The Amazing–In Transit
Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop, Shoegazing
FFO: Slowdive, Brian Eno, The Smiths
The Swedish five piece ambitiously known as The Amazing treat listeners to a sixth LP that noticeably shifts the group’s sound in a far more hazy, atmospheric direction.
From the opening track, there were vibes I found pleasantly similar to Souvlaki with angelic vocals floating gracefully over powerful soundscapes.

Drowse–Cold Air
Genre: Shoegazing, Drone, Dream Pop, Post Punk, Post Rock, Experimental Rock, Electronic, Ambient
FFO: My Bloody Valentine, Weekend, Planning for Burial
Hailing from Portland, Oregon, a particular bedroom project known as Drowse crafts a personal, anxiety-ridden sophomore record.
Cold Air implements the use of droney, ambient Shoegazing with subtle elements of Post Punk, Slowcore, and many other genres to serve as a fitting backdrop for tormenting, depressing lyrical presentation.
The project’s Bandcamp’s bio advises fans to listen “Before bed lay on your back with headphones on—or play loud on big speakers.”
Be sure to sure to take their advice on that one.
Kraus–Path
Genre: Shoegazing, Dream Pop, Noise Rock, Lofi
FFO: Slowdive, Whirr, Nothing
Dallas, Texas-based multi-instrumentalist, Will Kraus, takes a second stab at generating the sound of a full Shoegaze band all by himself with his latest record.
Path is a loud, exceptionally noisy, sonic journey utilizing a vast plethora of sonic experimentation.
I highly recommend this LP to any fans of the Scene That Celebrates Itself.
