Thanks for all the guidance. I've been downloading a bunch of music I probably would never have known about if not for reading your newsletters. Great stuff. Appreciate it.

I absolutely love this! I’ve never heard of Baby Formula. Will investigate! Ecke’s ‘God’s Eyes’ single is a sublime homage to MBV https://eckewu.bandcamp.com/album/gods-eyes. City Flanker play actual MBV covers in their live set. And I think Rubur are phenomenal. I’m still hoping for a red(er) Loveless after the Japanese yellow and superb Korean blue versions.

Do Faye Wong and Cocteau Twins collaborations count as shoegaze? I’m saying yes! https://simonrpaul.medium.com/kindred-spirits-faye-wong-and-cocteau-twins-463cb8c3a8f8

Ah nice, will add that Ecke track to the playlist - thanks!

Faye Wong x Cocteau Twins definitely feels more like dream-pop to me, but really, who cares much about the difference? I'm always happy for an excuse to play some Faye Wong anyway
