Recommendations for alt rock/grunge type shoegaze with screaming

Sorry old heads don't kill me, but asking more for recos on newer/current bands. Looking for more bands with either or both singing and streaming. More along the lines of Soul Blind, Holy Fawn, Modern Color, not like screamo black gaze. I know a lot of bands already, but pretend I don't, just trying to find some new shit or stuff I haven't listened to yet.

Unknown shoegaze song from radio show - Do you know this song?

https://youtu.be/_3iFvzPUM98?si=KFZljQ6Kl87UzQUO&t=615
(from b4 with Chanel Beads & Colle ‪@TheLotRadio‬ 01-12-2023)
Track starts at 10:16, ends at 14:28

I've been trying to ID this track and I'm having no luck!
People in the yt comments are all wondering the same thing.
I've tried Shazam and googling combinations of the lyrics with no success.
I'm confident one us nerds will know this song. It might be pitched/slowed/reverb'd and of course the vocals are barely understandable.
I really like this song and am consumed with finding the band.
Here's what I have gathered so far (guesses and assumptions):

Lyrics (rough parts I can hear):

Verse 1

Tides
A chance to ___
Keep it (close to you/closer)
Through all ____

It's my (hand/heart) that turns away

But that's not __
Just come over the hill
Break with the ____

Chorus

___
___
Going so ___
Flooding my (eyes/walls)

Verse 2

Can't shake it
Nothing more than a fear
_____

(Chorus x 4)

Screenshot of the CDJ tracklist interface:

  • screen shot of the left CDJ, 3rd track down
  • image pulled from earlier in the set so the track isn't highlighted (easier to read)
  • band name on the left, seperated by a '-', song name on the right
  • band name:
    • two words
    • first word ends in '-ing' (?)
  • song name:
    • two words
    • ends in '.mp3'

Trauma Ray - Chameleon

Another amazing album by Trauma Ray. Lately, this song has been on repeat for me.There's something about the feel, Chino Moreno-esque vocals and the heavy guitar that reminds me of Saturday Night Wrist by Deftones.

Ocean Grove - LAST DANCE

Came out a couple weeks ago. Not a shoegaze band, but on this track they dipped their feet into the genre. Sounds great to me, reminds me a bit of Loathe.

Les Paul Jr good for shoegaze?

Saw a LPJ at a local music shop and I’ve always wanted one. I primarily play in a shoegaze band, so I was just wondering I could get some good tones out of it. I’m worried that only having 1 P90 pickup would make it sound pretty flat. Let me know.

Former black metal bands have made the best shoegaze in the last 10 years.

bands like deaf heaven and holy fawn etc. Boy oh boy do I like these albums, the older screaming vocal music not so much but what these bands are doing now is amazing. Maybe its just my love if heavy heavy shoe gaze, starflyer has always been my favorite.
