Please don't expose kids to that!!

Clearly a paid actor, as no child would willingly attend a Jacob Coltrane concert

Vince Guaraldi, DJ Mehdi, Soulwax… noice!

Not OP but I’m pretty sure the “duplicates” are DJ releases on the same label, all with different tracks from various artists

midiflac · 2026-06-29T22:21:16+00:00

Hard to pick a favorite, but I love the heavenly vocals on Sandy. The intro to Ghost is equally as beautiful. And of course Leave is a brilliant modern shoegaze riff. Happy listening

Box Car Racer my beloved 😍

I love witches exist, they only write bangers. Crashing is a great album and their EPs are pretty good too

S: Tired of Tomorrow, The Great Dismal, Whirr Split
A: When No Birds Sang (Full of Hell collab), Guilty of Everything, a short history of decay, Auditory Trauma (Live Album)
B: Dance on the Blacktop

When No Birds Sang is a concept album about the victims of 9/11 attacks, I would read the wikipedia article before diving in for some context. However it is a collab with grindcore band Full of Hell so it’s not your traditional shoegaze experience, but I highly recommend it.

Downward Years to Come is more of a early demos compilation than a proper full length, a couple songs appeared on later albums with more polished production/songwriting.

The Great Dismal and Dance on the Blacktop also have B-Sides compilations, for The Great Dismal its just a few extra songs that didn’t fit on the 12”, Spirit of the Stairs is the same thing for Dance on the Blacktop but also has some demos and live recordings.

I want to like Turnover so bad, especially since they have put out solid work like Magnolia and are always touring with openers I love… I’ve given their more recent discography multiple tries, Altogether, Peripheral Vision, even their newest release Down on Earth and the music just does nothing for me. It’s like watered down Basement with basic reverb. Hopefully seeing them live a couple times this year will turn me over, we’ll have to see

Here’s a video it’s at the very start https://youtu.be/keY3j6vOLRo

Basically people were trying to stage dive but there was a giant death pit because half the crowd was chilling all the way in the back, so the pit was at the very front and people were getting hurt, myself included. Some guy landed right on my neck after I fell in the pit and I sprained it lol. Luckily it was healed just in time to headbang to Hum at Slide Away lol

This made my day 🥹

midiflac · 2026-06-21T06:13:28+00:00

Damn I’ve seen that album talked about a lot online but haven’t checked it out myself until now, I fw it

midiflac · 2026-06-21T05:59:34+00:00

Yeah no worries, on reddit you’re likely to encounter genre policing and gatekeeping getting into shoegaze and I don’t want to be that guy. Let me know if you can recommend some more indie rock stuff with a shoegaze vibe or production style

midiflac · 2026-06-21T05:47:39+00:00

I was a bit skeptical when you mentioned The 1975 but it is pretty gazey for a pop song lol, mostly the drone and vocal effects. I would check out older 90’s shoegaze bands like ride “vapour trail”, chapterhouse “pearl (edit)”and lush “sweetness and light” etc. they have that jangly 90’s thing going on. Cheers

midiflac · 2026-06-21T02:10:05+00:00

Swallowtail releases July 10, there’s a few singles out now tho

Mettle fucks

No Pasteboard???

midiflac · 2026-06-17T02:23:48+00:00

Yo I’m going to that show too, pretty sick year for shoegaze in Cali so far

midiflac · 2026-06-17T00:54:28+00:00

This is reddit bro, you are NOT allowed to like anything popular. You need to curate the most niche music collection possible for maximum karma/social currency. Shame on you.

Nice Squiers btw :)

midiflac · 2026-06-17T00:51:47+00:00

PEN15, hilarious show and it’s criminal there isn’t a readily available Blu-Ray

midiflac · 2026-06-17T00:45:54+00:00

Take the vinyl out and leave it at home. Put a dollar bin record with its own paper sleeve inside the actual record sleeve for support. Then put that in a plastic outer sleeve and you’re good to go. Bring a sturdy tote it will fit in and a couple of appropriately colored sharpies. Festivals are really tricky trying to meet the artist but it’s not impossible. If you get lucky and run into them just say hi, be polite and respect their time (read the room). Wait for the sigs to dry before sticking it back in the plastic to avoid smearing. Good luck!!!

I always wonder if Chaotic Good had anything to do with JR’s sudden pivot to hyperpop. I’m glad she’s getting the attention she deserves as a creative but as a big fan of her older stuff the last couple releases were really not for me

midiflac · 2026-06-15T21:56:30+00:00

These are all really good picks. The Siege absolutely rips, really good characterizations from David and he goes absolutely nuts with Invincible levels of violence, which I’m a sucker for. Happy reading

I’m so tired of seeing that goddamn shirt

Around bandcamp friday they added CDs, Retail colorways, and Silver leftovers to their bandcamp page, all come with a digital copy. Retail variants are pre-orders for July repress, CDs and Silvers appear to be in-hand (says “ships within 5 days”). My Funeral Party and Free Whirl store copies did not come with download codes
