Gloomy post-punk that’ll make you want to break out the black fingernail polish again.

Slowdive’s first new song in over 20 years is arguably their most aggressive yet.

Jagged industrial and EMB with a punk-like attitude and posture.

Minimalist industrial punk; the return of a shoegaze legend; dreamy inter-dimensional post-punk; and darkly lush pop from Germany.

It’s one of the best Arcade Fire songs to date — and a nice tease for their upcoming concert film.

And it picks right up where their masterpiece, 1993’s Euphoria, left off.

I’d spend hours poring over catalogs like these, trying to decide what music to buy with my meager college paychecks.

2016 sucked in many ways. But there was beautiful music to be heard in the midst of the year’s ugliness.

One of my favorite albums gets reissued and several great shoegaze/noise-pop acts return with promises of new music.

It’d be a shame to overlook the anniversary of one of Christian music’s true masterpieces.

Patient listeners will find much to appreciate in the post-rock outfit’s latest album.

The Portland group conjure up a heady blend of goth, shoegaze, and psychedelia.

Atmospheric, intricately detailed techno that’s perfect for late-night blogging or coding sessions.

For all of their heaviness, White’s songs never plod but rather, float and drift effortlessly.

Dark-tinged folk balladry, spacey techno from Iceland, goth-y psychedelia, and stripped down post-rock.

Mimi Parker’s lovely voice makes “Some Hearts (at Christmas Time)” another fine Christmas tune from the slowcore pioneers.

They’ve only released seven songs in four years, and each song is a lovely little gem in its own right. Even the REO Speedwagon cover.

No disrespect to Depeche Mode, but HKE’s track is a better match for the Ghost in the Shell aesthetic.

And yes, that’s really the new artwork. Those Texas boys are something else.

It has everything you could ever possibly want in a shoegaze song.
