I saw Lush in college in Texas and, while I owned Spooky at the time, I was nowhere near smart enough to appreciate them the way I should. Split is probably in my top 5 albums of all time now. Man, I wish things had gone differently for them. I'm excited that Slowdive's coming to Seattle this year, though.

I think Drop Nineteens' album Delaware is part of the essential shoegaze catalog. Their song and the video for it, Winona, is one of my favorite songs. The riff is just amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4oCboj39jo

We are solidly in the 3rd quarter of the year and it feels like nothing much to get really excited about happened this year. But here are some stuff that has come out so far that me and other dudes I have been talking to think are good. Aerofall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomTV_XPkZ8 Shoegazers from Russia. They released a self titled and it blows their 2011 entry, Seasons, away. This album may very well end up being the album of the year as far as the things covered in this thread go. Hot Glass http://littleleaguerecords.bandcamp.com/album/only-animals-your-chance Irish group. Only a two song release but I am pretty hyped for what they do from here. Only Animals is a really good song. nothing http://wearenothing.bandcamp.com/album/guilty-of-everything To be honest, I am not really feeling them. But some people seem to be really on it. Sounds really boring and uninspired to me. magic love http://magiclove.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-ep Japanese unit. Soundtrack to laying on a grassy hill looking at clouds for me this summer. Daisy Face http://daisyface.bandcamp.com/album/slow-approaching-nothing Another group that some people are on that I am not up on. Has that slow midwest emo sound to it. September Girls http://septembergirls.bandcamp.com/ Another Irish group. The opening guitar riff on Cursing the Sea I have heard a million times before in other songs. Strata Florida http://saintmarierecords.bandcamp.com/album/made-of-stars The more unique one of the group. Louise Trehy's (one half of Swallow) new thing. I would definitely say this is something you should get in on. Noir For Rachel http://noirforrachelband.bandcamp.com/album/fog-museum Another band that I picked up thanks to cruising polish and russian tumblrs. Has a pretty pronounced post-punk sound to it. there's also Ceremony which I have mentioned earlier in the thread. What are some recent things you guys have been listening to?

I think some tracks from Lantlos new album have a great shoegazy feel, especially Jade Fields.

I really love Jorge Elbrecht's work. The albums he put out with Violens are great, especially "True". Somehow I missed it when it first came out, but I fell in love with the track he did with Ariel Pink last winter "Called to Ring". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmFeWSuDja8 The false ending/fuzzed-out guitar at the 3-minute mark is really cool. I'm really hoping they continue to work together. Ariel's voice really seems to work well in this setting, though I definitely like his solo stuff and with Haunted Graffitti.

I really like the Creepers EP - they're a Deafheaven side project from the drummer and guitarist. Their sound reminds me a LOT of Women, which is great because the only thing we have from ex-Women members so far is Viet Cong's Cassette EP, and Viet Cong is sort of getting away from that sound.

Ok, I'm into more "normal" shoegaze, although in an oddly limited way, but I'm looking for stuff there may not be a whole lot of. Basically those two Alcest albums where he threw in a bunch of metal and did growls and it was still somehow shoegaze? (Écailles de Lune, Les Voyages de L'Âme) Is there more stuff like that out there somewhere? e: gently caress, I killed the thread

I didn't know that Lemon's Chair had released an album this year but well they did. Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhzjBOBB1fA iTunes seems to be the only place to download it digitally, otherwise you've gotta buy the CD.

(Écailles de Lune, Les Voyages de L'Âme) try the first two Lantlos albums, Neige is on there doing his signature vocals definately check out Deafheaven who are the best band in the world etc and whole metal community hates them and so forth (they rule) Amesoeurs (Neiges old band) has a couple good songs on their album, but the direction is really all over the place and perhaps a long shot but if you're into the more-black-metal-than-shoegaze, maybe just maybe you will like Wolves in the Throne room (but not the latest album, that's ambient) texting my ex fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Oct 21, 2014 |

caught Slowdive last night and it's probably the best show I've ever been to. The way they mix the vocals and instruments is incredible, it really sounds like they're playing their recorded stuff in front of you. Setlist: Slowdive Avalyn Catch the Breeze Crazy for You Souvlaki Space Station Machine Gun Blue Skied an' Clear Albatross (live debut) When the Sun Hits Morningrise She Calls Alison Golden Hair Encore: Dagger 40 Days Only complaint is they should have ended their set with 40 Days and done Golden Hair for the very end. The four-minute extended outro is something loving else.

(Écailles de Lune, Les Voyages de L'Âme) Along with the other blackgaze suggestions you may want to try Heretoir, Liam and maybe An Autumn for Crippled Children. More traditionally shoegaze but still extremely dark is the band The Cheshire Strangler, check them out. Not really shoegazey but a metal band that plays with atmosphere and romantic themes and has the good cop, bad cop vocals is Novembre. Check out the albums Dreams D'azur and Novembrine Waltz. You may also want to check out Klimt 1918, who started off with a sound that could kinda be described as a metal band who are really into U2 and the Police and have gotten progressively more indie and shoegazey as they've gone on. The guitars are pretty reminiscent of British Sea Power.

Just got back from Slowdive's show in Toronto and all I can do is echo the guy up above. They had an amazing mix (on top of that, the Danforth usually sounds great). Having not seen them before, I thought the song selection was really good. Souvlaki Space Station was groovy. A+++ can't wait to see them again in another 20 years. I hadn't heard/seen the opener (Low) before, and they were really cool as well. Very inspiring to see a different type of band setup (minimalist drums, vocal harmonies, bursts of really dense impressionistic lead guitar). They were very reminiscent of old film music the way some Portishead stuff can be.

well, Low may not technically be "shoegaze", their earlier stuff does get pretty drat close to the mark from their 1994 release 'I Could Live in Hope'. Their sound has gone in different directions over the decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn2eR7Xq4KM then they headed into interesting territory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY8OUjxzBhs they really nail addiction with their latter releases eckoelab fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Oct 30, 2014 |

was just listening to this cd again today and remembering how awesome this was when it was released. It still holds up extremely well 25 years later. Really sad that I missed their tour a few years ago, as I heard it was an amazing night of blistering sonic intensity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTaYASlab3U
