Pitchfork's 50 Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time

A collection that sounds happy, and more importantly comforting, even when you know, as you always did, that there's no point in going on, but that we all do anyhow.

An album like this extends far beyond your speakers, guiding you through an impossibly rich, detailed world of sound while also giving you room to explore it yourself; you don't listen to Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, you inhabit it.

Where Loveless felt effortless, mbv strains, pushing at its boundaries with a sense of pensive gloom.
