expect delay
Videos, live performances, documentaries. Moving pictures. Talkies.
Self-described “Tokyo Neo Gazer” outfit The Floatings were supposed to be releasing their debut full-length Flowering today, but last week announced that “Due to production circumstances, the release of our 1st Album “Flowering” will be postponed” to a date TBA. This was disappointing as the band had done quite a good job of building anticipation […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The day the Next Music From Toyko lineup is announced is kind of like Christmas for me… at least since I started attending last year. So yeah, not that long, but considering that the traveling mini-festival is the only way I’ll get to see any of Japan’s indie rock scene live short of flying over […]
So I haven’t done one of these “Iterations” posts since last Summer because, well, they can take a lot of time and my list of songs that have enough interesting versions to share has been shrinking. But New Order are one of those reliable acts with a slew of iconic songs that have been performed […]
John McGeoch’s career is pretty well-documented at this point – any resume with Magazine, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Visage, and Public Image Limited certainly has its own luminosity – but one chapter that frequently gets overlooked is as a founding member of short-lived ’80s supergroup The Armoury Show. Okay, “supergroup” might be overstating it, but […]
It has been two and a half years since Tokyo’s Kurayamisaka released their debut mini-album Kimi Wo Omotte Iru and in that time, the buzz around them has grown pretty substantially, such that even international media like NME has taken notice. You might think that this attention would prompt them to make physical copies of […]
Someone on r/shoegaze asked this week, “What happened to Dirty On Purpose?” which, of course, opened some serious nostalgia floodgates. I’d actually intended to do a post on the dearly departed Brooklyn shoegazers but that just done got moved up some. I’ll be digging up some old pics for an IG post soon, too. Dirty […]
