33:33 Hello more videos!
From Phil Spector's wall of sound technique, Punk/post-punk pioneers of The Stooges, Wire, Siouxsie and the Banshees, to 80s Cocteau Twins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr, until the shoegaze trinity of My Bloody Valentine, Ride, and Slowdive.
The history of shoegaze is more fascinating than you'd expect!

I LOVE Gen-Z re-discovering the whole Shoegaze/Dream Pop scene. Believe me, it was an AMAZING time for music‼️
From someone who was ‘there’ at the time of the original 80s and 90s shoegaze bands, this is a pretty accurate summary, and I’m glad you mentioned lesser-known bands such as Moose, Curve and Pale Saints. The Asian shoegaze scene isn’t something I know much about, so thank-you for that. I don’t know if you know a band from England called ‘Seefeel’? On their album ‘Quique’, they fused elements of shoegaze with dub, techno, minimalism and industrial sounds. This was quite ‘ahead of its time’, because it came out in the early 1990s. You can find it easily on You Tube.
Thank you! Yes I've heard of them, not very familiar though...
The Birthday party and Pale Saints just don't seem to get credit for being so dreamy and delicious. Love them, still!!
@@pluise true
That Seefeel album is a masterpiece 👌
Listened to Seefeel 'Quique' today, like it a lot! Like shoegaze meets Aphex Twin! Thanks :)
Lush is legendary but underrated as well imo
Slowdive releasing Slowdive years later was awesome such a great comeback album
Spot on adding Spacemen 3 and Loop to this discussion, absolute must haves
both good bands too!
Man, what a great time to be alive, late 80's, early 90's Shoegaze, Dreampop, but also Death and Black Metal, what a wonderful catalogue selection of music.
I actually saw Lush perform in Dallas in 1996. It was an amazing show. FWIH, lead singer Miki released a memoir not too long ago.
Shoegaze and Dreampop forever ❤
As an older generation, I had never heard of Shoegaze till we got Urban Hymns by the Verve, which is certainly not shoegaze, but it eventually led me back to "A Storm in Heaven" .
If you haven’t already, check out A Northern Soul. I think that is even better than Heaven.
@@Jabberwok28 Ashcroft is more out front on this one, not mixed as a sound effect. So the Shoegaze is being left behind.
I met Kevin shields before he was the singer around the time of another record by my bloody Valentine ep.A tiny old 60s club called Basins in the brutalist shopping center in Portsmouth.Virtually everyone left after the support band 😳they were all friends of the band I guess.My friend Matt and I got talking to Kevin,he bought us a drink and took us backstage,where we shared our deep obsession with the Marychain.Kevin showed me his tuning at the time and how to play were so beautiful 😎.When we headed out there was I think one guy at the bar 🤦♂️ they basically played just for us it was a beautiful night,will treasure it.Years later Kevin was trying to get into a sold out marychain gig in Brixton and saw us in the queue,I gave him my ticket and we went in together then I pretended I needed to go outside and bought the ticket with me 😆🥳 could have met Jim and William as Kevin knew them but I just couldn’t bring myself too as I had shaved my head 😆 they didn’t look too impressed when they looked over 😆
He invited us to sleep over at his squat that had flooded,they were sleeping in hammocks apparently,but I didn’t want to take his money for the train the next day 🤦♂️what am I like 😆
Belinda was hauntingly beautiful.
@briared Path
what a story!
thank you for sharing. I really don't know how to reply beyond, lol, wut!
Have a great weekend
My god. So many great songs and bands in this mini-documentary. So glad I experienced it as it happened.
I guess you can say I'm an old school Shoegaze fan. My first club show was Lush and Ride in Palo Alto, California when I was 15 years old. I can close my eyes and still see Miki Berenyi walk up on stage. As the millennium turned, I was resigned to the fact that my beloved Shoegaze was destined to be forgotten, tossed into the dustbin of music history. But, I was so pleased to see the resurgence occur as all of these NuGaze groups sprouted up. I would even go on to see Lush, Ride, MBV, and Slowdive live again on their very popular reunion tours. This was a very well-informed video, and I'm glad that it came up on my feed. Great job!
Thanks for sharing your anecdotal story :) I do believe shoegaze deserves to stand the test of time! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very awesome that you talked about MBVs early history. People tend to ignore it, but the first song by MBV my dad showed me was Tiger In My Tank
The Things I Miss is in my top five for MBV. It's so sweet!
