Was thinking a bit more about music and realized that I've got to a point at which Cattle's "somehow hear songs" is just the Platonic ideal of shoegaze:

To the point at which I'll see another shoegaze band be recommended, listen to it and, because it doesn't sound like Cattle, decide I can't listen to it. It does mean that I'm not really the target audience for streaming services: all that choice, and I only want to listen to one EP :)

My previous love was 93MillionMilesFromTheSun. I still think their eponymous first album is great, especially the 11'30" track "The Times We Have Are Now":

A track of theirs that never fails to make me smile, though, is their cover of Ride's "Vapour Trail". TBH, I've never really understood why Ride were regarded as shoegaze. Like, Vapour Trail is a wonderful song, but it's really just a very good incarnation of jangly indie guitar:

99mmfts's cover is still (just about) recognizable as the same song, but turned into a noisy dirge:

Lovely stuff!
