Lucinda Chua; Antidotes 2

Until I Fall' by Lucinda Chua, from the EP; Antidotes 2 (released May 7, 2021, 4AD) Breathtaking tune.There's a perceptible influence of David Sylvian
 

What is more beautiful tonight

Slowdive - Everything Is Alive

Slowdive’s fifth full-length, Everything Is Alive (released September 1, 2023) radiate a majestic and fragile beauty. It may only contain eight tracks, but Slowdive manage to craft an album of profound beauty full of emotional heft, which encompasses sadness, joy, gratitude, and ultimately optimism. There is an intimate, insular feeling to the record. Slow-paced and spacy-sounding dream pop, this album became an instant favorite of mine https://slowdive.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-alive
A Place to Bury Strangers; this Brooklyn trio drenches lovesick indie pop in sheets of deafening static and distortion. Heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of tinnitus-inducing noise-rock, shoegaze. Plenty of bands have tapped the trebly, ecstatic side of shoegaze in recent years, but none have imbued it with this band's frustrated aggression or lacerating feedback Easy Life from the album Rare Meat - Demos And Rarities 2003-2017

Snowstorm by ▲ı▼ı▲

New wave/electronic beats and sounds (almost shoegaze but not quite) and ethereal vocal harmonies fuse in this dark yet playful EP based on a Galaxie 500 tune. Edgy, eerily calming mood that is carefully curated. Electric and experimental, with haunting themes. The dark imagery of wayward romance punctuated by angst and heartache wraps you around its finger, pulling you deeper and deeper into the Snowstorm https://eschaton23.bandcamp.com/album/snowstorm

ykymr – City

A city that wakes up.
The sun illuminating the last leaves of thirsty trees.
The dark has forgotten a book of unresolved questions.
Read, write, listen, speak and love … as long as you can.

La bèl was born in March 1, 2010 (Biella/Rome). La bèl loves the
experimentation, the sound of footsteps on the snow, internet &
technology, the spring, the sun on the face, listen to music before
falling asleep, being alone in the middle of the night,the cries of
children that go out of school,the smell of the rain on the warm
asphalt,the time of waiting, the moment before each arrival…
