Shoegazer Revival - S/D

ecstasy of st. theresa - sussurate

also: tonevendor (who are big-upped on the Sacramento C/D, S/D. thread) are daniel and heather of clairecords.

Where was Slough festival held? If that's not a silly question.

mbv's "soon" has a good beat but it's not really dancefloor-danceable (sorta like flipper's "sex bomb", &c).

THE EARLY YEARS!!!

Go get it. I heart them.

i'm still enjoying the fleeting joys album despite it being hilariously derivative

jeniferever are also v good

Is it a different mix from the album? I mean, I would actually say they're slightly better live than on album (well, apart from them not doing the harmonies live, but we've had a word about that, and they promise they'll try) but still, the album is bloody good.

There's a lot of The Church in here as well as the obvious Shoegaze/Krautrock references. This is why I keep thinking you'd like it.

"Simple Solution" wouldn't be out of place on The Blurred Crusade or Remote Luxury.

Er um uh. (Meaning, soonish?) Meantime I will be reviewing the Like a Daydream comp for the AMG, roxor.

They sent me a MySpace friend request awhile back that I never got around to answering. I'll give them a listen...

serious question--does the revival ever end? What's it like in the UK?

Seems like there's a lot more shoegazer/dreampop floating to the surface this year.

It is all kinda eternal at this point. For good/ill.

never forget

It was a great year for shoegazers and dreampop

And the new Alcest is just going to drive it even higher next year.

Shoegaze "was one of the wimpiest genres" of the 1990s. As opposed to "gangsta rap", I suppose.

sometimes it seems like a lot of the black metal stuff is really just renamed shoegazerz

No joke, I pretty much got into black metal via the stuff where the guitars sounded shoegaze-y to me.

thew new Chambermaids is great....lots of shoegaze stuff/dream/psych stuff in mpls these days

OTM

I really dig the new album (never heard the previous one TBH) from The History Of Apple Pie.
This is the first video/single from the album and it's also my favorite song, though I like the whole disc:

I wasn't sure what 2014 rolling thread to put this in and I didn't think the band was popular enough to devotre a new thread to so here it is! Hopefully someone likes it...

Previous album was good, haven't heard this new one but I'll check it out!

Really enjoyed their first album and looking forward to spending time with this.

it's a nice little record - oddly the two singles they preceded it with seem to be the two most out-of-place things on it

mentioned elsewhere but the two most recent album releases on shelflife - hobbes fanclub and luxembourg signal - both have sweetly shoegazey elements in amongst the jangle

and come recommended
