The High Violets - Chinese Letter

Previously we saw the High Violets in hardcore shoegazing mode in Sun Baby.  

Now, in Chinese Letter, we find them exploring Dream Pop territory.

But what keeps this song firmly grounded in the Shoegazing tradition is the burning guitar that bursts in at 1:34 and 2:28 to remind us that these guys kick ass.  They're not going to wimp out and drift off into Belle-and-fucking-Sebastian territory as long as they've got that guitar.

This could be a Cocteau Twins song.   And as far as shoegazing credibility goes, that's about as high as the praise gets.
