With that in mind, Captured Tracks is unearthing a whole series of reissues from around the world to investigate this era the same way 60’s Psychedelic and Garage, 70’s Punk, 80’s Post-Punk and Cold Wave and every other nook and cranny of music subculture has been investigated and sprung upon a new generation of listeners.

Our aim is not to define whatever it was that Shoegaze was and is, or even if it ever was a “thing” in the first place, it’s merely to seek out and make available excellent music that’s currently off the shelves. The fact that most of these recordings were released only on CD in the “dead era” of vinyl in the early 90’s is not lost on it, so many of these releases will be seeing the turntable for the first time ever.
