Our Take

Prepare to be swept away by the tidal wave of distortion, as Various Artists take us on a sonic journey through the best of shoegaze in their latest compilation album "Waves Of Distortion." This coloured vinyl edition, exclusively available at indies, is a must-have for any serious collector or music enthusiast.

The album kicks off with classics from the early '90s that defined the genre, such as My Bloody Valentine's ethereal "Soon" and Ride's jangly "Vapour Trail." The shimmering guitars and hazy vocals wash over you like a dream, transporting you to a world of sonic bliss.

As we move into the 2000s, the compilation showcases the evolution of shoegaze with tracks from bands like Slowdive and Lush. The dreamy landscapes and swirling melodies create a sense of nostalgia while still feeling fresh and exciting.

But it's not just a trip down memory lane – the album also features newer bands like Beach House and DIIV, proving that shoegaze is alive and well in the 21st century. The innovative production and introspective lyrics on these tracks add a modern twist to the classic shoegaze sound.

In conclusion, "Waves Of Distortion" is a must-listen for any fan of shoegaze music. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the genre, this compilation offers something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and let the waves of distortion wash over you.
