3rd March: Catherine Wheel - Chrome (shoegaze, 1993)
I’m gonna slide this one in with a hot take for the best 90’s shoegaze album. At the least,
it’s got so much more going on than the canonical few. It isn’t just one mood - it gets
heavy, proggy, psychedelic, noisy and dreamy all within a short run of tracks, and most of
them have good hooks to top it all off. They don’t seem to be bound by the strict genre
requirements of the shoegaze movement and it allows the songs to come in and out of noisy
obscurity more naturally, often just sounding like slightly artsy alt-rock.
8.2 (6th listen)
