Brief Candles

Unique album which plays with shoegaze tropes with a really unexplainably beautiful twist

Eric's Trip - Hurt

This was an obscure song that came out of Canada back in the early '90s.. it had lots of airplay on a Detroit - Windsor station 89x. The band I believe faded away... But this track will always be timeless to me.

I keep accidently creating songs that already exist

Every time I noodle around on my guitar to create cool riffs and chord progressions I realize the stuff I come up with is very similar to songs that I listened to. I literally just found a really nice progression and realized it is the EXACT same as Cure by Honeydip. When I try creating original stuff it always sounds familiar and when it clicks I get really frustrated. Does anyone else have this problem? I think my brain is just recycling stuff that I listen to.

Christmas EP by Jesu is name-your-price on Bandcamp all December!

Far from a festive novelty; this might rank among my favourite Jesu material. Even the three remixes are fantastic; all done by Justin Broadrick himself under his various different aliases.

Trauma Ray @ Healer (May 2024)

I apologize for the awful video, but I am grateful that I was able to experience Trauma Ray in such an intimate setting. They sound just as good in person!

Bardo Pond

This band deserves more attention. Put out some great experimental music in the 90s and early 00s that walked the line between shoe gaze and psychedelic. Similar vein as Mogwai amd Godspeed.

Anyone knows the band behind this song?

Hello,
first of all i'm very sorry if this post does not fit into this subreddit!

But I'm searching for the band behind this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFmVmVgsACY

The song was downloaded by the OP in the late 00s but he doesn't remember if it was downloaded from myspace or a p2p service. The file was labeled as fixation.mp3 and the metadata of the file is empty.

Does anyone has a clue which band this could be?

Witch Victim

A friend sent me this song the other day and I’m hooked. This is all over the place, but definitely sensing some shoegaze vibes.
