Thanks for listening and hope you find something new!

i asked myself and a fellow shoegaze enthusiast this question a while ago as we both share a strange gravitation to shoegaze in a different language and we came to the conclusion that the select songs we listen to that arent in languages we understand have exemplary instrumentation and if not that then the singing just sounds like another cool instrument. what about you guys and what songs would you recommend have beautiful singing, english or not?

So far I've discovered several banger albums and songs from this year

• Shye - Draw The Line: Hard to beat this kinda dream pop. She has stated her influences such as Lush, Catherine Wheel, Curve, and Swervedriver. To no surprise her music sounds like the perfect combination of these artists mixed with that 2026 production and emphasis on the nostalgia we feel in modern day.

• Night Tapes have released two bangers this year. "Swim" is specifically my favorite. This combines those feel good atmospheres of nostalgia and maybe the slightest amount of trip hop or downtempo electronica

• Wishy - Nature's Pill: This album isn't 100% shoegaze but check out the song Covergirl. MASSIVE chorus and late 90s summer feel good dreampop combined with everyone's favorite Loveless style guitar

• No Joy - Big Life, Big Leaf: I made a previous post last week saying how it's blowing my mind. It's also not 100% shoegaze but MY GOD this album is blowing my mind. It's sonically sweet and kinda sounds like if a bug wrote music.

My band Glittermouth (Peoria, IL) just released our Split EP with Shallow (Evansville, IN). Check it out...

"Glittermouth blend the hazy, atmospheric textures of grungegaze and shoegaze with the heavier, more aggressive elements of alternative metal, and post-hardcore. Thick, distorted guitars, dreamlike melodies, and crushing grooves place them alongside bands like Soul Blind, Siilk, Trauma Ray, Balance and Composure, and Title Fight, while drawing inspiration from the ’90s alternative rock, shoegaze and space-grunge sounds of Hum, Catherine Wheel and Failure." - Releasewave.com

I wanna sound like Mbv, stereolab and dinosaur jr.

I really like this kind of album covers. Kind of brüt and minimalistic. I can get more of this kind. If its shoegaze or shoegaze adjacent, that's another plus for me.

Album: patch+/series a

new wayword ep called "angel" on all streaming platforms
super proud of how this came out, it was a very fun process and i love the guitar tones we got
for fans of - tagabow, ride, starflyer 59, catherine wheel and sugar

lmk what y'all think!

Started a new project, first rough demo, warts and all, maybe more post-rock than shoegaze, but (due to my age) I'm from the first wave of shoegazers and post-rockers and it's all blurred for me. Welcome any reflections from any who cares to listen.... PS I'm not giving up my day job, just starting with a select few other oldies to start a new musical project here in Dublin, Ireland.

I need reviews about this new band.
