Shoegazin'



Space/Love/Robots are from Tallahassee, Florida and give us fuzzy, reverbed filled melodies, just the way I like my Shoegaze.

mp3 Space Girl Love Burst


The Place Promised Beyond The Clouds is also from Tallahassee and is a project of one creating textural Shoegaze goodness via guitar and effect boxes. Pretty trippy stuff for a band of one.

mp3 Cold Air


The Snowdonnas are from Ft. Worth Texas and this is not the first time I have posted their music. In fact I have been digging their debut "Over Now" for quite awhile now and remember picking that one up when I lived in Dallas, Texas.
"Always Wanted To Fly" is a new track that will be featured on their second release (Northern Star Records), check it!

Plumerai are from Boston, Mass. and even though they may not qualify as a 'pure' Shoegaze band they definitely are influenced by the shoegaze sound. Their debut EP "Res Cogitans" is tightly wound music complemented by Elizabeth Ezell's wonderful vocals. Emotionally beautiful music.

Heroes Of Switzerland are from Nottingham, England and they mix classic rock riffs with layered Shoegaze goodness. Dense waves of guitars, and a robust rhythm section carry these songs through with strong energy.

Glider are from Santa Ana, California and they create Shoegaze soundscapes for your dreams. This is beautiful ethereal music, well orchestrated and one that invades the inner workings of your minds eye.

mp3 Can You See Them?

Austin's She Sir rank as one of my favorites of all the new Shoegaze bands out there. M. Grusha and Russell Karloff know how to create beautiful melodies through waves of layered guitars and ethereal vocals. Meticulous and drawn from the eternal springs of the Shoegaze gods.
