Explainably unsuccessful artists

Fuzzy had a self-titled record on Seed records (Madder Rose’s label) and its of a similar bent - the single Flashlight in particular is very good. Also Magnapop’s - Slowly, Slowly from the Hot Boxing LP was a great single - slightly grungier.

Other obscure- bands of the era (avoiding my favourite genre shoegaze as thankfully there aren’t many artists now that haven’t been given their rightful acclaim - the Pitchfork top 50 shoegaze LPs covers most of them):
…not really of the same ilk but Submarine (I was talking about them on another thread) had some great moments, Lotion (another on Seed Records and I saw them play a sublime gig with Madder Rose - Full Isaac is one of my favourite LPs - slightly more emo-ish and rocky). I also found Smudge to be very overlooked but that’s Lemonheads-y slacker pop from down under (in fact Lemonheads covered a few of their tracks like Outdoor Life, Divan etc). On a slow-core tip like Galaxie 500’s depressed cousins Codeine are great. From the early 00s Trespassers William are well worth digging into if you are yet to. Female fronted dreamy, slow loveliness. Oh yes and just remembered Rose Chronicles - I’d definitely file much of that under early 90s esoterica…awaiting eternity was their college radio hit and oft played on 120 minutes - probably their peak but the whole LP ‘Shiver’ is strong.
