Kevin Shields - 2 (La La La Human Steps) *rare song

 

GENRE : shoegaze, noise, ethereal, dream pop, experimental pop

RECORD LABEL : unknown

For all you shoegazers out there - this song was part of a collaboration Kevin Shields did with the Canadian contemporary dance company La La La Human Steps, simply titled '2'. Beautiful, noisy, majestic, shimmering shoegaze-y goodness from one of the true masters of his field.

For those who don't know, Kevin Shields is the lead singer/guitarist of legendary shoegaze rock band My Bloody Valentine. If you haven't checked them out, you seriously need to.

Grouper - Shade (2021)

GENRE : experimental pop, ambient, singer-songwriter, noise, drone

RECORD LABEL : Kranky

Grouper is the music project of experimental songwriter/musician Liz Harris. Her latest release is 'Shade', and it's my personal favourite work of hers to date. Beautiful, bare, stripped-down, sleepy, introspective folk music mixed with tape loops and ambient noise experimentations. It's almost unbearably raw and intimate, with room sounds, squeaky fret noises and owls hooting in the background. I personally hope she releases more albums like this.
