For more conventional shoegaze, the recent Slow Crush is nice!

Ooh, if you want something pretty far out, this year's Pyramids album is a wild mash up of shoegaze, blackgaze and reggaeton!

Meredith's excellent album "Varmints" came out in 2016. I've used "Nautilus" in another challenge, so let's go with one of the other tracks for this one!

Some lovely psychedelic improvisation taken from 2016 Grateful Dead tribute album "Day of the Dead" which, I'm reading now, Dessner actually curated!

I definitely want to get in on the Brazil-posting, so for token two I'm going with my fave version of this song, that you may recognize from the Terry Gilliam dystopian movie "Brazil".

Jobim does such a beautifully chill version!

Ooh yes, great pick! There are probably a couple of other versions of this song that would work well, too. This is a nice one!

Oh cool! I've listened to some of her songbooks - didn't know she'd done a Jobim edition!
