Hat es in den letzten Jahren ein Shoegaze Revival gegeben? Nun, ich glaube schon. Immerhin haben es selbst die alten Heroen von My Bloody Valentine vor zwei Jahren geschafft, das Album „mbv“ zu veröffentlichen; nach immerhin 20 Jahren Wartezeit.
Aber es gab auch viele neue Bands, die auf diese Musikrichtung aufmerksam wurden und sie für ihre Zwecke umformten oder gleich adaptierten. Aus der jüngsten Vergangenheit fallen mir da zum Beispiel die Slow Down Molasses ein.
Das Label ear to ear Records aus Wales hat jetzt einen umfangreichen Sampler mit insgesamt 30 Shoegaze-Songs zusammengestellt. Diesen gibt es als Download zum frei wählbaren Preis.
Download: Revolution – The Shoegaze Revival
„Revolution – The Shoegaze Revival“ is an epic, truly international 30-track compilation comprised of outstanding original material. Such bands have set the stage for shoegaze pioneers’ return to today’s scene by upholding their wall of sound and painting it with breathtaking colour. Some of these bands are also ‘first wave’ but have remained underground, while some are newbies – the ‘second wave’ of shoegaze.
This is not a shoegaze tribute album to MBV or Slowdive, or even The Beatles. There is simply so much greatness to the new wave of shoegaze that we’re focusing on original tracks, which showcase the immense talent of the featured bands. For some, this album may be the best shoegaze soundtrack they’ll encounter in 2015. At minimum, this will serve as a fantastic introduction to these new sounds and happily tide existing shoegaze fans over for quite some time.