Slowdive's "Star Roving" started to flow in my ears immediately after this clip 🤟
Acá en Argentina tuvimos a "Asalto al Parque Zoológico". Bandon! Y su disco "Noise Sweet Noise"
OMG Do You Have To Be Adorable ALL THE TIME!?! Gosh Girl Give It Break LOL... Really Great Work!
haha thanks, i try and it's hard work!
@@StellasEncounter Well It Shows Miss Stella... You Have A New Fan ... One That Knows To Watch , Like & Comment! God Bless!!
@@thedarkblockagency thanks for the support! Appreciated.
Brilliant video!
The late 80’s and early 90’s were good times to a teenager from north west England.
I loved this music
As an old crank, I have had the good fortune to see many of these bands back in their heyday (for example, a triple bill of Buffalo Tom, Mercury Rev and MBV… this would have been around ‘92?) and the comprehensive nature of your video brought me right back there. As usual, well done, you!
What has become my signature, have you heard of a band called Soundpool? They very much follow the Sunny Day in Glasgow model. They are quite good. There is another band named Asobi Seksu - they are from Brooklyn, of course. They have elements of shoegaze, but also a bit jangle pop and owe no small debt to Shonen Knife. The last band, yet again from Brooklyn, is one that sort of defies categorization: A Place to Bury Strangers. Have you heard of them? They are all over the map. I am a very big fan.
Anyway, I will check another video soon and leave a comment.
Thanks for your comment and support! Yeah I've heard of some of these, not Soundpool though, thanks for letting me know! :)
I laughed so hard when you started singing Vapour Trail.
Haha cheers!
A very well researched and presented video. You touched on all the main groups and many of the lesser known influences and early exponents like the underrated A.R. Kane. Although usually mentioned in shoegaze histories, you could argue the sonically magnificent Smashing Pumpkins album 'Siamese Dream' ticks all the boxes when it comes to the shoegaze sound and is a major album of the genre. A band that rarely gets mentioned is the Pacific Northwest post-hardcore band Unwound whose final album 'Leaves turn inside you' from 2001 has enough crunchy guitars and layered textures to qualify as a pretty decent shoegaze effort. Anyway great video Stella.
Thank you! I just listened to the Unwound album you mentioned, it sounds bit dry to me to be considered as shoegaze, but I can see where you come from!
Was hoping you would do a big shoegaze video like this, you make great content and have such a relaxing voice! You deserve lots more subscribers and views :) A few more bands you didn't mention that I would like to recommend you: Blind Mr. Jones, Pacific UV and Tribes of the City. And you probably know Coaltar of the Deepers, lots of shoe gaze elements to some of their stuff!
Haha thank you! I didn't know about your recs and gave them a listen, all good finds - esp Pacific UV - thanks again :)
One band that should've been mentored on that first wave was the Vedlt. They played shows with many of those early shoegaze bands and were apart of the innovation of that genre. They collaborated with Cocteau twins as well as AR Kane. I did an interview with them recently . If you like, check it out

The volume ingredient is spot on. After seeing Ride at The Palace in Melbourne in about '92, my hearing was damaged for a week, but the "high" it created, made it worth it.
Would love to see Ride in the 90s! I saw them a few years ago didn't find the volume to be too loud. I guess they play live differently now.
You had my respect for including Curve and Flying Saucer attack, they are my favorite!
My Bloody Valentine and my band The Nightshade Project became friends when we toured together briefly in the U.S. - I now own the bass guitar played in the video ‘Only Shallow’, and Belinda now owns the bass guitar Tamara played in our video ‘Only Nothing’.
wow, nice to meet you there! Glad you came by!😄
I was in this indie scene in Glasgow in the mid/late 80s, went to see many of these bands, and was friends with some. But we didnt like the terms shoegaze or twee. The word shoegaze seems to be mainly a term that younger folk not around at the time use as a shorthand to refer to the 80s indie music in Britain. And back then the scene was closely interconnected with people into 1960s music and style (which many younger folk into this music now seem not to realise)... So i always called it 'the 60s-indie scene'.
Nice overview. I remember the Kitchens Of Distinction being an important part of the development of that blissed out Shoegaze sound. Their first two albums are fantastic. History has kind of forgotten about them which is a shame.
Good shout on them, didn't recognize the name, playing "Drive That Fast" feels like I've heard this song many times....
@@StellasEncounter Its such a beautiful song. They are worth checking out.
