BuiltInThe50s Even if you pay a couple of quid for this sampler, you can't go wrong. Already love Contrast & Seasurfer's contributions.

about

Here's something a little different from the Active Listener. You've probably noticed a few new shoegaze titles have been working their way into the reviews section on The Active Listener, so we've put together this sampler of the best shoegaze material that's been submitted to us.

Please support the individual artists by visiting their pages and purchasing their releases.

Special thanks to Wyatt from www.saintmarierecords.com

Aw Man this album reeks of dirty eerie goth vibes. Very difficult to pick a favourite track. It's fantastic beat driven with bass to rival Jah Wobble and production to equal Youth. I cannot sing this albums praises enough. It's a breath of dark dank air. Well Done. jazzberto
