In 1995, Starflyer 59 released their eponymous second album, colloquially referred to as Gold , continuing the monochromatic cover art theme of Silver . The sound was similar to their first release, while Jason Martin continued to add layers of guitar riffs to each song. This album is considered instrumental in developing the “shoegaze” sound. In 2016, Pitchfork Media ranked Gold as the number 41 best shoegaze album of all time. Lyrically, the album continued the trend of somewhat depressive and lovelorn content in contrast to the message of the band’s Christian record label. In 1996, the band released a live album via Velvet Blue Music entitled Plugged .
