Shoegaze, a genre that emerged from the 1980s, remains incredibly relevant today. Often described as dreamlike music, it is characterized by dense yet melodic, multi-layered guitar walls created with the help of electronic effects and synthesizers. These compositions frequently alternate with quieter passages that rely more on reverb, flanger, and feedback effects rather than distortion.

Shoegaze is alive and well! With my playlists on Spotify, there are countless bands from around the world waiting to be discovered.
