can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

i know what emogaze is already

i never heard that third malory lp. not worth the time? the first two are beautiful, tho i prefer the second

the third is more similar to the second than the first. they keep losing the fuzz. it's cleaner than the first two records, more pop but still kinda dreary.

uhhhh, emogaze actually exists?

APPLESEED CAST

surprised not to see more asobi seksu love. the latest stuff is so lovely. i understand now why they headline club ac30 all the time.

i don't know if anyone else has been keeping up with the club ac30 singles but the recent air formation one was very good, the televise remixes were nice if unremarkable, exit calm heading into anonymous shoegaze territories

brother kite are recording their new album now.

prolific

heard bits of the new secret shine, it sounds like their sarah album but with not quite as good vocals

tears run rings lp is fairly standard clairecords fare but i like it a lot

Cloudland Canyon are pretty gazey sometimes

A friend just recommended Sea Dweller as well as this blog in general:

I just got this self-described shoegaze band's album and will probably be seeing them live in a couple weeks:

between them, Thrushes (previously mentioned upthread) and Wye Oak there's a nice little shoegaze mini-boom in Baltimore these days.

Rescue Mission from Austin TX isn't half bad: http://www.myspace.com/rescuemissionmusic

most of their tunes have a sort of Ride/Swervedriver/Catherine Wheel sound going on, with bits of early Cure (see "Conversion" via the myspace link) once in a while. maybe not shoegaze-y enough in the production, more pop, but the influences are definitely there.

the guys opened for BIRD (aka Mark Burgess and Yves Altana) on their US tour last spring, even did a Chameleons cover ("View from a Hill") with Mark on vocals, pretty cool. they've got my full recommendation.

in fact, from the myspace bio:

Founded in early 2005, Rescue Mission was formed in the interest of creating an 80s British post-punk inspired pop group with a mixture of 90s shoegaze/wall of sound influences.

The High Violets adhere the shoegazing basics, but they've got a good spin on things to make it worth a listen. They're terrific live

Basinski-shoegaze: Belong. So gorgeous!

The Distant Relatives
^Badass album just came out.
Abby Go Go
^ from Tuscaloosa, AL. Broken up now, have a new band or something. Good.

new pia fraus and daysleepers albums up on emusic

downloading now...

Belong OTM, Colorloss Record is a beautiful EP

labelmates with the ace Anemones too

I saw a shoegaze band called Sennen a couple of years ago. Certainly as a live band they seemed appealing.

they sound like teenage fanclub now (if it's the same one)

speaking of teenage fanclub i note that this new pia fraus thing was produced by norman blake. not that it's obvious in the sound, although an individual personality is coming through far more here than their previous stuff. whether that's the band or norman it's difficult to say

the secret shine album is probably as good as their earlier stuff but i really do think it's time for them to hand the mixing duties over to someone new. whatever vocal processing they're using is starting to really grate

one listen to the daysleepers album tells me that the brother kite have really changed the shoegazing landscape. this can only be a good thing

i really like that alcest record. it's very pretty. sort of melancholy and deeply pensive in a way that isn't depressing at all.

really like asobi seksu. quite like rescue mission. certain other bands that have been mentioned are good too...

actually, the alcest is excellent. i thought i was gonna wind up finding it thin initially, but it's a total grower.

i can't get enough of the latest charmparticles album. i think this is easily one of the top 5 gaze albums of this decade

will check that out, mr. sound.

yay!

(it gets even better with repeated listenings)

pains of being pure at heart <3

sounds like dave conway era mbv. which as anyone knows is their best era.

anyone listening to the Sunset records?

don't know em, got a link?

the latest auburn lull album is not nearly as good as cast from the platform..

Is Monster Movie still a band? There are a handful of tracks of theirs I still come back to and get obsessed with every couple of months.

Shugazi?

Is Monster Movie still a band?

They were still recording as of March, but no news since.

Those last couple Sunset records were okay. After I was done listening to them I couldn't remember a note.

Blackstrap are really good. Not pure shoegaze, but there's definitely a heavy influence:

the latest auburn lull album is not nearly as good as cast from the platform..

this is incorrect. :)

ok to be fair it's pretty good,there's just no big pop hit like 'season of false starts'

autodrone are pretty good, remind me of scarling a bit, hope sandoval-esque singer

^avoid their earlier EP though, like it was plague

aspen woods are more psychy than gazey but are v good

also been diggin the voices, and headquarters. again a bit more psych than gaze but reverby enough to fit in

digging this new Asobi Seksu album that Polyvinyl sent me. reminds me of Sugar Plant at times, which is a good thing. older Sugar Plant. not later ultra-dreamy/trance Sugar Plant. other songs actually sound like Kitchens of Distinction + female vocs. which is also a good thing.

saw them live the other night (w/ Thrushes, the Baltimore shoegaze band I mentioned upthread), almost fell asleep but that had more to do with me feeling terrible and exhausted than them, although they didn't help. new album is definitely less listenable than Citrus.

i've never heard citrus. or anything else by them. i really like this album though, so, i guess i'd really really like citrus. i mean, it's nothing "new", you know, but it's pleasant and i like the pretty noises.

yeah, pretty noises never go out of style

Looking forward to the new A Sunny Day in Glasgow album.

Trying to remember who I heard the other day that actually stood out amid the usual hoohah. I should take more notes.

my new thing: emogaze. you'll know what i mean in 2009.
