For those of you who are still wondering what exactly the mysterious “shoegaze” is, here are ten albums which beautifully encapsulate the genre. Shoegaze is a sub-genre of indie rock, often referred to as “dream pop” laden with heavy effects, spacey sounds and neo-psychedelia. The name was coined from the observation that bands of the genre tended to perform on stage detached from the audience, enthralled in the music and yes… gazed at their shoes.

Psychocandy, The Jesus and Marychain

A shoegaze album that came out before the 90s and the public rise of the genre. Dark and grungy guitar effects combine with dreamier lyrics and melodies to create an album which deeply influenced many shoegaze artists to come.

Loveless, My Bloody Valentine

Loveless is an iconic shoegaze album, with a romantic, psychedelic feel and bittersweet melodies.

Souvlaki, Slowdive

Souvlaki is an album to lose yourself to this summer. The guitar effects drift off into the air and carry you with it.

Methodrone, The Bryan Jonestown Massacre

For more rocky, heavier psychedelia.

Lush, Gala

An important part of the shoegaze cannon.

Mescal Head, Swervedriver

A little less dreamy and a little more foreceful. A shoegaze album which rocks hard.

Third Wave, The Telescopes

Very trippy, sometimes creepy and a unique and beautifully chaotic shoegaze album from the 21st century.

Ride, Nowhere

An absolute masterpiece rich with dark and ethereal sounds.

In Ribbons, Pale Saints

Pale Saints’ second album was ranked on the Top 50 Shoegaze albums of all time by Pitchfork.

Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space, Spiritualized 

A beautifully dreamy album which tells the story of a love and loss that is both deeply personal and romantic as well as detached and surreal.

Organizers of the FYF Fest, which was supposed to take place on July 21st and 22nd in Los Angeles, have announced on Tuesday that the festival has been canceled. The 2018 edition was set to celebrate festival’s 15th anniversary and had Janet Jackson and Florence + the Machine as the headliners.

“After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel FYF Fest 2018,” said the organizers on FYF Fest’s official website and social media. “Our team of many women and men have worked tirelessly on this event for many years but felt unable to present an experience on par with the expectations of our loyal fans and the Los Angeles music community this year. We will be announcing some special local shows soon, featuring some of the amazing artists from the 2018 line up.”

Other names that were booked for the FYF Fest 2018 include The XX, My Bloody Valentine, St. Vincent, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Future, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Car Seat Headrest, and Skepta.

Although the organizers failed to offer a full disclosure on the reasons for the cancellation, Billboard reported that FYF Fest struggled with low ticket sales.

FYF Fest was established as an annual three-day music festival by music promoter Sean Carlson. The festival showcased a variety of music genres through four stages set in Los Angeles Exposition Park. Following the 2017 edition of the festival, Carlson decided to step away and hand the organization to Goldenvoice’s Jennifer Yacoubian.
