ROUND THEME: SHOEGAZE

And the last round before shifting into a different layout is shoegaze. Be wary of the band that I've already heard tho.

Rules:
- Song has to be under 9 minutes (I'll listen to only 9 minutes mark)
- 2 of the total participants will be eliminated each round if the next rule didn't apply.
- any songs that I rate below 2.5 is an elimination no matter what.
- It has to be from the album that I haven't rated [and hasn't been used from the previous round.]
- [not really new but i haven't include it here] You can change your rec before everyone's rec is up.
- Please include the album name and link (If not on spotify) if possible

Bloongaze
"The Alarmist"

GAZE INTENSITY: Barren landscape
Taking a trip of a memory lane where the time was hard and now I'm moved on from that phase. This song is a reminder on how good it feels on knowing that I'm better that I was before. The composition in here is full of beauty. I'm digging this a lot.

4.3
4Hey Elbow
Every Other

Sniffgaze
"Outro"

GAZE INTENSITY: Gecko?
This is like one of the weirdest shit I've heard. But it's not necessarily bad, it's just risky.

3.5 (yep it was risky)
5Rumskib
Rumskib

Tacosgaze hi 22
"Hearts on Fire"

GAZE INTESITY: Creamy
Blissful and distorted vocal creaming over the shrieking-guitar loop. I guess that's the most memorable part of the song.

3.7
6klimt 1918
Dopoguerra

ComeToDaddygaze
"Sleepwalk"

GAZE INTENSITY: Gothic
A mix of Gothic Dark Wave and Alcest-styled guitar passage. This is definitely not a blackgaze song, but it slaps as much.

3.8
7Trailer Trash Tracys
Ester

dbizzlesgaze
"You Wish You Were Red"

GAZE INTENSITY: just look at that dang artwork
That's exactly how it feels when I'm listening to this. I'm reverberating into infinity. That care free vocal is highly befitting of such song.

4.1
8Candy Claws
Ceres And Calypso In The Deep Time

Vaxxigaze
"White Seal"

GAZE INTENSITY: TROPICAL
Ever heard the sound of happiness? I just did with this one. I'm overwhelmed. I've been meaning to check this album, but this one really blew me away. The breakbeat-styled composition is a platform that makes these layers of effects and instrumentals to be perfect. I'm lost at words.

5.0 [An obvious winner?]
9Planning for Burial
Leaving

Soundsgaze
"Memories You'll Never Feel Again"

GAZE INTENSITY: Drowning
This is like that PacificUV track, but only sadness.

3.7
10Lyrae
Tsaluyi

Archeliriongaze
"Kuunux"

GAZE INTENSITY: Doomed
I thought this was going to be heavy. I was wrong.

3.6 [tiebreaker]

L4titudes
"Space"

GAZE INTENSITY: Pleasant
This is a rather solid gaze track. Good progression & vocal, but not much of effects tho.

3.6 [tiebreaker]

Conmaniacgaze and please use (Artist - "title") goddamnit
"DIRT"

GAZE INTENSITY: Unexpectedly loud
Dat transition tho.

Moving Away

TIEBREAKER - Aaron
"Dragging"

An enjoyable track that doesn't have too much subtlety in it. Highly enjoyable nonetheless.

3.7 [PASS]
14Seefeel
Quique

TIEBREAKER - l4t

Droney track with a hypnotic bassline that just keeps repeating itself throughout 9 mins runtime. But it never tires you out for some reason. I don't see myself coming back to this track though.

3.6 [eliminated fam]
