More Info
A magical journey through the history of the shoegaze scene from its inception to the current exponents on the scene championing the sound.
Waves of Distortion brings in some of the original 'gazer' classics, incredible and timeless tunes. Their fantastic 1991 single ‘Flying’, and Spirea X’s ‘Chlorine Dream’ from the same year are both indicative of the post-rave psychedelia that coloured everything at the time and fit perfectly within the shoegaze scene at the time.
Since the turn of the century, successive generations have returned to their sound, taking it to new and exciting places. Thanks to the internet and streaming and listening to music without context the echo got louder and louder. This was more than just a rebirth; it was a reaffirmation that this hard to define genre is here to stay. It is why we are here now, all these years later, listening to a compilation that joins the dots between all of this stuff, from the beginning to the present day. The beautiful noise that has sound tracked the past 30 years and will continue to do so for many more.
