30 years ago today: unleashed like a deep impact explosive, the debut EP from Slowdive on Creation Records. To some ears (including this DJ), lead single "Morningrise" may be the best shoegaze song ever recorded.
THIS WEEK on these airwaves: new This Radiant Hour. New Starving For Beauty. New Velvet Hum two-hour presentation, with a pretty pretty special guest. ๐ซข
If this beautiful hellscape sharts the bed by morning, we just wanna say: shoegaze twitter was the best twitter. Bless all of yโall, thanks for joining us on this journey. ๐
ON THIS DAY: Released 9 June 1992, 'Ferment', the debut album from Catherine Wheel, featuring the singles "Black Metallic", "Texture", and "I Want to Touch You".
Released 8 August 1988: the groundbreaking EP 'You Made Me Realise' by My Bloody Valentine launched 30 years ago today! Includes the classics "Slow", "Thorn", "Cigarette in Your Bed", "Drive It All Over Me" and the epic title track.
We love this music, we love this scene, we love all of y'all. As a community, we will get through this. Reach out. Love one another. Remain awesome. And avoid panic buying. ๐

One of the reasons we donโt get much airplay is that we have no record label or PR backing. We do this by choice because these things zap all the profits from indie bands like us. Itโs a trade off. We depend more on streaming radio like
