No. It's noise pop, some of which has overlaps with shoegaze, but not this album.

no. it's standard-fare slacker indie. it's by no means a bad album, but it's not shoegaze.

maybe you saw someone dismiss Swirlies as simply being "basic alternative rock" and you thought this meant pavement could be shoegaze. they're not.

Definitely not. The guitars sound a bit shoegazey on some songs only because the recording quality is so shitty.

can you really imagine malkmus pensively staring at his feet while playing trigger cut

Summer babe is

no that's the Pavement album "Slanted and Enchanted"

the chorus in lorettas scars sounds kinda gazey, but thats about it

no it's just poorly recorded

or maybe because of all the fuzz? baka

how is the quality "so shitty". You can tell this was in a studio and not in like some dudes basement. I mean its definitely lofi but no more shitty than like early modest mouse.
