It's real. My book "When the Sun Hits: The High-Volume History of Shoegaze" is now available for pre-order. Out March 30, 2027 via @StMartinsPress

Some thoughts on losercore, a bizarre meme with an accompanying Spotify playlist full of Alex G songs and Sam Ray ripoffs.
Full article: elienis.com/chasing-fridays-…
Wrote about the viral "losercore" playlist and why Alex G has everything to do with it.
Then reviewed new Sophia Stel, Horse Vision, and 3 other underground releases I like.
Plus, a Q&A with music critic Shaad D'Souza that gave me an existential crisis.

Yeah, this album was a decade ahead of its time. Wild how radical it still sounds.
i don't really understand what "laptop twee" is but was i not doing that a decade ago (what distinguishes it from "bedroom pop"? is it just... more "twee"? whatever that means) katiedey.bandcamp.com/album/…

I talked to DIIV about going corporate, rejecting shoegaze, "looking like shit," their new album 'ZIRP!', and a whole lot more.

Thank you Eli for keeping my memory alive while I await the Nina Protocol archive. If you’re an editor, I wanna write for you! And shoutout to friends& for coining an amazing (albeit contested) genre
Ik it's gauche to flex about this shit but like...ear, Worldpeace DMT, Bassvictim, Femcels, ideasforconversations, Horse Vision, 300Skulls, basically every notable artist dubbed "laptop twee."
Chasing Sundays covered em either first or second (@madelinemilesf was often first).

Wrote about six laptop twee artists I've never heard before to try and refine the definition of the year's breakout genre.
Also: why brakence sucks, why 17sport rules, and why my interview guests of the week, the London trio novelty, are next up.

If you like 300SkullsAndCounting then you need to hear Oral. The Hudson Valley band are making noisy screamo through the prism of plugg and indietronica. Their debut 'Line of Jewels' will eventually be canon.
Their first interview is on Chasing Sundays:
