drat, nice OP. You mentioned pretty much everything I would have (My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Jesus & Mary Chain, Swervedriver, Ulrich Schnauss). One thing I'll mention that I bring up in every shoegaze thread here: Probably the closest you'll find to shoegaze in popular music today is Silversun Pickups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sXF00cv1nA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQZ53-TD3rk While their sound may not be as layered as shoegaze bands of yesteryear, they still venture into shoegaze territory quite a bit. Hell, listen to the vocals. For the most part, they sound more like Swervedriver than, say, MBV or Slowdive. But every now and then, they sound like they're channeling both of them. I'd say they also incorporate noise pop and, to a lesser extent, dream pop in addition to shoegaze. Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Aug 22, 2011 |

The Horrors have a new album out? I should really check into that. I only have Primary Colours by them, but I love it. Scarlet Fields is my favorite track of theirs. More post-punk sounding than a lot of shoegaze artists but still definitely shoegaze. Super creepy atmosphere, too.

I think my two favorite Slowdive songs are When The Sun Hits (which has already been posted) and Machine Gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ylunl72PyE Really feels like something out of a dream. I mean, I know that's the reason for it being called "dream pop". But I honestly feel like I'm in another dimension or something whenever listen to them.

Since Ulrich Schnauss has been touched on in this thread, I'm assuming this is to place to talk about electrogaze. So can we talk about how loving incredible the new M83 album is? Because Jesus Christ. I'm on my first listen now and it's one of my favorite records of the year already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDyonn3mQj8 This is the first single, Midnight City, and it's like electro, shoegaze, post punk and new wave all wrapped up in a distorted, dreamy, beautiful package.

I figured you all would want to hear about this band if you hadn't already: Blouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwvflpqOb5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISqtt1-Myn4 Their debut album just came out a couple days ago, but aside from the production values, it sounds like it could've been made in the late 80s / early 90s. Amazing stuff.

Christ, you guys weren't kidding about the new Alcest. I just got done listening to it and it's really something special. I hadn't heard anything from them since Souvenirs d'un autre monde, which I listened to probably 5 years ago or more when I was listening to anything post-rock that I could get my hands on. I don't remember that album being much like this or being particularly memorable, but this is one I could easily see myself listening to over and over again. Those guitar textures were just sublime. And yeah, that last track...wow. That definitely ranks up there with the best Mono tracks as far as being one of the best long instrumental pieces I've heard in years. I want to listen to this album in my car but I feel like it would put me in such a dream state that I'd stop paying attention to the road and get in a wreck.

Is there anywhere to rent Beautiful Noise? I went to rent it last night but saw you can only buy it for $15 on Vimeo, and I don't really feel like paying that much to watch it once.

I've really wanted to see it since I saw initial blurbs about it when it was still in development stages a while back, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'd love to know if any shoegaze fans in this thread have seen it and what anyone's thoughts are about it.

Yeah, like I could see a case being made for some of their songs here and there being dream pop-inspired like Everything In Its Right Place and The National Anthem from Kid A, Dollars & Cents off Amnesiac or even Let Down on OK Computer, but I would never call Radiohead a dream pop band. They've taken inspiration from so many different sources (from Krautrock to jazz to Aphex Twin) that it's almost like they're their own genre.

They loving did it. I have no idea how in the hell they pulled that off, but Slowdive stopped making albums for 22 years and then came back with a masterpiece of a shoegaze album in 2017 like they never left at all

Slowdive streamed a half hour live set on Pitchfork earlier and it's available to watch on their Facebook. Check it out if you're at all a fan of theirs or their new album, because my god does it sound beautiful.

New JAMC and new Ride felt pretty forgettable to me while I fell in love with the Slowdive self-titled on first listen and have continued to love it on every subsequent listen. I should also give new Ride another shot. I kinda tuned out of it after a while.

The new Ride was kind of forgettable, unfortunately. Slowdive is easily in my top albums of the year. It never gets old for me no matter how many times I listen to it. Can't say I've even heard of a single other entry from that list, though

Crossposting this from the indie rock thread because it probably qualifies more as shoegaze and noise pop: This new HEALTH album is a wild, dark and transcendent journey. I bruised the gently caress outta my thigh from drumming along to this thing so hard while driving hahaha A+ I know we're not even 2 full months into the year yet, but this is easily my album of the year so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0v4sm5dYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNAySFS3Msk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO_EeUBoNOw

Electro-Boogie Jack posted:Can't believe I'm saying this, because afaic for the last decade HEALTH has been able to do no wrong- Get Color, USA Boys, High Pressure Days, Tears and MP3, Death Magic, Euphoria, all loving fire- but I'm disappointed by it. I was worried Jupiter's departure would take something special from the band, and now the new album feels dark in a cliched, almost high school goth way to me. It's neither as creatively noisy nor as catchy as their other stuff. Without all the clever electronics it seems like they were trying to put the guitar a little further forward, but instead of maybe getting something like Al Jourgensen on Rabies they ended up with a sound that's less brutal and more... conventional?

sticklefifer posted:It just came out today, and it's so full-on shoegaze that I can't even justify posting about it in the metal thread. I think for a band that had post-rock/shoegaze elements already, they were poised to do the genre shift well and they pulled it off with good results IMO

In a move I didn't see coming, the new Foo Fighters single sounds shoegaze/dream pop influenced. Dave Grohl duets with his daughter Violet and the results are fantastic. I wish they'd do this kind of thing more often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idib1kDvPyM
