Celebrate Yourself! Sonic Cathedral 2004-2024 (4cd)
The release of this 4CD box set coincides with the 20th anniversary of cult shoegaze label Sonic Cathedral. The set features 62 tracks, many of which are previously unreleased, plus rare remixes, showstopping live recordings and a shoegaze Christmas compilation. Included bands are Slowdive, Andy Bell (Ride), Emma Anderson (Lush), bdrmm, Whitelands and deary, and we get remixes by Andrew Weatherall, James Holden, David Holmes, Daniel Avery and many more. Across the four discs, the box set tells the story of Sonic Cathedral from its humble beginnings as a club night in 2004 to its present-day position at the centre of the never-ending shoegaze revival, after playing a huge part in repopularising the once maligned genre over the past two decades.
