Shoegazer Sunday: Hypomanie’s “A City in Stereo”
Sunday, January 13th, 2013Shoegazer Sunday: Hypomanie’s “If Only The Seas Were Merciful”
Sunday, January 6th, 2013Here’s Hypomanie’s “If Only The Seas Were Merciful,” a remarkably pleasant piece considering they were formerly a Black Metal band!
This is from their amusingly titled album Calm Down, You Weren’t Set on Fire.
Shoegazer Sunday: Lemon’s Chair’s “What You Want”
Sunday, December 30th, 2012For your Sunday dose of Shoegaze, here’s Japan’s Lemon’s Chair covering My Bloody Valentine’s “What You Want.” I actually prefer it to the original, mainly because the tonalities are more pleasing to my ear.
This is evidently off a Japanese compilation of My Bloody Valentine covers called Yellow Loveless.
Shoegazer Sunday: Ride’s “Beneath”
Sunday, December 23rd, 2012Here’s “Beneath,” a nice, melodic song from classic shoegazers Ride:
Shoegazer Sunday: Echodrone’s “Cold Snap”
Sunday, December 16th, 2012Busy week. Here’s more Echodrone, this time with “Cold Snap,” which is pleasantly haunting.
Their Bon Voyage is starting to sound like a good candidate for Shoegazer album of the year. Any others you can suggest?
Shoegazer Sunday: …And the Earth Swarmed With Them’s “Everyone Will Fade”
Sunday, December 9th, 2012Here’s …And the Earth Swarmed With Them‘s atmospheric, goth-y “Everyone Will Fade,” off their album The Fading Voice Of The Old Era Speaks To Us, But Where Are The Ears Left To Hear It?, which does suggest a certain sensibility…
Shoegazer Sunday: Tears Run Rings’ “Waiting for the End”
Sunday, December 2nd, 2012Here’s Tears Run Rings, a shoegazer band from America’s west coast, with their very Slowdive-esque “Waiting for the End.”
Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Losing Today”
Sunday, November 25th, 2012Were it not for Slowdive’s Just for a Day, I wouldn’t being doing these Shoegazer Sunday posts in the first place. Poking around YouTube, there seems to be a lot more Slowdive songs that never made it onto their three studio albums than I realized. “Losing Today,” a sad, echoey, moody piece perfect for teenage girls to mope around to on cold, rainy days, is off their Blue Day compilation album.
Shoegazer Sunday: The Emerald Down’s “Sometime the Sun Shines”
Sunday, November 18th, 2012Here’s The Emerald Down’s “Sometime the Sun Shines” off their Aquarium album. It starts out sounding a bit like Nirvana’s “All Apologies” (no bad thing), but then shifts more firmly into Shoegaze territory.
“Why Doesn’t MTV Play Music Videos Any More?”
