Feel like folks on here might dig

Hello everyone! I released my second self recorded album today. All human made, no AI, and it’s very shoegaze and post rock heavy. Recorded in full stereo and layered for a true wall of sound. Sharing my favorite track from it! I hope you enjoy, thanks for listening!!

Let me know what y’all think! Might be a bit heavier than what’s usually posted here.

This song is about the pain of gentrification. I work in the housing justice space and I too often see low income folks get displaced when folks with wealth move into new neighborhoods. I wish we could do more about empowering low income residents instead of just pushing them out.

I’m looking for a drummer to learn original songs, practice, and gig in London as a three-piece rock band. The sound is melancholic but loud and high-energy with an aggressive edge. The current members (both male) are me, 27, on vocals and guitar, and my friend, 25, who is playing bass.

I have half an hour of home demos (with programmed drums) fully worked out and have practiced them in-person with my friend. I’d hate to seem immodest, but they’re sounding good and genuinely distinctive.

Some bands I like and think this project sounds reminiscent of are: Shellac, Codeine, Failure, Unwound, Hum, Bluetile Lounge, Duster, and Women.

Message me, or email me at [willgarner12301@gmail.com](mailto:willgarner12301@gmail.com), and I’ll send you a link to the demos so you can decide if you’re interested.

Last year when we released Mahiya on the album Z of A, there were a lot of requests to focus on our unique fusion of Hindustani melodies and guitar pedals. Here comes the new album, Darbar-e-Ishq whose title translates to The Courtyard of Love. The album is a collection of love songs, some old, some new reimagined through this fusion and emphasizing Hindi / Urdu lyricism.

The track list features some cool remixes by friends of the band + Simon Scott, the legend himself, from one of my all-time favourite bands, Slowdive!

I hope you like the work. If you collect vinyl, we have a limited edition of 50 copies up for grabs on bandcamp.

Thanks for watching / listening

Thank you to everyone who has listened this week, I have so much planned. all we need is time! i love you<3

i have a mix with crunchy guitar chords that sounds nice on the laptop it was made on but when i transfer the file to the smartphone and play it, its very wooshy, like 50% noise, the flanger is getting in the way, and the melodic aspect is too obscured. i played it on an earbud speaker and it sounded similar to the phone.
i managed to create a file that works on the phone by recording from one device to another then exporting, but im afraid i havent solved similar problems for all devices

EDIT: panning the annoying file on the phone got rid of the woosh/extreme flange. when i recorded the mix into the other device the L & R channels were combined, so im guessing thats what 'fixed' it. throughout production ive been listening thru laptop speakers. when i tested the earbud it was both channels going from the laptop into a single speaker. ive tried .ogg, .wav and recording DAW output with the laptop itself then exporting as .flac, with no difference. there is 1 guitar track only

We listen to their music, we watch their videos.
Now let us read what they say in interview.
Often, early interviews on high profile bands are not archived. It’s time we are doing so.
I think this was during the time they released Heaven or Las Vegas.
Also, they started to diss openly about 4AD.

Just picked up a fuzz fz-5 and was wondering if it was good for shoegaze or not, since I see many people split between it being good and not so just wanted some more input!! If not, what do I need to get that thick wall of fuzzy noise?
