Also, look up a band on MP3.com called the Flashing Astonishers. Or the Flaming Astonishers. One of the two.

YES! Especially The Sound of the Colour of the Sun. Absolute classic (if you're into shoegazer, that is).

whoops! I actually forgot to paste your post before mine. I figured out the track I heard was "Gleaming Auction", but other songs on the album, 'Final Straw' sound similar.

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.

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.

Shoegaze "was one of the wimpiest genres" of the 1990s. As opposed to "gangsta rap", I suppose.
― Sweetfrosti (I M Losted), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link
sometimes it seems like a lot of the black metal stuff is really just renamed shoegazerz
― Multiple Miggs (dandydonweiner), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 03:07 (ten years ago) link
No joke, I pretty much got into black metal via the stuff where the guitars sounded shoegaze-y to me.

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M80Rn843dKI
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...

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
― outback bumfuc (electricsound), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:38 (nine years ago) link
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
