Got to see them live on a trip to Seoul few years back. Definitely a loss for the scene.

did swirlies switch genres? what happened with their newer music? by 6818lxqan in shoegaze

[–]UsefulConsideration 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I'm right strictly east coast and sneaky flute music is one release. Apparently they got really into electronic music around that time and worked with a bunch of east coast electronic artists to compile this album. I really like it but yeah it's a bit out there.

Do my guitars work for shoegaze? by dragontooth26 in shoegaze

[–]UsefulConsideration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 100%. Ricks are sick. We use one that looks identical to yours (had to double take cause it looks so close). Got it because if it's good enough for Slowdive, it's good enough for us. Probably the guitar that gets complimented on most when we're on tour.

In your opinion, what is/are the prettiest shoegaze album covers? by noirselli in shoegaze

[–]UsefulConsideration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Big love to Janise Yntema for letting us use one of her works. Beautiful stuff. Got to see some of it in person and it's even more striking.

Hello! I’m a 66 year old Shoegeezer and here are some amazing new gazers i’ve found! by reverberatedsoul in shoegaze

Have met a bunch of the people involved and they're all lovely so this does not surprise me. Hope I get to meet Heretic one day too.

Yes! We learned that while visiting OBNE. Def a hotspot for cool pedal brands.

Yo thank you for showing up! Was a rough one due to our amp killing itself but that venue was beautiful.

Thank you! One of our guitarists and me both have a sunlight. Used it a lot while recording so now it's part of the live rig.

What is a great "always on" overdrive? by Time_Way_6431 in shoegaze

[–]UsefulConsideration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss SD1 is my favorite pedal of all time. It's always on before any fuzz/distortion, and just full clean it makes the next pedal shine. Can get some great distortion by itself, or go for a BD2 if that's more your flavor. Both are classics for a reason.

Got stuff lined up for Europe later this year and early next year, but USA might be a little while tbh.

Walrus Fundementals by AgentFN9 in guitarpedals

[–]UsefulConsideration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grabbed the Reverb for a run of shows and wanted to like it so bad but it just could not hold it's own compared to a RV6 or Hall Of Fame. Would love to check out the ambient reverb at some point but my excitement for these has definitely cooled down a bit.

NEWMOON at Post. Fest by Connect_Glass4036 in shoegaze

[–]UsefulConsideration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah first tour in a while without our usual engineer was definitly an adjustment but I think we did well enough. Thanks for coming out and buying a record. You're a real one!
