about

The story of shoegaze in the Philippines is closely intertwined with that of indie pop. When the legendary Buzz Night shows opened its doors, shoegazers from the remnants of the No Zone and The Awakening scenes were the first to be accommodated. Among the most prominent and influential in this circle was the indie pop band Soft Pillow Kisses. Formed in 1999, the band remains a constant presence in the indie scene despite having no formal releases (except for a few compilation appearances) and most information on them lost in pre-Facebook internet and old zines.

Shoegaze Pilipinas is dedicated to sharing shoegaze and umbrella music as a way to document the aural history of indie scenes in the Philippines and how shoegaze interacted with the many parts of its fractured whole. In this spirit, we are excited to announce the release of Waiting For Your Words - a compilation of early Soft Pillow Kisses recordings. This release will also come with a DIY printing kit for folks who want to keep a physical copy of the album.
