Shoegazing is a habit of confluence with the music being played. In this episode, we are not going to experience exact shoegaze. Anyhow, it will open its arms from time to time in each of four albums.

1. A Reason To Travel – Concrete Sunrise (2023)

🇩🇰 The third album from the Copenhagen solo project takes us on a journey through a city that has been razed to the ground. Crooked ruins are slowly turning into dust, surrounded by calmness and timelessness. Quiet sound flow is gradually gaining strength. In the distance, it is reflected from the skeletons of buildings and returns as a rumble, decomposed into unsteady strings.

2. San Pedro’s Vision – Elysium (2022)

🇬🇧 The fog clears slightly and massive stars appear in the sky, born from dust and nothingness. On this album, the British band combines the sound of early psychedelic rock with their own vision of the world in all its ghostliness and incomprehensibility. It’s a trip to a distant place existing in all times.

3. Lightrain – Aer (2022)

🇩🇪 The vibrations are getting somewhat heavier and looped as soon as we turn to this album by the German trio. For more than four years of existence, it was time to give birth to a debut album. And there is indeed something to dive into and stare at!

4. Collective Dreams – Yup (2023)

🇺🇸 Let’s end our contemplation session on an uplifting note. The Texas four invites us all to dream together, turning on their EP and thinking about our own. Perhaps our thoughts and feelings could intersect and become collective?
