Having spent the time since the release of their debut album 27℃ last Summer touring, touring, and more touring (all in Asia of course), Hammer Head Shark have finally taken the time to release their first new music of 2026. 『ぼくらふたりきり』dropped as a single back in June, almost a year to the day from aforementioned […]
Toronto’s Otsyuda have been making a name for themselves both as one of the city’s promising new shoegaze/dreampop acts and as an international supergroup of sorts – their collective resume including Russia’s Blankenberge, Colombia’s Encarta 98 and TALES, and Canada’s Group Therapy. Following a couple of singles last year, the band have readied their debut […]
After following every pre-release milestone that deary set leading up to the release of their debut full-length album Birding back in April, I’ve not checked back in because following a Spring UK/Europe tour to promote the record, they’ve kept a relatively quiet Summer, prepping for another round of continental touring this Fall. But, in that […]
I haven’t done a Cure post in a while, nor an Iterations, so let’s do both! “Boys Don’t Cry” was released as a single in 1979 but, as was the custom at the time, did not appear on the band’s debut album Three Imaginary Boys on its initial release. For the band’s introduction to the […]
Proving the dog days of Summer are a global phenomenon, Kurayamisaka released a new two-song single in『Summer Film』last week, followed by a video for the A-side today. In it, we see the band performing on the beach while a girl ditches work as an automotive mechanic to go enjoy the Japanese countryside with a girlfriend. […]
With the whole “BrooklynVegan presents” part of their upcoming tour seemingly unaffected by the whole “BrooklynVegan gutted” news cycle last week, Swervedriver are set to perform “Raise at 35″ starting in a week and a half and are offering a new (old) release to go with it in the form of raise:demos, a collection of […]
A quick one to take you into the weekend. Tokyo Shoegazer have released a second video clip from Remains, and like the video for『Missing』, it’s a pretty straight performance clip of a banger of a song given a distinct visual aesthetic by trading the multiple exposure camera techniques for high-key lighting. Short and sweet.
You may recall I said I was almost done with the Mojave 3 content, coinciding with the release of their reissues a couple weeks ago, and that’s because in the process of putting together my preceding posts, I found this set which I think warrants its own article. In my IG post from a few […]
A large part of Cephalo’s ascent in the ranks of Japanese shoegaze was the rate at which they released material, starting with their debut EP Wind Surfing School in mid-2024 and the full-length Fluorite Code at the end of that year. They followed it up with the Gloaming Point EP last November accompanied by a […]
The album cycle for DIIV’s fourth album, 2024’s Frog In Boiling Water, kicked off with the viral soul-net.co infinite website/single in Fall 2023, while they were touring with Depeche Mode and carried on through 2025 before wrapping with the release of a live document of the album – Boiled Alive – which came out in […]
