Soot Sprite + my first Emo/Shoegaze playlist

There’s no excuse for this to be just the first list of the best shoegaze and emo stuff I’ve been listening to lately. I have to admit that these are two genres that came out of my basic indie and pop musical background. However, it’s undeniable that both styles still attract a considerable amount of great bands like the ones we’ll see in this playlist.

Soot Sprite

Rising Exeter trio Soot Sprite are set to release their debut album, Wield Your Hope Like A Weapon, on May 16th via Specialist Subject (FRESH, Jeff Rosenstock, Doe, Muncie Girls). Since the release of their debut single in 2018, Soot Sprite has grown from a one-woman lo-fi bedroom pop project to a fully-fledged touring alt-indie shoegaze outfit. Their debut album sees Elise Cook (lead vocals/guitar), Sean Mariner (bass/backing vocals), and Sam Cother (drums/backing vocals) fully embrace the dynamic highs and intimate lows that define their sound.
