Setting for my evenings of obsessive listening to this girl Tamaryn. I love how her voice is not fragile, but strong against the beautiful though rather familiar-sounding music. Hope you’re all well!

This is a single from swedish pop/shoegaze band Bolywool, there are some downloads left too. I hope they will be more noticed when their next album is released in March, they really deserve to be.
I dont have enough shoegaze tips right now to make you a full playlist, but I’d like to share a new genre, which I’ve been exploring for some weeks. For all of you who have Spotify (or a brother’s account to use): vinterflykt
Zeit is a comparatively new Swedish band - this is their debut album. Best thing that has happened today was when I realized that they are from Gothenburg, where I’m moving in September. The autumn seems so much brighter now. This is music I will love to see live. Simple but with suspense and emotion. When only listening to the album though I cant help feeling that occasional sounds from outside the beaten range would have made it more interesting. But hopefully you’ve already opened the link and played the music and my description is superfluous and I’ll go read something instead of babbling.
i haven’t posted anything for a while, and this is going to be very short. i just needed to mention another great finding, Highspire, because I love their album Aquatic and it’s the best new music I’ve heard in some time. hope to be back here more regularly soon
myspace, and yes they are at spotify
clrcrtq asked: thanks for the radio dept. references! and for your wonderful blog & spotify playlists. <3
tack!!! Nowadays I make the playlists for you a little, I am happy that you like them
Radio Dept. quotes sources part 2
This is the one in the beginning of “Heaven’s on Fire”. I didn’t have time to search through the movie to find it in it’s context, but it’s from “1991: the year punk broke” (it is also on youtube). I like that one better than style wars of course since Sonic Youth is unarguably one of the coolest bands ever.
Have you listened to the sources of the quotes in Radio dept.’s Clinging to a scheme? This is the one in “Never Follow Suit”. Start watching at 05:30. Or watch all of it, it’s a good documentary. I love the way this guy and also his mum talks. been watching it over and over
Resplandor released an excellent, very shoegaze, album called Pleamar in 2008. It was even produced by Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) (!). Hope you’ll like it. I do, a lot.
Their Myspace. Pleamar is at Spotify too, here it is in my January11-playlist, which is, of course, still in progress.
ed add: i dont understand why i never manage to do the links right. hope it works now
