my favorite heroin addict

It's their best album.

this decade? Probably not. Alvvays slightly, but not really.
Harriet Wheeler > everyone

so fucking underrated it's a crime.
It's like Deftones would go Slowdive and had some emo influences at the same time - they were way ahead of their times

I'd say the only Deftones-like track on there is C.O.R., which sounds like an intentional parody. But it's a very great album, the songs sound concise and punchy, and I love the hopeful mood of it. Not a single skippable track too.

Decent Buttrock

does anyone else make shoegaze with the kind of harsher, sharper sound that Medicine does? not quite pure noise rock, still droney and space-filling, but also not 'soft' the way dream sounds

nice to see it back

Skywave and APTBS use that kind of noises very often, but their songs are more punchy. Same with Screen Vinyl Image. You should try Ceremony (East Coast), but their songs are way more "poppy" and less experimental in sound than Medicine's.
And you always have JAMC and bands like The Raveonettes. Xin Li Supreme is the harsher noise of this kind.

It's like Deftones

Shut the fuck up already. Why are Deftones fans so delusional

this new wave of shoegaze and zoomgazers is fucking insufferable.

check out some Loop maybe? Black Sun has one of my favorite fuzz sounds of all time

not pic related I hope? A lot of those are very solid

genuinely such an awesome blend of the more power pop side of emo and the scale and texture of shoegaze

still blown away by Red Sea every time. Crazy that Ben Shapiro is a drummer on this

Saars, any indian shoegaze aka poogaze?

When will it come to streaming, I must be spoonfed

swoony is so fucking great