A band I like which mix shoegaze with elements of electronica / trip hop is Bowery Electric. The song Freedom Fighter is a good example of what they do.
why am i just finding your channel!!
Hello. Wonderful video 👏🏼🎸. I’d recommend you the album “Dynamo” (1993) by the argentinian band Soda Stereo. They were by far the biggest and most popular latinamerican rock pop band by the beginning of the nineties, and in their musical quest they suddenly released a shoegaze record, the only one in their discography. Turns out their vocalist/guitarist and main composer was apparently listening a lot of shoegaze at the time of composition of the album. Many people was confused at the time, but the album passed the test of time. I love that record👌🏼🎸
You introduce me to so much music that was made during my lifetime but I never heard. Kind of ironic with you being so much younger. Thanks for another cool and informative video. You always make me smile when you smile.
@ artomatt I feel ya! I didn't discover Lush until 2005...ten years after the fact! I was forty-something.
🇧🇷 Vídeo muito bom Stella parabéns!!! I recommend a Brazilian Shoegaze band called GORDURATRANS. This group is recent on the national scene but is very promising. I hope you enjoy!!
Another relic from the late 80s/90s - pretty good history.
Always funny to watch the kids "eulogising" just what was happening as a follow on from before as if it came out of nowhere, so very refreshing to have someone acknowledging the massive post-punk roots of shoegaze.
Post-punk... where all the best music stems from.
I have not listened to a lot of shoegaze sadly, but there's one band playing a dream pop and shoegaze blend that I really love (and I don't think you mentioned it): Asobi Seksu. They're an American band, but the singer is Japanese and sing some songs in English and some in Japanese. They were hand picked by Slowdive to open for them in 2014, but the band was actually only active between 2001 and 2013.
I highly recommend the songs: Trails (2011), Stay (2002) and It's Too Late (2002). Hope you'll like those!
Yes I know the band Wasobi Seksu, and they're good, good shout!
Great work !
thank you so much for this ❤❤❤
you're an angel!!!
Shoegaze is my favorite music genre, period
Thanks for making a video on this!
I forgot to add that I came across the Pete Kember Pitchfork article a couple of months ago and was delighted by his writing.
Ikr! even though english isn't my native language, good eng writing is always delightful. You write well too, as far as I can tell. :)
@@StellasEncounter your English is very good, with a British/English accent? I can’t tell.
@@davidtollefson8411 mix of trans-pacific/general-tso/imported cockney!
You should check out the Taiwanese band Fuguko (河豚子)! They're one of my favorite shoegaze acts at the moment
THIS VIDEO IS JUST SO PERFECT
so well done and well explained, with all the delicacy with the history of the style leaving it so complete and well detailed, it's really a great documentary about the genre
.
.
.
*controversial opinions*:
Cocteau Twins is the Shoegaze great primal act
and Deftones is a valid crossover act between Alternative Metal and Shoegaze
Thank you am glad you liked it! You're right, deftones is up there as a crossover band of shoegaze!
The Sunday’s album Blind is a beauty,one of Elizabeth Frasers favourite singers.
I wasn't aware.
Thank you for the heads up. Have a great weekend!
Awesome video! Thanks for opening my eyes to some new sounds :))
thank you so much for this. All of my favorite bands as a kid, and some new to me.
Well done you nail it perfect . Great doco
Ohh... and dont forget "Swirlies" !!!
god bless my youtube recommendations, great stuff!!
Great video. This was my scene and I saw a lot of those bands back in the day. Good to see that younger people are getting into it. Really appreciate the time you took to properly research and present such a detailed overview. Subscribed.
And if you ever wondered what inspired the shoegaze movement in the first place you should look back at some of the early to mid 1970's UK prog, progfolk, whatever.
Black Widow had some protoshoegaze elements and a general proto "indie rock" kinda vibe for 1973.
Just remember. There was always something that came before!
Great video!! I always felt dinosaur jr early albums should be mentioned more in the early shoegaze conversation
I love your mini-documentaries and your upbeat attitude.
Liked and subscribed! Well done, and a nice overview of shoegaze. 🎸
Thanks for the sub!
Another awesome content!!!! ♥♥♥ really enjoyed watching it!
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes! Dinosaur Jr.! That's my local hometown band. AND Sonic Youth also lived in the town over. I'm such a Shoegaze nerd. Great round up. 🤘
Ahh cool, have you met J Mascis outside of a show? Long live Dinosaurs!!! /S
@@StellasEncounter He would come into the record store where I worked but I never talked to him (too shy!)
