Started listening to STAR again after a few years, turns out they released a new album a month ago. Real simple shoegaze that's just really well done coming from the dude behind lovesliescrushing and astrobrite.

This group that got their name from astrobrite has a perfect first ep and album. The Naked Souls is another great band. For blackgaze Velvet Cacoon is it.

For anyone into shoegazey noise/ambient I can rec Jefre Cantu-Ledsema, and a few of Jeff Witscher's projects like Impregnable and Secret Abuse

Edited because I forgot to mention Rollerskate Skinny, real hidden gem imo. Kevin Shields' brother played drums on their first album even lol
