The Sound of French Shoegaze

"The Sound of French Shoegaze" brings together a wide-ranging mix of fuzzy guitars, reverb-heavy atmospheres, and dreamy vocals from across the French shoegaze and dream pop scenes. The playlist drifts through the heavier distortion of Jessica93’s "Asylum" and Dead Horse One’s "Shadow," while also tapping into shimmering textures with artists like Marble Arch on "Gold" and Melody’s Echo Chamber on "I Follow You." Bands like Alcest and Amesoeurs pull from blackgaze roots, while Servø and Bryan’s Magic Tears lean into a more garage-influenced haze.

There's a balance between melancholic melodies and expansive soundscapes, heard in tracks like "Linceul d'hiver" by Les Discrets and "Los Ojos de un Cielo Sin Luz" by Bank Myna. Newer waves of the genre are also represented through acts like Tapeworms and Requin Chagrin, blending poppier angles into the dense, swirling sounds. Whether it’s the punchier side from This Will Destroy Your Ears’ "The Rageous" or the ambient washes of Selenian’s "Sunday Diving," this playlist taps into a rich vein of French shoegaze, spanning heavier, dreamy, and experimental edges.
