must listen to gaze you haven't heard

gaze-adjacent I should say, but I don't know what to name the list otherwise. none of this is shoegaze by the numbers, which makes it all stand out more. thank you spotify algorithm.

...I Do My Part By Not Killing Spiders


not shoegaze, but if you take away nothing else from this list you must listen to this (especially if you like the noisy shit). there are some gaze characteristics as well as skramz and post hardcore, but this is some of the rawest damn noise rock I've heard in a minute. they only have one EP, so let's blow this band up so they make more music.

A View of Everything


really hard to describe band. think indie rock, emo, post hardcore, math rock, and shoegaze all at once. the guitars are super pretty, but they can also rock out. probably my favorite album from this list, I've had it on repeat.

There Is A Well


this band describes their music as "dirtgaze" and it checks out. country tinged slowcore that gets loud and emotional at times. won't be surprised if I bump my rating for this soon.

before you write them off as a duster clone, these guys are writing some very engaging instrumental rock that is colorful and moody. their guitar sound is very distinct to me at this point, and to me it really stands out from the typical "lo-fi" sounding duster clones out there. their LP is really worth your time too.

probably an actual duster clone, but very much worth your time. they're a combination of slowcore, space rock and slacker rock (which sputnik could really use genre tags for by now). the beginning of this album starts slow but really picks up after the first 4 songs or so. I'd also recommend their new EP that came out this year which might be a better start.
