Shoegaze promotion questions
Can I send a full EP or album to reviewers?
Yes. Upload all tracks in a single campaign. Reviewers stream the full release in order through the in-browser player.
How do I reach shoegaze playlist curators?
Build a list of curators who run shoegaze, dream-pop, and noise-pop playlists. Send a private promo before your release date so they can preview and add your tracks.
Does Promoly support high-quality audio?
Yes. Upload WAV files for lossless quality. Promoly streams in-browser and delivers downloads in your uploaded format.
Is Promoly affordable for small shoegaze labels?
Plans start at £10/month. The free trial gives you 7 days and 150 sends. Most shoegaze press lists are under 100 contacts, so even the Starter plan covers it.
