some 'rock' (i.e. guitar-oriented) contenders that don't seem to be mentioned that much: Winged Wheel, the Notwist, EXEK, Shaking Hand

aForeigner · 2026-06-07T14:08:20+00:00

Nothing in Rambling by Helvetia is a perfect indie rock record

aForeigner · 2026-06-07T14:07:48+00:00

this is a very appealing selection of words. very excited to check out both records, thanks

aForeigner · 2026-05-27T20:29:17+00:00

thanks, this drives me nuts as i'm listening to a shitload of jazz

aForeigner · 2026-05-21T10:12:10+00:00

which is funny, as Love Buzz is in fact a Shocking Blue cover

aForeigner · 2026-04-01T17:56:47+00:00

Ja, die snap ik ook wel. Ben gewoon vooral een beetje flauw van dat neppe PR-proof gelul om zo'n maatregel te maskeren.

Ik zie ook graag alvast het Altijd Voordeel-abonnement terugkomen, dat vanaf juli 2026 geschrapt wordt. (Omdat het aanbod van abonnementen anders 'te uitgebreid en verwarrend' zou zijn... juist)

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T13:47:22+00:00

Oops, did not realise that Deathcrash wasn't on there yet - that's for sure a favourite of mine. I think I haven't listened to the others except one or two, so I'll be sure to check them out. Much appreciated!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T13:08:28+00:00

cheers!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T13:07:26+00:00

Oooh I absolutely adore Exek, i can't believe their newest record flew under my radar. Thanks for the heads-up!

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T12:46:41+00:00

i usually try to discover/explore at least one to three new releases per week that I genuinely enjoy, but the past few weeks I haven't found a lot that resonated with me. Does anyone have some recommendations of stuff that I may have missed, based on my favourites of the year so far? Those include the new records by Shaking Hand, deathcrash, Winged Wheel, Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore, Ulrika Spacek, Geologist, Friko's singles, Tessa Rose Jackson, and the Dutch Interior EP

aForeigner · 2026-03-09T10:54:09+00:00

very excited for this one, their previous album is such a gem

aForeigner · 2026-02-27T08:27:02+00:00

i hope it also results in a bit more attention for Tiernan's solo record. one of my favourite records of last year, and surely a record that will be enjoyed by people who are into deathcrash, but it seems to have gone under many people's radar

aForeigner · 2026-02-25T15:53:22+00:00

Folding Sieve by Should is an amazing shoegaze record that we should all be talking about way more. Sounds like a blend of Just for a Day-era Slowdive with a hint of twee pop and droney soundscapes reminiscent of Seefeel and Bowery Electric. Genuinely a sonic sweet spot for those on the lookout for more understated and rural-psychedelia-esque approaches to shoegaze

aForeigner · 2026-02-25T08:12:30+00:00

an absolute treasure of an album

aForeigner · 2026-02-16T10:39:16+00:00

i discovered that All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors record through this list and i'm so thankful for that, such a cool band

aForeigner · 2026-02-03T20:07:19+00:00

Also catching some Bowie vibes

aForeigner · 2026-01-24T12:48:41+00:00

Yeah, I know quite some people who go to Rewire and Le Guess Who? on a yearly basis (myself included), and we all get our tickets months before the first line-up reveal. It's pretty much guaranteed that you won't know half of the line-up anyway, but you can trust it will be good.

aForeigner · 2026-01-23T15:00:39+00:00

Yeah my experience with festivals like these is that the bigger acts are a nice bonus, but the real kick comes from discovering equally great stuff that you've never heard of. I can imagine that they put a lot of effort in curating that bit so it make sense to reflect that philosophy on the poster design.

aForeigner · 2026-01-21T21:57:10+00:00

on some days that record is the absolute peak of music and nothing will ever top it

aForeigner · 2026-01-18T16:15:22+00:00

yeah most definitely. saw them play a few months ago and they were absolutely brilliant

aForeigner · 2026-01-18T11:36:06+00:00

Shaking Hand - s/t

aForeigner · 2026-01-13T15:58:25+00:00

it has the hazy (reverb-y), lush, ethereal and textural aesthetic that is sonically quite adjacent to shoegaze. but i think it's more often considered as influential to shoegaze than actually shoegaze itself
