Ranked No. 3 in Shoegaze
Savaged on release and now the genre's most beloved song. The guitars shimmer rather than roar, and the melody underneath survives every layer piled on it.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
Shoegaze with the songwriting left in. Everything blurred except the melody, which is why this one survived the backlash that buried the rest.
