This is as close as I could find to a Shoegazer song appropriate to Halloween week.
I’m assuming the name of the band refers to their haircuts…

Sunday Shoegazer: Air Formation’s “Low December Sun”
Sunday, October 18th, 2015Here’s Air Formation’s “Low December Sun.” I should probably save this for December, but I’m obviously an impatient sort…
Shoegazer Sunday: Beach House’s “Wishes”
Sunday, October 11th, 2015Since this wonderfully choreographed and delightfully weird video for Beach House‘s “Wishes” (off their album Bloom) already has close to 2 million views, it looks like I might be a little late to this party.

Live Lost Genesis Song “The Light”
Monday, October 5th, 2015There was a time many years ago when I fanatically collected Genesis bootlegs, but this early gem never showed up on any of them. “The Light” was reportedly a staple of the band’s live shows circa 1970-1971, but they evidently never recorded a studio version of it. Small parts of the music were later incorporated into “Lilywhite Lilith” and “The Colony of Slippermen” from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
This 1971 recording from La Ferme in Woluwe-St Lambert, Belgium, is the only known recording of the song anywhere, ever….
Shoegazer Sunday: Winter’s “Crazy”
Sunday, October 4th, 2015Winter’s “Crazy” (off their Supreme Blue Dream album) is sort of Shoegaze crossed with catchy bubblegum pop, and a vaguely disturbing video perfect for the Halloween season…
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “I Believe”
Sunday, September 27th, 2015Yep, another Slowdive rarity…
Shoegazer Sunday: Mvnich’s “Magnicide”
Sunday, September 20th, 2015I think Mvnich, despite having a name some render as “Munich,” hail from Spain. Other than that, I have very little information on them. Here’s “Magnicide.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Soft Blonde’s “Walk Under Lightning Strokes”
Sunday, September 13th, 2015Soft Blonde is on the Mazzy Star-twangy end of Shoegaze, with a few dashes of prog rock thrown in for good measure. Here’s “Walk Under Lightning Strokes” off their No Good Trying EP.

Shoegazer Sunday: Tuath’s “Ag dúnmharú an timpeallacht” Live
Sunday, September 6th, 2015Though you can’t tell from the video description, this is Ireland’s Tuath performing “Ag dúnmharú an timpeallacht” live. It’s a straightforward guitar-drive instrumental piece. (I only know the name of the song by tracking down their bandcamp page for the album it came from.)

For Shoegazer Sunday, How About An Entire Slowdive Concert?
Sunday, August 30th, 2015Here’s an entire hour-long Slowdive concert that took place less than two weeks ago at the Paredes de Coura festival in Portugal. Evidently this went out on Portuguese radio (in mono), and includes nice versions of “Catch the Breeze” and “Machine Gun.”
And just as soon as Slowdive puts out a live album from the current tour I’ll be in full “shut up and take my money” mode…
