Shoegaze has become an "it" genre again, thanks to reformed punks like Whirr, Nothing, and Title Fight, who have found a way to infuse the most tenuous aspects of Loveless with Tumblr-core pop/punk. Lubec—easily one of the most underrated guitar bands in Portland—is the real deal. Their latest cassette, Concentration, digs deeper into the Creation catalog, evoking bands like Swervedriver and the Telescopes, as well as mid-'90s Swedish pop bands who fall slightly outside of the conventional shoegaze genus, like the Cardigans and Popsicle. Contemporary bands obsessed with the aesthetic of early British indie-rock often don't realize how tuneful and pop-focused a lot of those bands were. Lubec considers style and song craft equally; they have the looks and bring the hooks. MORGAN TROPER
