Drop Nineteens formed out of Boston University, and they recordedDelawarewhile they were still students.
This was the album that put Drop Nineteens on the map, and for good reason.
While “Alison” is a prime example, every song onSouvlakiembodies these characteristics.
Going Blank Againis a more refined album, beginning with the perfect track to start a shoegaze LP.
Mezcal Headis a classic English shoegaze album whose American influences can be heard loud and clear.
That said, Swervedriver incorporates some pseudo-experimentation with feedback and effects pedals, another key element of the genre.
With singles “Nothing Natural,” “For Love,” and “Superblast!”
this album is essential Lush, and without Lush, there would be no essential shoegaze.
