Top 5 Doomgaze Records of the Week: Halloween Edition.


Doomgaze Edition.


In celebration of Halloween, When The Sun Hits is making our weekly Top 5 Shoegaze Records of the Week list with a special focus in mind: DOOMGAZE. Yes, we've trolled the murky waters of fringe shoegaze for you in order to drag up the darkest mire possible. Black out the windows, grab your headphones, and go down the rabbit hole listening through this list. I've always held fast to the theory that inside every shoegazer lies a secret goth; our lists might be the proof. Either way, we aren't responsible for any subsequent nightmares you may have. Enjoy All Hallow's Eve.
