Hyperlilly evidently hale from Cologne, Germany. Not a fan of the video (static band shots + mild psych color filters), but the song reminds me of Auburn Lull crossed with a bit of M83.

Sunday, June 11th, 2023George Winston, RIP
Thursday, June 8th, 2023Pianist George Winston died at age 74. December is a great Christmas album for people that hate Christmas albums. Here’s “The Holly and the Ivy.”

Shoegazer Sunday: Kinoko Teikoku’s Musician
Sunday, June 4th, 2023Been a while since we did some Japanese Shoegaze, so here’s Kinoko Teikoku’s “Musician”:
It sounds a bit like Asobi Seksu crossed with Lemon’s Chair. It takes about 30 seconds to get beyond the initial noisy buzz.
Kinoko Teikoku evidently means “Mushroom Empire,” and they “suspended activity” in 2019.
Shoegazer Sunday: The Underground Youth’s “Underground”
Sunday, May 21st, 2023UK-born, Berlin-resident The Underground Youth get labeled as post-punk, but echo-and-reverb drenched “Underground” seems pretty shoegazey to me, and a bit like Civic’s “Innocent.”
This is off their album Mademoiselle, which is available through iTunes.
Shoegazer Sunday: Ozean’s “Scenic”
Sunday, April 9th, 2023Ozean’s “Scenic” was featured as part of a three song set quite a while back, but here it is on it’s own, accompanied by (mostly) quite beautiful AI-generated art.
Basically, AI generated art is now better than 95% of all self-published trade paperback art.
Shoegazer Sunday: Glixen’s “Moodswing”
Sunday, April 2nd, 2023Glixen evidently hales from Phoenix, and that’s about all I know about them. Except the fact that they make some tasty, fuzzy noise.
Shoegazer Sunday: Chromatics Cover of “Petals”
Sunday, March 26th, 2023A few weeks ago, I heard a more modern song whose melodic structure really reminded me of Hole’s “Petals,” which meant it’s been running through my head a lot recently. And then I found out that The Chromatics had covered it for a movie soundtrack.
It’s not exactly Shoegaze, but I think it might qualify as Dreampop.
One problem though: It’s only half the song. Here’s the original:
Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame wrote the music, but I think Courtney Love wrote the lyrics. Despite her well-documented personal problems, she was occasionally a very good lyricist, back in the day.
Shoegazer Sunday: Beach House’s “Space Song”
Sunday, January 8th, 2023It’s been a while since I did one of these, and more than seven years since I did a Beach House song, so here’s “Space Song,” featuring footage of a science fiction film I bet you’re familiar with.
Halloween Horrors: Welcome To AI Hell
Friday, October 14th, 2022Man tells an AI to generate visions of Hell. Here are the results:
Of course, AI Hell is different from Robot Hell. For one thing, there’s less singing:
