After a flurry of shoegaze coverage – a Slide Away 2025 recap and an interview with Nothing frontman Domenic Palermo – I'm returning to business as usual over at Chasing Sundays HQ. Which of course means writing about a grab-bag of unrelated genres – hardcore, garage-rock, alt-pop, dream-pop, metal-gaze, bedroom-pop, a different type of hardcore, and fuckit, a little bit of shoegaze – for this week's edition of Chasing Fridays.

It feels good to finally have a conversation with Nothing frontman and Slide Away shoegaze festival creator Domenic "Nicky" Palermo on Chasing Sundays. This blog is named after a Nothing lyric, after all, and Palermo has long been one of my favorite musicians and interview subjects.

New York Fuckin City, babyyy. That's where I'll be located by the time this edition of Chasing Fridays goes live, and that's where I'll be all weekend in celebration of the second-annual Slide Away shoegaze festival. I'll be seeing the pre-show at Market Hotel on Friday and the main show on Saturday at the Brooklyn Paramount, so if any of my lovely subscribers are going to be attending either of those events and want to say what's up, don't hesitate to tug my shirt and do so.

This was a good week for those who enjoy reading words that I typed into the computer. Two Stereogum interviews I wrote, one with Molly Burch and one with Greet Death, were published earlier this week, and I'm proud of how both of them came out. And then there's this edition of Chasing Fridays, which is filled with thoughts on new music from shoegaze scene-leaders, rap up-and-comers, and indie-rock veterans.

For years, Greet Death’s music got better as their personal lives became more hopeless. The “suicide summer” incantations of their 2017 doomgaze debut, Dixieland, were downright cheery compared to the existential crises lining New Hell, the Michigan band’s heavier, more poignantly pretty 2019 follow-up, which situated them at the forefront of the nascent shoegaze renaissance. With their 2022 country-gaze EP, New Low, their outlook on life somehow descended even further.
