based Johnny



this is peak shoegaze and you nailed all the right reasons why

it's a rainy morning here and nothing feels more appropriate than to jam these lads

I fail to see where Loveless has a plain 90s alt rock sound but there is def plenty of other gaze stuff that does (and it usually rules too).

"with a more plain 90s alternative rock sort of sound and that's when it falls flat for me"

yeah, I can't hear that for Loveless (or here), but I do get it for stuff like Ride big time

that's the kinda definitely wrong but nevertheless cool and definitely underrepresented take that must be treasured and conserved immediately

what’s interesting about avalyn is that many do call it one of the best shoegaze songs of all time and it was basically just a jam

Wait so you’re declaring 5 the best EP having not heard this? That do be rather shortsighted...

Am I the only one who kind of forgets Outside Your Room even exists? Such an odd release, that.

i actually love outside your room bc i consider So Tired to be one of their most underrated songs

I do love “So Tired” it’s just that I never feel tempted to listen to Outside Your Room as a whole.

‘with a more plain 90s alternative rock sort of sound and that's when it falls flat for me’

Maybe leans more towards dream pop but do Galaxie 500 fit this descriptor? I should’ve paid attention to the ordering of the tags - ‘indie rock > dream pop > shoegaze’ - yeah I messed up (not they’re always accurate).

^ Primal is also really, really great, but idk, it doesn't have the same out of time feel

primal is like if avalyn was dynamic at all, also does have out of time layers for sure but i get what u mean. if we are taking slowdive songs and debating if any of them are the greatest shoegaze song of all time, then primal is that by a whole lot for me. it is a messy angsty dynamic masterpiece and honestly is better than the rest of jfad combined
