LOST SHOEGAZE - forgotten bands, great songs

[Blackmarket]

Forgotten treasures of the shoegaze/dreampop genre and closely related styles (influenced by the time in which they were released) Most bands are pretty much forgotten with less than 200 monthly listeners on Spotify, despite excellent songs. (The songs on the playlist are my favourites from them).