@@ChongqingPunk Aww hahaha!
Stoked to see you bring up bands like Swervedriver, and also take the Wall of Sound into account! I always think of that when I think shoegaze. I never knew about Don’t Cramp My Style by My Bloody Valentine so that was cool to learn! Great video.
solid video again, great recognition of blackgaze. before i pressed play, i thought it would be criminal to neglect the fusion style. surprising there was no mention of A Place to Bury Strangers, one of the more better and more well-known groups whose sound embraces shoegaze and noise rock ala The Jesus and Mary Chain.
I forgot why I didn't include a place to bury strangers.....good shout! Thanks for watching! :)
Great overview! I've been re-descovering shoegaze and dreampop lately, so this video fits right in. Keep up the good job!
Thanks, will do!
Loved this, thnk you so much
Great video. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You get it. I wasn't ready for this video to be SO good! And thank you for mentioning The Chameleons and Sarah Records, they hardly ever get mentioned by other videos on shoegaze!
Thanks for making this video. You did an awesome job!
Thank you!
I feel like ive been missing out big time having only just found this channel
I'm glad you've found my little bit of the internet too!
Great video!! 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good work, thank you, Stella!
Glad you liked it!
Some of my favorite modern shoegaze comes from the South Korean musician Parannoul. Definitely recommend to anyone into shoegaze or trying to get into shoegaze.
Great video!! Make one of post-rock in this style pleaseee
Great video, great work keep it up Stella!
Thank you! Will do!
I love your enthusiasm, Stella. I look forward to hearing your takes on different music genres and phenomenon.
Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!
Brilliant description of the shoegaze genre
I don't know i I need shoegaze until I discover the genre itself. It was being half sleep in front of the tv while its on. I watched a lot of videos about shoegaze and I am honestly saying this is my favourite! (thanks reddit) I discovered shoegaze thanks to blackgaze. Alcest is the group that gave me shoegaze. It made me so happy you mentioned them also other shoegaze subgenres too! Actually first I think " ah yes I am going to watch early shoegaze stuff and after mbv, slowdive, ride and it will end." But you surprised me. Mentioning 2010s shoegaze stuff, nugaze, lost in translation (god bless kevin shields), asian shoegaze, other kind of shoegaze bands etc... I was also surprised shoegaze is more populer in asian countries than i think. I know asian shoegaze groups but I didn't know really. I just looked your other videos and I am excited to watch all of it. Good job Stella!
And here is my recommendations for everyone. Enjoy!
Astrobrite - Crush (Ambient shoegaze)
The Angelic Process - Weighing souls with sand (doomgaze)
A Place to Bury Strangers - self titled ( post punk with shoegaze and noise pop)
Bowery Electric- Beat (ambient shoegaze)
Whirr - Fells Like You
Thanks for your geneuine reply! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@StellasEncounter 💮🌸
My discovery into Shoegaze maybe was backwards, I started with Black Metal and then discovered bands like Alcest and Sylvaine and then discovering Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and Love Spirals Downwards and the like. Blackgaze is still probably my go to genre for when I don't know what to listen to.
As long as you enjoy the journey, I'm not sure the path is important.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Have a great day!
Great video! Just about my favourite genre, and you capture the essence of the feelings evoked so well. So cheerfully presented, too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another one of my favourite genres that you covered with great detail. Good work! Thanks for the information, great research!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've nearly nailed that Somerzzett accent!!!❤❤😊
somerzzett?
@StellasEncounter Somerset is a county in South-west England and your accent was a close resemblance of it,which is a compliment as I spent many a happy summer at Glastonbury festival!!!🌠
hahahaha that's interesting, would like to check out glastonbury sometime myself!!!
This was an impressive video! I was really impressed at how you included many obscure early bands and took the story through to the present day!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How did I not know about your channel before? Brilliant…
great vid ❤
Great comprehensive overview 🙌🥳
Very kind of you!
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Have a great weekend!
beautiful video
That's very kind of you, thank you.
Have a great weekend!
I remember shoegaze starting, I went to the JAMC Psychocandy album launch and loved this type of stuff. Shoegaze was looked on as a joke by some in the music press, called Shoegaze because the band's spent most of their time looking down, at their shoes.
In the UK it was called indie.
Btw, all members of the Marychain went to the same school as me!
