I am not a fan of album art whose most prominent text is not the artist name or album title

When the album was reissued in 2024, the band chose to replace the revolver in the image with a flower because of the prevalence ofGun violence in the United States, donating a portion of its sales to the Artist for Action charity.  Additionally, the band’s friend Phil, who was mentioned in the song “Kick the Tragedy”, died from a gun-related incident.

I don’t know a lot about the genre but I love Cranes, who apparently happen to be shoegaze.

ETA: damit, I always forget the reply to comment button is sonewhere else. This is for @jqubed@lemmy.world

Shoegaze is a genre I haven’t really listened to but have thought I might like. I do like Explosions in the Sky and I think they’re at least adjacent? Any starting bands you recommend?
