The Jesus And Mary Chain : Glasgow Eyes

The Jesus and Mary Chain have been a staple of the shoegaze/noise-pop community for 40 years, releasing their debut Psychocandy in 1985. Blurry, fuzzy, and noisy, Psychocandy was unlike anything else out at the time. The next album to make such a sonic statement was My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless six years later. Though brothers William […]

Single Lash : Ladida

Single Lash builds worlds on their records. The Austin-based alternative band began as a musical outlet for singer/songwriter Nicolas Nadeau. Releasing debut Almost Breathing in 2012, Nadeau has built on those early dark, Gothic songs that ranged from echo-laden dark wave and 4AD vibes to a more bright, ethereal sound. The band has expanded to […]

Blonde Redhead : Sit Down For Dinner

The New York-based trio of Blonde Redhead have covered lots of sonic ground in their 30-year career.

But as the years went on Blonde Redhead evolved […]

Slowdive : Everything Is Alive

Slowdive are one of the premier OG shoegaze bands of the early 90s. Releasing their debut album Just For A Day in 1991, then following it up with Souvlaki in 1993.

A Place To Bury Strangers : See Through You

Oliver Ackermann’s long running post-punk/shoegaze/noise rock band A Place To Bury Strangers continues to morph and evolve into the perfect screeching, nihilistic sound blast. Guitars that sonically land somewhere between a chainsaw, exploding power grid, and a universe eating itself, while drums and bass keep a constant, robot-like rhythm to march into the apocalypse to. […]

A Place To Bury Strangers : Hologram

A Place To Bury Strangers have the distinct honor of being named the loudest band in New York. I think that’s an understatement as they could easily be the loudest band in the universe if Mogwai were to go acoustic. Either way, if you throw on any one of APTBS five studio albums you’d quickly […]

Shortwave Broadcaster : Sometimes In The Distance

Keith Canisius, aka Shortwave Broadcaster, continues his impressive streak of ambient/soundscape album releases with his newest album Sometimes in the Distance. Each album evolves and grows into something more dream-like and organic-sounding, and his latest tows the sonic line between shoegaze new age and interstellar fever dream. Keith Canisius is no stranger to heady sound […]

Schnauss & Munk Return With The Gorgeous “Asteroid 2467”; New Album Coming This Spring

Sitting here as the sun is rising on a chilly but stunning Saturday morning and listening to the brand new single from sonic wizards Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk. What better way to get the morning going? Coffee would be good. It’s been four years since the last Schnauss and Munk release, the electronic masterwork […]

Deafheaven : 10 Years Gone

Deafheaven have reshaped what it is and what it can be to be a metal band over the last decade. Seamlessly combining elements of black metal, post-rock, thrash, shoegaze, and even dream pop throughout each of their releases, the California 5-piece somehow make switching gears from Burzum and Slayer to Wilco and Explosions in The […]