Yesterday I saw Yuragi live in Taipei and it's been insane! Trying to get into shoegaze now
welcome aboard!!
Great video
Thanks for all this good info, and thanks to commenters for more good info.
You deliver a very entertaining music genre educational experience. I could listen and look for hours straight! Awesome work Stella!
I'm glad you are exploring my channel. Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback, it's well received.
That was great!
I know and love about 90% of these bands.
I don't know how I found this, but, thank you.
Everything you said is true.
I won't assume everything I said/say is true, but thanks for giving me credits for that!
I'm staring at my bare feet, but i loved your video. I really appreciated your deep dive into the early influences, through classic phases, contemporary offshoots of the genre and Asian iterations. Thanks for an informative video.
Thank you and glad you liked it! And hahaha @ staring at feet!
Beautiful Stella Thank you
I'm glad you like it!
Hi Stella, another great video! It’s like you reached deep into my brain with a spoon and dug out a whole bunch of memories from the 90s. Love how you found the roots of the genre. So glad you mentioned Medicine too, who are amazing and quite underrated, especially their debut, Shot Forth Self Living! Brad Laner is a super nice guy-I met him when they played Maxwell’s in Hoboken. He showed me how he got that incredible distortion sound on his guitar. And the Wire tribute album Whore, wow. Someone mentioned Seefeel, (p.s. you’ll find a job someday) you could also add M83 to this subgenre. I am just about the biggest Ulrich Schnauss fan ever. So I’ll end this rambling post with a note that both Ride and Slowdive released fantastic “comeback” albums in 2017. Slowdive’s 2017 self-titled is like a time travel jump from 1995 to 2017 that proves the timelessness of this genre. P.S. My ears are still ringing from seeing MBV play in the 90s.
Thank you very much for the kind words, they're appreciated.
Thank you also for the suggestions.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
I absolutely love the shoe gazing scene. Got into them through Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush and My Bloody Valentine. Love the Boo Radleys and Spiritualized as well. But I appreciate you bringing out the early influences upon these bands. It all makes perfect sense. Great review !!
I was searching for some shoegaze music playlists & stumbled upon this video. Love the history explanation & hopefully to see more in future :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was such an enjoyable summary of a time I remember very dearly. Great retrospective
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a ton; just stumbled into your channel yesterday and spent a few hours with your videos and musical missives. I'm a big time 'gaze fan who came to the game super late, so was awesome to grab some new bands to add to my listening lists. Currently wandering through your Asian 'gaze suggests. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights on music.
Oh my - R.E.M. video! Could talk about them all day
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed the videos and got something from them as well. Thanks for watching :)
best band ever!
Awesome video Stella! I've been meaning to put together a playlist of Shoegaze groups I'm not to familiar with from early on and this video helped me get some new artists on there! Also the Asian Shoegaze scene is phenomenal. One of my favourite bands in the scene is For Tracy Hyde. Their music is very cinematic & sweet (The vocals help with that haha).Others I like are 17 years old & berlin wall, Lemon's Chair & Plasic girl in closet. Also since you mentioned the Asian Shoegaze channel it's sad but he deleted all the videos form his channel like a few days ago... Sad cause the channel has a ton of incredible albums.
Thanks for your comment! Some of the bands you mentioned I didn't really know, cool info! Oops the asian shoegaze channel's videos got deleted exactly a few days ago? Any reason? I'm bit upset about this as it has so many albums!! Good luck with your playlist btw! :)
@@StellasEncounter Oops I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to this haha. I forgot 🙃
I believe he quit the channel because he didn't want to do the channel anymore & I think some uploads had issues with copyrights/Some artists not wanting the album up on CZcams. But there are loads of Asian Shoegaze content on YT thankfully. But He'll be missed because his channel got me into so many amazing bands (My Dead Girlfriend & Yuragi to name a few) One thing I loved about this video was that you mentioned alot of smaller, more obscure artists!
Fantastic video Stella! I'm from that early era and still learned quite a bit. btw, Ride 'Nowhere' will always be my favorite shoegaze album. ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for this intro to a genre I've always been so near to, but never understood!
You're very welcome, and I'm very glad you've found it.
Have a great weekend, and Happy Halloween.
Excellent video. You're very good at this. I love your voice.
Thank you.
Thank you too!
I recommend the Spanish rock album "Electronauta" by Juana la Loca :))
Great vid. Love the shoegaze content. thank you for sharing 😍🥰😍
Thank you so much 🤗
