Ok, time for the very first Waves mixtape in series I’d like to continue with a few of my favourite genres to give you a bit of an introduction; the rest of the hunting is up to you. Not all of these would be considered totally shoegaze, but delve a bit into Dream-pop and noise [...]

Love of Diagrams, Melbourne, have just released their third album, Nowhere Forever, and it is amazing. Coming from a band thats roots lie in the sounds of NY No Wave and UK Post Punk, that band has taken these sounds and grown and developed them, fusing more recently with 80’s/90’s Shoegaze and Dream-Pop, to create [...]

I sift through alot of music so its really exciting when something just instantly grabs you, and you get that feeling like this could be a band that is going to be popping up alot more in the next year or so. The Isolation are just that. The Swedish band are a bit of a [...]

Flying Saucer Attack were formed in Bristol, England in 1992. David Pearce was the core member of the group, and Rachel Brook (of Movietone, another Bristol band) was a member for most of the band’s lifetime.
The band were marked by quiet vocals and sheets of feedback with similarities to contemporary shoegazing bands, or The Jesus [...]

Ive always had a very soft spot in my heart for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s First album, B.R.M.C, and have been waiting for something to come along to hit the same key as that. The new album ‘Devotion Implosion’ by LA three piece Gliss is the closest I have found. Its a misleading band name, [...]

There’s a score of exciting stuff coming out in the coming months that are getting me all in a tussle…
The Juan MacLean’s new LP, The Future Will Come drops April 14 and if this track is anything to go by it should be nice as. Sounds very much like a DFA/LCD cocktail spiked with a [...]

The Whitest Boy Alive in Jakarta, Saturday Nov 29, 2008 (props: khaniv13)

This post has been so long overdue that it isn’t even funny. Finally I have now blogged Berlin-based The Whitest Boy Alive properly. I have been so bloody hooked on their first album “Dreams” since its release back in 2006 and now the time [...]

EDIT: The mp3 has since been removed at the request of Domino. Blink and you missed it.
The sporadic but always excellent Grizzly Bear blog have posted a proper mp3 of Animal Collective’s Brothersport! There have been several live versions floating around as well as a cover by Blind Man’s Colour, which is odd for a [...]

Marc Regueiro-Mckelvie, AKA Popolice, is probably the most underrated Melbourne act around, producing some of the most mesmerizing pop/shoegaze. I honestly cannot sing this guys praise enough. Creative genius. Every time I see him play is a treat, even if my eardrums do suffer a little afterwards from the wall of noise. These recordings don’t [...]

Recently Ive been getting so much new music from around the place, that Ive barely had a chance to give it all a decent listen. So its always refreshing when a band can capture you in that small amount of time. New World Disorder by UK band Aspen Woods is one of those albums you [...]
