Guri Yeller
Black Shoes | Sister Misery
With their newest double single Black Shoes | Sister Misery, Bolton’s Guri Yeller takes a confident step into new sonic territory, or perhaps territory they’ve only hinted at until now. Where their last release Seeing Double carried a more electronic pulse, these new tracks arrive shrouded in distortion, feedback, and emotional haze. It's a full embrace of shoegaze, with nods to the genre’s originators but a character that remains firmly their own.
“Black Shoes” glides in on ghostly textures and a slow-burning rhythm, its vocals blurred like a memory half-recalled. “Sister Misery” is rougher around the edges, a swirl of melodic grit that captures something restless, unresolved. Together, the tracks feel like a leap, but not a departure. Instead, they deepen the mood Guri Yeller has been quietly carving out for themselves.

Fans of My Bloody Valentine or Slowdive will hear familiar echoes, but there’s also a sharp edge here that speaks to the present. Think of it as shoegaze with something more personal stirring underneath, less dreamy, more grounded.
Having made their live debut in Manchester last autumn, the band now looks toward more performances across the North of England. If Black Shoes | Sister Misery is any sign, Guri Yeller’s path forward is going to be as unpredictable as it is compelling.
The new single is available now on all major streaming platforms.
