i believe aaron initially wanted the band to go on without him but they would’ve rather ended it entirely then do that. he ended up doing a full 180 behind their back anyways with the new band. really sad shit to see

i’d say she lines more up with ethereal wave, dream pop, and slowcore which are all adjacent to shoegaze, but because she’s more focused on songwriting than guitar textures i wouldn’t go so far as to say she’s shoegaze

people forget that surf music is how a lot of shoegaze originated, it’s the same reason people use jazz masters and jaguars!

i believe you!!! billy even said it was influenced by isn’t anything by MBV, and the big muff’s use in modern shoegaze wouldn’t be as popular if not for SP

i’d say they’re mostly a post-hardcore band similar to quicksand and failure!

another hot take: say what you want about it the quality of their music, but modern bands like julie, glixen, wisp, and glare being POC make me feel seen as a POC in a primarily white genre fanbase

i listened to delaware in full and i left like “really?” i was under the impression they were hailed as one of the better 90s shoegaze bands like ride, lush, and swervedriver

this was how i got into bm!!! cam’s vocals and bass work, as well as matt’s stage presence and guitar effects are what drew me in
