss The Octopus Project until now? You would think an Austin band with a female theremin player would be right up my alley…

Shoegazer Sunday: Yellow Fang’s “Selfish”

Sunday, June 4th, 2017

Been a while since we did some Asian Shoegaze, so here’s Thailand’s Yellow Fang with “Selfish.”
