Features
• shoegaze is meant to describe a scene of bands whose overwhelming
amount of pedals led them to simply stare at their shoes while
playing on stage
• guitar distortion, feedback, dreamy layered vocals
• feels like waves of sound building a wall encase you
• close to dream pop, post punk and lo-fi
• shoegazers are looking coy and pre-occupied on stage
