Suns of Thyme

DE · 2011–present · active
Berlin-based Suns of Thyme formed in 2011, crafting a strain of heavy psychedelia that merges stoner rock, shoegaze, krautrock, and post-rock influences evoking Can, early Pink Floyd, and Spacemen 3. The quartet released their debut Fortune, Shelter, Love and Cure before the five-piece follow-up Cascades in 2016, which expanded into space rock and death rock territory. They have been featured alongside Brian Jonestown Massacre and Kadavar on German compilations and supported UK shoegazers TOY.

The Album Leaf

CA, US · 1998–present · active
San Diego multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle launched The Album Leaf in 1998 as a solo project while playing guitar in post-rock band Tristeza, initially self-releasing limited cassette experiments in ambient texture and field recordings. The project gained international recognition after Sigur Rós took LaValle on tour, leading to the acclaimed Sub Pop release In a Safe Place (2004), a landmark of delicate, orchestrated instrumental ambient music. LaValle has continued releasing records under the name, expanding the project to include a full live band and occasional vocals.

There's A Light

DE · 2011–present · active
There's A Light formed in Lahr, in the Black Forest region of southwest Germany in 2011 as a studio project by David Christmann and Jonas Obermüller, expanding to a five-piece live band by 2013. Their sound combines expansive post-rock guitar architecture with ambient textures and occasional sung vocals, placing them at the more atmospheric end of the genre. Their self-recorded debut A Long Lost Silence arrived in 2018, and a worldwide deal with Napalm Records followed, yielding the more fully realized For What May I Hope? For What Must We Hope? in December 2021.

Álef Hylliel

Manaus, BR · 2010–present · active
Álef Hylliel is a prolific post-black metal and blackgaze project from Manaus, Brazil, blending tremolo-driven black metal with shoegaze atmospherics, ambient textures, and post-rock melody. Active since 2010, the project has built an extensive catalog of over a dozen albums on Bandcamp, including releases such as "失われた音" (Ushinawareta Oto), "Laniakea", and "Entre Amigos Depressivos", drawing on themes of depression, isolation, and introspection. The multilingual album titling — mixing Portuguese, English, and Japanese — reflects the project's broad atmospheric and emotional range within the DSBM-adjacent blackgaze space.
