Top Tunes Taking the Scene: A Look at the Week’s Most Spun Singles (February 10-17, 2025)

Salutations, shoegazers! This is your past-week musical guide from DKFM Shoegaze Radio, and I am here to walk you through the sonic odyssey that’s been our playlist this week. We’ve got a stellar crop of singles that have been spinning the airwaves and stealing the show. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

Leading the parade is “Statelines” by NIIGHTS. A premiere on our air (When The Sun Hits), a bewitching blend of dream-pop and shoegaze, it’s been getting more airplay and enthusiasm than we’ve seen in a while. It’s no secret we’ve got mad respect for Jenna and the sonic team behind NIIGHTS, and this one’s a revelation, and a return to form.

Next up, we have “Graze” by she’s green. “Graze,” embraces an ethereal, airy aesthetic. Picture yourself drifting lazily on an untroubled sea, the sun warm on your face. That’s the world this track inhabits. It’s a chill-out anthem with a fuzzy tail that deserves space on your unwind playlist. Be sure to catch them on their tour supporting GLIXEN.

Pia Fraus new single “Across the Street” brings an edgy blend of indie-rock and shoegaze. It’s like a cool breeze on a hot day, unexpected but utterly refreshing. This track showcases Pia Fraus’ captivating ability to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh, and as always, completely their own.

And that’s just the top three. Most of these listed are 2025 releases, but not all. Even Hey Calamity’s “Making Time” bumps back up from late 2024 to get fresh life on our airwaves. Tincture, 9Million, The Virginia Planes, Glazyhaze, All Done Bye Bye and Scoreboard round out the top ten.

So there you have it, folks – the top tunes shaking our soundwaves this week. These songs prove once again that the modern shoegaze/dream p9p scene is a vibrant, ever-changing entity. Packed with fresh talent and ceaseless innovation, it continually pushes boundaries and challenges our perceptions of what shoegaze music can be. So, keep your ears open, your playlists updated, and your speakers ready for the next wave of astounding tracks. Until next week: keep calm, and gaze at your shoes.
