Mazzy Star - Fade into You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4m5jQy5A2U

The live version serves well to show you why it's called Shoegaze :)

My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYMzEplnfU

Quintessential shoegaze song

Ringo Deathstarr - Sweet Girl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Mgv2mn-Lg

One of my personal favorites

That Mazzy Star performance ... in Silicon Valley, ha ha. Playing a floppy-disk-throw from Google HQ — well, were Google there in 1994 (I guess that would be Silicon Graphics or some such).

Great, thank you! I am checking these out now.

My first intro was The Jesus And Mary Chain's Psychocandy. The mix on "Taste the Floor"[1] is so crazy—the guitar is so loud it begs you to turn up the volume to "hurt your ears" levels (phone/laptop speakers will not do this justice). I swear I've lost hearing due to my love of shoegaze…

A more recent version of this kind of noise rock is The Raveonettes [2].

Every Noise[1] has you covered: https://open.spotify.com/user/particledetector/playlist/330i...

(Though it's just an algorithm and sometimes can have opinions on what constitutes a genre that active listeners of the genre might disagree with.)

Thanks!

I came across this Nothing album the other day, and it seems on point to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtCSu_P_Ow

Cool thanks, will check this out.

My intro was Airiel - The Release.
