When the East Coast crew goes back and forth between kicking in the fuzz and dialing back to alt country mode. I grew up around too much asphalt and concrete to really go for the rural stuff. I like those loud parts, though.

Some new Mogwai for a night of space weather, but just because the Sea Power we were listening to driving to a Dark Place to see columns of magenta light is not from this year.

M83 score of a Dakar Rally doc. I mean, I reach for M83 when driving on hot, sunny days already.

How about shoegaze crossed with not-quite-post punk/hardcore. And I mean sometimes it’s all the way shoegaze and sometimes basically mclusky. But Scottish.

East Coast shoegaze with a post hardcore post grunge feel. Kinda near the center of a few East Coast scenes, it would seem.

All sorts of fun shoegaze and beyond sounds. A little more primal than some of the acts this year. Almost expect it to go full kosmische, but it’s like it’s too feral to lock in the motorik.

Quiet loud quiet. Dreamy to grungy. Acoustic, electric, strings. Never quite stacks drone on drone, but I guess it’s close enough to get a shoegaze tag on bandcamp.

In 2025, we’re throwing anything with this much guitar some combo of shoegaze, lo-fi, bedroom, power pop, or all of these and putting them in the same bin. Sounds like Dinosaur, Jr? Alex G with like, way more guitar?

Musical tastes can grow over a lifetime if you keep digging. Finally got into this band by the time I finished college like two years ago. Pretty cool. Maybe not 18-minute Jenny Ondioline cool, but pretty cool.

In the middle of the grunge guitar and the electronics and the bleeps is something like shoegaze, and it comes together quite nicely.

Best way to jump into shoegaze from Japan might be a cannonball off the high dive. It’s Hatsune Miku vocaloid shoegaze, then. This is one of my favorite things this year.

Fun electronic music. Sometimes feels a little like oklou or Purity Ring, sometimes more driving.

Just a chill Diwali night, walked the baby up to the temple to see some fireworks. Thought maybe some synth pop from Lights would be just the way to wind down.
