gaze:dream:bliss
First off even though Keyblade's 'ethereal dreamgaze' list is still the definitive go to list, I figured I'd share a list with some stuff that wasn't listed on it. I tried to include albums & artists that don't get a lot of attention, so hopefully people might find some gems here.
I'll try to add more detail, and albums to this list in the future as well, but i figured around 50 was good for now. |
1 |  | Candle Beginning Blue
this is a classic early 90's gaze ep you've probably never heard. easily one of my fav ep's. |
2 |  | Drop Nineteens Mayfield
Drop Nineteens real first album, which was never officially put out due it's master tapes sadly getting damaged. Thankfully it's still around in all it's corroded lo-fi glory, the production might not be for everyone, but it's definitely worth checking out. It even sports a beautiful hazy cover version of The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun" |
