If there is one group that deserves the label nugaze, it’s Film School. It remains a nostalgic album. Worth listening to. But without spending too much money on it though.

While formally impeccable, it lacks a distinctive edge and memorable qualities. The album is enjoyable but feels more like a nostalgic tribute rather than a fresh innovation. Shoegaze enthusiasts will find familiar elements but might desire more originality. Discover the nostalgic charm of Film School's Hideout—listen now and explore its shoegaze echoes!

They are the best Shoegaze band I know... the Shoegaze of the Swervedriver has always intrigued me more than many other Shoe bands because it’s permeated with 'sixties' echoes. Of all the shoegaze, this is the one that will withstand the test of time the best.
