2016: The gift that keeps on giving

0 Posted by - October 3, 2016 - Meta

Not since the golden era of 2009-2011 have so many magnificent shoegaze albums been released in such rapid succession.

2016, I can’t keep up.

So far this year, we’ve been blessed with new releases by the following bands:

  • LSD and the Search for God
  • Nothing
  • bloody knives
  • Yuck
  • Pinkshinyultrablast
  • Hammock
  • Autolux
  • Mogwai
  • Deftones
  • Explosions in the Sky
  • M83
  • Ask For Joy
  • SULK
  • 65daysofstatic
  • The Verve (reissues)
  • Night School

Edited to add:

  • Pity Sex
  • DIIV
  • STFU

While releases by Autolux and M83 were unconventional enough to register no more than a blip on this radar, we’re still eagerly awaiting:

  • Airiel
  • Alcest
  • The Radio Department
  • A Shoreline Dream
  • Seasurfer (just announced).

Edited to add:

  • Tears Run Rings
  • Blueneck
  • The Emerald Down
  • The Stargazer Lilies

I can’t keep up.

Tell me what I’ve missed.
