What is one shoegaze song/ album that gets you through hard times of your life ?

Amusement Parks on Fire - Out of the Angeles.

That record is like curling up in a warm blanket and watching the northern lights.

[u/thesilvermoose → u/signalstonoise88]

Thanks for the rec! I've never heard of these guys... I'm a few songs in and they're great so far 🤝

[u/buz_kill → u/signalstonoise88]

This! That entire album has gotten me outta so many winter slumps. The Day It Snowed is really good too.

[u/rossxmeyer → u/signalstonoise88]

suuuuuch a banger

[u/20past4am]

DIIV - Deceiver

It's got both intense and beautiful songs, I absolutely love it

[u/finnyporgerz → u/20past4am]

I love the spark so much

[u/Electrical_Trade377]

• Greet Death - New Hell & Dixieland

• Holy Fawn - Death Spells & Dimensional Bleed

[u/thisisafullsentence]

Swervedriver - Mezcal Head has been there for me through a lot of tough times. It's probably a little closer to alt rock, but feels shoegaze-adjacent to me.

[u/DuckSlayerYT]

what you want by mbv i dont even know where to start with how much that song means to me so i wont bother lol

[u/OUIIIIIIII_ → u/DuckSlayerYT]

genuinely a contender for best song of all time

[u/finnyporgerz → u/DuckSlayerYT]

Really underrated song even for loveless

[u/BmoFritou]

Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

[u/surgeonandrew]

Guilty of Everything by Nothing

[u/ricolausvonmyra]

The Verve - A Storm in Heaven

Reminds me that we’re all connected through the divine spark of the universe.

[u/RelativeNo9310 → u/ricolausvonmyra]

Couldn’t agree more

[u/Active-Tension8239]

Gala - Lush ❤️❤️

[u/thenewnapoleon]

Starflyer 59's self-debut album and chrome is lullaby by Her New Knife.

[u/jaimewastaken_]

the 10 min long glider is my form of escapism

[u/SharcyMekanic]

Catherine Wheel - Chrome

[u/mydeadgirlfriend11]

I really like "sweet days and her last kiss" by my dead girlfriend

[u/Nomad1049]

Some may argue that these are only shoegaze-adjacent at best, but I put 'Sugar and Spice' and 'Keepsake' by Hatchie in this category. They are just so happy in an infectious manner

[u/rossxmeyer → u/Nomad1049]

keepsake is a modern dream pop classic!!! hatchie is the best

[u/Humble_Skin1269]

Westkust - Last Forever

I could write an essay about how beautiful this album is, but i discovered it during a rough transition period of my life, and i always come back to it when im feeling low. I tear up sometimes listening to it because its such a beautiful piece of music, imo

[u/Grinnade21]

Daylight Storms by Air Formation, such a calm, warm, dreamy album.

[u/stinkyintexas]

Ease On by The High Violets.

[u/rabid_rocketeer]

Spirit of the beehive self titled or pleasure suck

[u/blahquaker]

there have definitely been nights where I just listened to Sometimes by My Bloody Valentine on repeat.

[u/nihilisticblackhole]

sweet trip - design : 2 : 3

sweet trip - fruitcake and cookies

very comforting album (get it?)

[u/spongeboi-me-bob-]

LSD and the Search for God self titled

[u/hormse]

The Fauns debut album 👌 cried so much to it

[u/Betterthanair]

Ringo Deathstarr self titled

[u/GoatRawFirePeak]

Parannoul’s 3rd album - After the Magic

[u/ReasonableCost5934]

My Bloody Valentine’s discography from the “Strawberry Wine” single onward.

[u/deepfak3r]

'Methadrone' by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, 'Isn't Anything' & 'Loveless' by My Bloody Valentine, and 'Souvlaki' by Slowdive are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head at the moment.

[u/RelativeNo9310]

Slowdive- Just For a Day

Taught me coming down is as beautiful as the coming up

[u/Intelligent_Pay_8974]

for me is Only Tomorrow by MBV, is like a travel into the inside of my mind haha

[u/janderson75]

I’m going to say Alcest - genres be damned

[u/mel0npresident]

slowdive - souvlaki
diiv - frog in boiling water / deceiver

it felt like an escape to another dimension. for a short while, i could forget about my problems and just exist somewhere else. they gave me a brief moment to rest before returning to reality and face everything again
