Future Of Illusion is the second full length studio album from Brisbane Australia based gazers DEAFCULT. I’m a huge fan of their last album, Auras, with its lush shoegazing sounds and reverberating soundscapes. The band, who have added Kellie Lloyd (Screamfeeder) on bass/ vocal duties this time around, are keen to point out that thisContinue reading “DEAFCULT – Future of Illusion”

Virgins – Slowly, Long
Last year’s Transmit a Little Heaven EP by Belfast’s Virgins was every bit the bona fide shoegaze classic it had promised to be. I can also attest from first-hand experience that Virgins live is a sonic assault that will live in your memory for a long time after. This formidable band is formed around mainContinue reading “Virgins – Slowly, Long”
Feeble Little Horse – Girl With Fish
Last year I stumbled across the stunning debut album from Pittsburgh DIY noise makers Feeble Little Horse. Hayday was an instant hit with its slacker sensibilities and killer songs.

T.G. Shand – Cinnamon EP
As a big Miniatures fan, I was so happy when lead singer Annemarie Duff returned with her solo project T.G Shand. Hailing from Ōtautahi New Zealand she is creating some sublime dreampop. She’s released some stellar singles over the last few years. I’m particularly fond of ‘Little Sieve’ not least because it came of aContinue reading “T.G. Shand – Cinnamon EP”

However, Allison has produced some absolutely stellar solo albums as well as collaborating with the likes of Massive Attack, Paul Weller and Peter Doherty. Most recently she contributed vocals to theContinue reading “Dot Allison – Consciousology”

Bdrmm – I Don’t Know
Back in 2020 a debut album from a Hull band caught us all by surprise. Bedroom from bdrmm is a stunning debut for any band. Song writing of the highest calibre coupled with a nailed down shoegaze aesthetic across all the tracks. It was that cohesive, seamless listening experience that earned the band plaudit afterContinue reading “Bdrmm – I Don’t Know”
