If there’s a trend in Japanese shoegaze, it’s that the bands and records that are most hallowed are inevitably the ones that dropped one record a decade or more ago that everyone name-checks and adores, then disappeared off the face of the earth. Okay, this is probably quantifiably not true but is most definitely the […]
I’ve been meaning to represent Jay Som on these pages since I started up, but just hadn’t gotten around to it – kind of like how I like all of her records, but just haven’t gotten around to adding any of their physical copies to my collection because, well, I dunno. So with news that […]
As mentioned in today’s mothership ‘gram, Gang Of Four wrapped up their “Long Goodbye” tour this past weekend in Amsterdam, closing the book for good on the legendary post-punk band in all it’s incarnations. At the end of things was original singer Jon King and drummer Hugo Burnham, along with all-star ringers Gail Greenwood and […]
You’ve no idea my excitement when I saw the announcement of a new Blood Orange single a few weeks ago. Not just because I’m a fan – while Dev Hynes doesn’t really fall under the remit of this site, I’ve been a fan since his Lightspeed Champion days – but because listed at the top […]
Yuragi were kind of one-and-done with music videos for their latest album All Your Languages when they released the album-length mini-feature film for it back in January, but six months on, they’ve got some fresh content for your eyeballs in the form of a couple of beautifully-shot live clips from the their release show at […]
Part of the whole Chameleons narrative is that they’re criminally underrated and unappreciated, even though the other part of the narrative is that they’re hugely influential. You can debate how both things can be true, but one think that is quantitatively true is that for a hugely influential band, they are not covered very much […]
Every now and again, I’ll be reminded how much I loved Mojave 3 – as much as Slowdive, probably – and while this particular episode probably won’t be a full deep dive rabbit hole, it has yielded a video from 2000’s Excuses For Travelers that I’ve never seen. It’s studio footage interspersed with handycam footage […]
Italo-gazers Glazyhaze released their second album Sonic back in March, and it’s been collecting accolades ever since, including a top-20 spot on Stereogum’s 50 best albums of the half-year. Those looking for physical copies of the record probably know that the self-released limited edition of the album has long been sold out, but it appears […]
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 […]
Irish outfit Just Mustard exist in a liminal space between post-punk and shoegaze, and it’s a niche they’ve occupied well, create a uniquely abrasive atmosphere across two albums that, most recently, scored them a high profile slot opening for The Cure in South America in 2023. Those waiting for a follow up to 2022’s Heart […]
