This is hands down my favorite music channel on RUclips. I always discover so much cool stuff through you guys. Another amazing video!
Thank you so much! 💙
many more to come! we appreciate you homie!
Thanks for a great video. Trip down memory lane for me. I hit my late teens during this period and was lucky enough to live in London and see many of the English and a couple of the visiting American bands live in venues like the Clarendon, Subterrania and the Crypt, now sadly long gone. Remember MBV being very loud. Loop and K of D were particular favs of mine. AR Kane, I agree need more love...When I first heard "Baby Milk Snatcher" it sounded like nothing else on earth.....
a nice set of resources for new artists/songs for me to explore - merci.
I am so obsessed with your channel! I have many praises.
1. You helped me get more into shoegaze. Thank you for covering all these bands!
2. Documentaries and info on the bands! Much appreciated.
3. The videos covering shoegaze from countries outside the U.S. and the U.K. are awesome. Please do more of them.
4. One of my favourite videos is probably your Top 10 Shoegaze Albums, I like how Nate describes the sounds and why he likes them. The snippets from the tracks on those albums are also a nice touch.
I love everyone who works on this channel , thank you so much for your services.
this made my day! thanks homie 😄
@@synthsnail Much love!
made my day too 🥺💙
@lani6127 Thank you! I shared this comment with the whole team and it meant so much to all of us. We are so happy you enjoy our content!
Best regards
So much great music that is (mostly) finding a new and young audience today. If you would’ve told me 30+years ago that a band like Slowdive would actually become quite popular, I would’ve thought something strange must have happened. Thanks for giving some of the lesser known acts like House of Love and Breathless some love.
are they actually popular though? if you look at their songs on youtube, the most popular one has been played 8.3 million times. really popular songs these days can get that many views in a week. l listen to songs whose videos have over a billion views on youtube every day from multiple artists, and a lot of them are not particularly well known. Becky G has over 8 billion views for her videos here, and i saw her recently as a club-sized venue in Boston.
@@perfectallycromulent I think it depends on the context. In the grand scheme of everything out there, yeah Slowdive isn't as popular as them. But in indie/alternative rock and shoegaze spaces? They are popular.
Although MBV are untouchable and definetely the godfathers of this musical approach, I'm so happy you started with A.R. Kane, and that you also included KOD. Both bands were unfairly overlooked. I'm very happy to see that black and queer representation is now visible. My only critic is I would have started earlier, with great EPs as "The new record by my bloody valentine" MBV 1986, "Lollita EP" by AR Kane 1987, "Love's easy tears" by Cocteau twins, ans also records from alternative american bands released between 1987- 1989 such as Sonic Youth, DIno Jr, Husker Du. All of them helped shaping the genre.
Thanks for your feedback 💙 I totally agree with you on the black and queer representation and I'm glad these bands are getting more reconition nowadays. All the bands you mentioned were featured in our previous video about the origins of shoegaze. We had to draw the line somewhere between shoegaze and proto-shoegaze/influences - this was a bit challenging obviously as genres continously develop over time.

@@StainedGlassStories Nina, thank you very much for answering. I wasn't aware of the previous video, so my apologies. I will definetely see it too. Keep up with the good work. Thankss!!!!
Thanks guys love this channel
Great video, looking forward to part 2, hoping to see Rollerskate Skinny on that list, they only had two albums but they were both brilliant and the first came out in 93.
Great stuff! Looking forward to part 2
Amazing video, and a even better start to this series. Learning the bands in this video was a treat.
When you guys get to 1991, I really hope you guys talk about "The Pod" by Ween.
Great Video! I grew up on Shoegaze. In fact, my ears are still ringing from seeing Lush, Ride, JAMC, MBV, and Cocteau Twins back then.
Excellent video. Thank you for the Kitchens of Distinction love. Strange Free World is my favorite album of all time narrowly beating out Disintegration by the Cure. And also yes it was good to include Lush. Spooky is just brilliant.
thank you so much for making these videos i wanna share this with my family some of them arent into secular music
love this! The next part is my record collection, can't wait! I could argue over Lush, but other than that, gold!
i've been listening to shoegaze for a third of my life now and to see a video namedropping bands i haven't even heard of is insane and such a welcome surprise after an endless stream of videos about the same 5 bands presented as if it's novel information. great video, thank you. listening to velvet and velvet dolls and ultra vivid scene for the first time tonight
Thank you so much! 💙
As always, great video!
Thank you so much for saying that!
Great video - I remember Starflyer 59 from the PAcific Northwest too!
Man what a period of music!!! I loved it so much!!!
Good stuff. Sometimes the algorithm works to my liking. It's nice to see that you mentioned some of the more overlooked shoegaze bands, such as Loop and The Telescopes. Lush is essential as well! I like to entertain the idea that Kevin Shields and Emma Anderson wrote quite a few songs about each other.
I'm also pleased to see Spacemen 3 on here. The Perfect Prescription is one of the greatest psych rock albums of all time, I love it even more than the excellent Playing with Fire. I also recommend Lilys' debut album album, In the Presence of Nothing. It's great MBV-style shoegaze.
Yay, this was only part 1 -- now I have something to live for.
lazy comment for that algo
Appreciate it Dale!
