Hey Shoegaze Lovers,

I ♥ Shoegaze || January II

Well,
yesterday I had some free time so I decided to clean up my mail box and had to fight with tons of unread messages of you guys. I'm so overwhelmed! I never believed there are so many people out there reading my blog. So thanks for your kind words.
I really try to get back to everyone of you but that's not possible, thanks to the fact that I have to work and also want to have some time left I can spend on my own music projects and my boyfriend.
It's also not possible to post all of your submitted music on Shoegaze Love and this is still a personal blog where I post bands and music I love. That doesn't mean, when I'm not writing about your band that you guys suck, I might just not be into it. 
I hope you don't mind and keep on sending me music. I'm listening to all of it (when I find the time to do it!) 
So let's start with some music:


First band I want to introduce to you is Costumes. The band from Austin, TX are mixing lofi indie rock with some dreamy shoegaze elements. Sweet stuff!
Vapour Night are some scottish band that convinced me with their great composition of dark ambient music with electronical and gazy influences. The vocals remind me of Slowdive and I fell in love with their song 'Night Flower'. Just amazing
Shalloboi are an ambient music duo based in chicago. It's a mix of drone and oldschool shoegaze a la MBV. Very cool and the retiring vocals match perfectly. 
The next one I want to show you is not actually Shoegaze but Beauty Camp got me with their very catchy mix of different genres. It's like Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) meets Jónsi (Sigur Rós) in a reggae bar and some DJ is playing some displaced electro pop while a crappy jazz band is playing in the other corner. short: I never heard something like that before and I love it!
Sunken Seas impress with spacey modern shoegaze music. What can I say? It's just the way I like it!
SUPERRRRRRRRRCRUSH!!! Oh my gosh I completely fell in love with Supercrush! Besides Shoegaze Music I love oldschool Indie Rock so much and this band just went right into my heart with their catchy pop songs that remind me of Ash and Dinosaur Jr. So great! Check them out!!!!

So that's it so far. I don't want to overload you with all the great bands! Many of the ones I posted offer free download so check them out and maybe leave some bucks just to help them keeping on doing great music. I know it's hard.

Review: 'Distance' by Ceremony

Just a few days before christmas Ceremony brought their very own little present to Shoegaze town.

   
On december 17th the band from Fredericksburg, VA released their Album 'Distance' via Moon Sounds Records which also is a home for the surf-psych rockers The Vandelles.
When Ceremony released the single 'I Want to Kiss' in august last year they already got me with this massive fuzzy bass sound and I felt like back in the 80's with this poppy The Jesus and Mary Chain songwriting. But there was more to come.
 
With their new album they continue doing hat they do best: Writing heartbreaking love songs with fuzz fuzz and more fuzz, lovely voices and punk rock attitude.
With simple but awesome guitar lines they create this innocent athmosphere of some cute little teenage love. 

The sound of 'Distance' doesn't remind of A Place by Bury Strangers by accident. The good friend and former bandmate from Skywave times Oliver Ackermann mastered the whole albumand gave it this rich noisy over the top sound which makes all the APTBS songs so intense.

So what's more to say?
Get your copy now! here

I ♥ Shoegaze || January I

Hey everyone!
I wish you all a Happy New Year 2014. Hold on to your wishes an dreams and become the person you wanna be. So let's start with some Shoegaze Love left over from 2013. I did not forget about you I just needed some free time with my family and friend so I hope you don't mind I post you now.

At first, I wanna introduce Soft Shadows to you. In october 2013 they released their album "Reverb Is For Lovers" and beside the most awesome album title they bring great Shoegaze to the listeners. It's soft and it's hard at the same time. Just the way I like it. So don't miss them!! 
Next one on the list are Wilson & Joy from UK. Their dream-pop is awesome and comes in a modern suit. My favorite song is "Lost".
In november 2013 gorgeous Louise Trehy (part of Swallow) released a track called "Automatic" under the name Strata Florida via Saint Marie Records. With a lot of tremolo effect it reminds me of the early 90s Shoegaze. The vocals are perfect. I'm dreaming.
Never heard of "Slackgazers"? Then you probably never heard about Chimes from New Jersey, USA. This 5 young people are creating a great modern Shoegaze with very dreamy female voices. And btw: Their cover art is beauteous. I love it!!!
Human Colonies is an italien Shoegaze Band who are in love with the great never dying stars on Shoegaze heaven such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride and are also into Old-School noisy Indie-Rock like Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr. Best mix if you ask me.
And there's another band which came along my way called Costado. I just couldn't find out if they had a facebook page so if anyone of you now where I can find them please write a comment below 'cause this band is amazing and I want to know what's going on. So check out their bandcamp. Great fuzzy guitars and a very good drum sound. Keep on.  

Enjoy.
