Minnesota based indie-rock shoegaze band she’s green released their debut album, swallowtail, on July 10th. The whimsical seven-track LP is filled with wonder, contemplation, and beautiful instrumental arrangements. We spoke with two members of she’s green, Teddy Nordvold (bass) and Raines Lucas (guitar), to hear about their indie-music hot takes, favorite venues, the prevalence of nature in the band’s aesthetic, and more.

Two things can be true at once. We can be realistic about the present and trust that things will turn out well. San Francisco post-rock/shoegaze act Analog Dream explores that middle ground on their new EP The Shape Of Us.

Bandcamp Friday is back after a short break, so we’re here too with our recommendations!

brightmoon, a husband and wife alt-rock shoegaze duo based out of Long Beach, California, released their debut EP after two decades of musical collaboration. The couple, Becca Popkin and Billy Mohler were founding members of War Tapes, a rock band that toured with iconic acts like The Smashing Pumpkins and Tiger Army. In our profile, Popkin shares the inspiration behind the duo’s name, transitioning from being in a band to a duo, and the future of brightmoon and their other projects. 

On their new single "Velvet Knives," Analog Dream turns betrayal into a power shift, flipping the narrator from victim to the one in control. The lyrical shift is carried by a sonic push and pull between heavy guitars and drums. This is the band's third single off their newly announced EP The Shape Of Us, out August 20 on Soundvsystem Records.

Returning from a five year hiatus, New England based band, 7-11 Jesus is back with a brand new record, White Noise. The band’s unique sound mixes alternative rock and shoegaze. Founding member and lead vocalist August Darula shares the meaning behind the album’s title, the progression of the band, and tour life. Read more in our artist profile. 

Spirit Hotel's debut Rêve is an examination of the mind. It’s vivid, disorienting, and hard to shake. Fronted by Leila May Hauck, the record moves between haunting and harmonious, mirroring Hauck's own fascination with dreams, memory, and the unreliable narrator within all of us. We sat down with Leila to talk about turning visions into songs, the eerie pull of the Farfisa organ, daily creative rituals, and what it means to make music from a place you're not sure you can fully trust.

Today we premiere the new single from San Francisco indie rock project Analog Dream "Dystopian". The song is a charged, atmospheric single blending shoegaze guitars, driving rhythms, and layered harmonies. The track confronts today's social and political climate head-on, while holding onto hope with its defiant message: it's not over. Listen now.

Austin shoegaze artist Bee Blackwell is one to watch. Her latest New Familiar digs deeper into alt rock and emo with crunchier guitars, and her standout set at this year's New Colossus Festival turned heads. With a fall tour with Julia Wolf on the horizon, she's headed for bigger stages. Read our Q&A on her songwriting, gear, and more.

Pillowprince are an LA-based slowcore trio making music built around heaviness you can feel. Their debut EP pretty, baby! envelops you slowly just before it bites. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Olivia Lee to talk gear obsessions, cinematic songwriting, and finding hope for the music industry.
