Shy Guy Says

Sucraphrenia (2011)

Bandcamp

For those of you still listening...

"Centered in Illinois, we've been playing music across the midwest since 2008. We like to throw ourselves in the "undefinable" genre category, although we've certainly been influenced by the region's historic DIY scene, as well as a long list of post-rock, shoegaze, ambient, and math-rock bands."

Cloudkicker

Fade (2012)
Bandcamp 

Ben Sharp is back again with his fifth full length album entitled Fade. This man is constantly redefining his sound, from the heavy and emotion packed album Beacons to the feel good shoegaze of Let Yourself Be Huge, he now releases a uniquely progressive album that seems to have a little of both. This is one of my top favorite bands, one of the bands on this blog that I would highly recommend listening to. Check out my older posts here to find the full Cloudkicker discography, you HAVE to hear Beacons.

American Spirit EP (2012)

I don't usually come across much chillwave/shoegaze that I can enjoy but my ears said yes to this album. San Diego based project, free album download available at Bandcamp.
