Among top 5 albums for me in 2024. Overlooked, just like this year’s Duster.

Yeah this is one of my faves of the year. Way better than the Duster album though. :-P

Different vibes. I like how trippy the new Duster album is. Not that their others weren't, but "In Dreams" somehow got further down my soul.

I'd rank it in my top 600 for sure



Really struggle with shoegaze these days...getting close to 'my least favourite of the acceptable genres' lol



Might revisit before publishing my top 100 here on Monday (it's a doozie)

I can get that Doof, this one has the songwriting heft that I think a lot of modern gaze misses though.

I’m in Phoenix, safe from the blaze. DIIV frontman lost everything though. Those lyrics from “Brown Paper Bag” ring hauntingly literal now.

goddamn this is gorgeous. love the kinda slowcore vibe it has. really memorable hooks and songwriting for gaze. some really sweet builds. the whispery vox remind me of the dude from lsd and the search for god. man great stuff. needs more listens too. and gotta check out their other stuff!



my favs- in amber, raining on your pillow, t/t, somber the drums, soul-net (wow)

This type of dreamy shoegazey slowcore usually doesn't do much for me sadly. A few exceptions but just not many I dig for the most part. :[
