Shiner/The Life and Times leader Allen Epley refers to his new solo album as ”space country,” and you can get a taste from lead single ”Thousand Yard Stare.”
Inspired by the release of Hum's first album in 22 years, we put together a list of 30 essential songs that occupy the middle ground between shoegaze and heavier music - a sound which has existed for decades but is now more prominent than ever.
Plus: Curve, Ryley Walker & Kikagaku Moyo, Activity, Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley & Disappears, 'Earbudz Vol 1,' Mark Mulcahy, Grant-Lee Phillips, and more.
