Duel - Swervedriver

[link] One of the great shoegaze songs of all time. Multiple hooks, yet these are not pop hooks.  They are achieved within the instrumental miasma. The mood progression that this song goes through is remarkable.  It starts very intense and then goes in to a mostly major, slightly sing songy section, gets lost in that for a while (in a good way), then quiets down and then launches back into the first part, redrawing all of the blood a second time around.  Very intense instrumentals both times through.  Then back into the B part and then the quiet part, I guess the C part, heads out to a fade. Almost two different songs except that the transitions between them really meld them together