Real
Loop’s FADE OUT is one of my top 10 records ever
Shoegaze forever
Agreed!
Love the series! Any chance we could get Apple Music and Spotify Playlists? Would be awesome to have one for each video in the channel.
That's a great idea! We'll work on that :).
Yessss
Shoegaze adjacent=Dream Pop
That can definitely be the case !
Dreampop is the mom and shoegaze are the shy, noisy kids 😊
one way mirror is one of my fave, i chased after that guitar tone for months
I need part 2 NOW
I have ever heard of this genre or any of the bands. Always something new.
start with Ride - Nowhere, Swervedriver - Raise and My Bloody Valentine - Loveless - listen to them as full albums, as intended. Enjoy.
Welcome to the gorgeous world of shoegaze
Great albums to start with!
Hadn't heard of Breathless before - looking forward to checking them out!
It's such a shame Lush lost their dreamy sound for their last two albums. It made them less special.
(Advice to the writer of this video: don't use a word unless you know exactly what it means, and don't say it out loud until you know how to pronounce it)
Great overview. Would love to have seen boo radleys - Ichabod & I (1989); MBV - The New Record By (‘86) & Sunny Sunday Smile (‘87). These three get zero respect since the artists themselves look down on them but they are brilliant and genre defining.

Thanks!
Thank you Henry for your generosity! Best regards!
- Nate from Stained Glass Stories
I adore Shoegaze, but personally do lean more towards Dreampop side, which is my favourite genre of music as a whole :-)
Please make a documentary focusing on Chapterhouse 🙏🙏
Don't overlook Blind Mr. Jones in an upcoming video! Not many people seem to know about them. They incorporated flute with Shoegaze guitars.
wooooo!!
Shoegaze: psychedelia, wall of sound, microphony, Velvet Underground, post-punk, Cocteau Twins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, some bands add that Madchester thing, that's It, you have shoegaze!
id love to see a video on the veldt. theyre way too under the radar
The racism of the day on the part of their label squashed the release of the album they had made with Robin Guthrie in 1989 and prevented them from touring with the Cocteau Twins. Doesn’t matter, the track Everlasting Gobstopper from it is one of the best dreampop/shoegaze songs ever written and any list/video/article that attempts to speak authoritatively on the genre that doesn’t mention them or this song is hard fro take seriously tbh.
thanks for review. checked some of your videos and got there are mostly the same bands. still don't understand where is CURVE?
wait for part 2&3 🩵
yeee
I'd love it if the programmers over at DKFM Classic (1980-2000) would play more of these. They're not bad in general, but unfortunately it's "Do you like Cranes? Great! We play them every 30 minutes!"
Dynamo - Soda Stereo the best!!!!
Worth mentioning as a connecting item. Isn't it a pity is a George Harrison compotition from 1969 and featured in his debut album all things must pass.
The world should be at peace, not matter language, religion or views.
Very powerful
Nice job, I was always a big fan of House of Love. I was hoping they do a lot more than what they were able to do. Forgot all about ultra vivid scene. I was wondering what happened to them. I do agree with Mickey berenyi shoe gaze a stupid name for the genre and the great music . It should be called something more like postmodern punk or sonic Impressionism.
Shoegaze is vastly better than postmodern punk and sonic Impressionism.
@@jamespohl-md2eq The call it thoatwobblermangrove. The term was use as an insult by some tosser "journalist".
@@jamescaron6465 I’m aware of the origin. That still doesn’t change what I wrote.
waiting for alisons halo💙
stay tuned 💙
Wow, I just mentioned them to a co-worker a couple of days ago. As someone old enough to have listened to most of this way back when, I’m thrilled that so much of this music is finally getting a wider and younger audience to enjoy it’s magnificence. Still, a group like A.R. Kane still sounds like a weird amalgamation of the past and future as interpreted by alien music makers.
I know Miki Berenyi doesn't like the term shoegaze, but like, get over it? Like it or not that is the consensus name of the genre the band is in. It's like someone who's job is preparing other people's tax returns saying they don't like the word accountant. Sorry, I guess, but that IS what you are whether you like the term or not.
You are so right
I think she's also troubled with Lush being labelled as shoegaze when she didn't think they really were: when they played live they were quite loud and raucous and their songs were made more ethereal and dreamy in the studio, especially on Scar and Spooky. She didn't want people to be constantly thinking the band was one thing when it wasn't. When Britpop blew up and everyone started crapping on shoegaze, she got a lot of personal abuse for showing up at parties and things: Graham Coxon told her to get out of a party for someone she'd been friends with for years because Lush were not seen as part of the new scene, despite the fact it's possible that there are no Britpop songs more quintessentially Britpop than Single Girl and Shake Baby Shake.
No need to try to define what 'Shoegaze' is, we all know what it is. By you definition you could include a lot of Doommetal bands etc. while missing out on bands like Slowdive. Especially their self-titled album, it's 100% Shoegaze,. Yet would'n check any of your definitions.. It's more then just the 'sound'.
I love Russian shoegaze!
Shoegze was an insult terminology until the last 15 years or so. Ie musicians who have to look down etc.
