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:

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.

Oh god oh god oh god.

That might already be the Helio Sequence (who I like but anyway).

(Alternately, maybe Coldplay is long already the washed-out and tamped down version of this.)

The Helio Sequence to me sounds like Modest Mouse gone alt-shoegaze. Not a good thing.

the new songs on the brother kite website are dismal. fountains of wayne-ish power pop, yikes.

Vanessa Van Basten. The band. Italian. Endlessly better than the first and second wave of twiddlers.

wow. Vanessa Van Basten. thanks for the suggestion. But too bad there's no hot frontwoman named Vanessa.

sad day for puppets <3 <3

also the suki ewers album is probably more slowcore than shoegaze (kramer prod, heavily in debt to galaxie/mazzy star) but i'm sure youse guys would diggit

New Engineers album that just came out is pretty fuckin decent.

^^^^omg they're back?!?!??!?!?!!!?!?!?!

Is it out yet? is it as good as rumoured?

6 July apparently. I actually visited their Myspazz about 2 months ago and the new stuff seemed good.

...but I didn't know the album was due this soon!

Disappointed in the new album cover, tbh, but really glad they have a new one coming out. Also glad to see some ilm love for these guys!

hang on, is that an *actual* Cluster sample there?
