Just came across this two month old article about what some people in the UK are calling a revival of "shoegazing." Not that it ever really went away; it just became less commercially viable in the seemingly endless shuffle of genre permutations and recombinations that define the post-punk era and its aftermath. Apparently, though, with the growing success of bands like Blonde Redhead (i quite like their new album, produced by Alan Moulder of all people), this "revival" is now officially a "movement." Some journos are even calling it things like "nu-gaze," "stargaze" and "shoetronica" (my fave!).
Now where did i stash those Ride and Slowdive albs?
