My Melancholy Monday...


A little bit of shoegaze to ease you into your week from East Coast babe Gel J. Shoegaze is a genre of alternative rock that emerged from the UK in the late 1980s characterised by it's wall-of-sound aesthetics, subdued vocals and melodic soundscapes, very similar to the songs on the "Digital Bollocks" mixtape by Will M.

The mix features Cocteau Twins, Asobi Seksu, Starflyer 69 and some other great artists and is def. one of my favorite so far! So, tune out your thoughts, turn up your headphones, and Enjoy.






p.s. don't forget to check out the comments section for a bonus dancemix featuring Peaches, MSTRKRFT, Missy Elliot and the Klaxons.
