The shoegaze masters


Lately I've been looking into shoegaze, this branch of the rock genre that focuses on the manipulation and distortion of guitar-driven sound. Somewhat like rock gone funny with Brian Eno on drugs. It's the most interesting genre I've heard. Since I like ambient music, and since rock may sometimes not be my thing at times, shoegaze is that in-between phase of rock and ambient, with a hint of experimental and minimalism. Truly music that is out of this world, and which was completely ahead of its time in 1991.

That's it for today, I'm incredibly exhausted from yesterday's friend's gig. A truly new experience.
