Features
shoegaze is meant to describe a scene of bands whose overwhelming amount of pedals led them to simply stare at their shoes while playing on stage
guitar distortion, feedback, dreamy layered vocals
feels like waves of sound building a wall encase you
close to dream pop, post punk and lo-fi
shoegazers are looking coy and pre-occupied on stage

How much distortion do you want?
Yes.

Just watch and listen…
