History

Gaze, consisting of singers/guitarists Miko Hoffman and Megan Mallet with drummer Rose Melberg, released two singles in 1997. [1]

The band released their first album, Mitsumeru, in 1998. The recording was completed at Dub Narcotic studios. [2] Reviewers praised the singing and instrumentation of the album, but criticized the lack of variety among the various tracks. [3] [4] In 2016, Pitchfork placed the album at number 50 on its list of "The 50 Best Indie Rock Albums of the Pacific Northwest". [2]

The band's second album, Shake the Pounce, was released in 1999. [5] Once again it was praised for its forthright lyrics and emotional singing, but reviewers noted a sameness in the overall style of the album. [6]
