Whitelands – “Heat Of The Summer”

Just in time for the solstice, London shoegazers Whitelands have welcomed the Summer with their first new music since last year’s Night-Bound Eyes Are Blind To The Sky, available to stream or as a limited edition flexi-disc. Musically, it’s a short, jaunty – almost buoyant – tune suited to the season, and the production is […]

Fazerdaze – “Motorway”

Barely a half year on from the release of her second album Soft Power, Amelia Murray – aka Fazerdaze – is already rolling out new music; quite a change from the years of silence following her first record, Morningside. The new song is “Motorway”, comes with a suitably vibey and grainy video, and she describes […]

deary – “I Still Think About You”

Aside from a live track and a couple of remixes, London’s deary have been relatively quiet on the release front through 2025 so far. Sure, their second EP Aurelia only came out last November, but they were releasing preview tracks from it throughout the Summer starting in June… so I guess this means they’re actually […]

Trespassers William – “Lie In The Sound” @ Cafe De La Danse, Paris – April 2004

Pretty much no one described themselves as shoegaze in the early 2000s, so fans looking for their hazy, reverberated music fix had to look for more subtle hints as to like-minded souls… like including gorgeous Ride covers on your albums. That’s how I found California-then-Seattle’s Trespassers William, built around the duo of Anna-Lynne Williams and […]

Sugar For The Pill – “Cherry Blossom”

Athenian shoegazers Sugar For The Pill will drop their second full-length Luv next Friday, and last week they offered up their third preview of the record with the soaring “Cherry Blossom” and corresponding, architecturally-inspired video. Said the band of the song and visuals: This song explores that tender instant when something ends, yet a new […]

She’s Green – “Figurines”

You might say that Minneapolis’ She’s Green are having a pretty good 2025. They just wrapped one North American tour supporting Glixen and will set out on another with Softcult next month, and are certainly making the most of their Canadian work visas. That’s a lot of road time for a band whose only release […]

Clinic Stars – “Only Hinting”

It figures that a band that create as delicate, fragile, and internal-sounding dreampop as Detroit’s Clinic Stars don’t have a tremendous online presence – a Bandcamp, an Instagram, and a couple of shaky fan-shot live videos – but when they’ve already given us a record as beautiful as their 2024 full-length debut Only Hinting, asking […]
