Glifted is easily one of the most innovative nu-shoegaze bands I can think of. A lot more loop heavy and trancey shoegaze.

has anyone mentioned the Belong album on Kranky? that one's great, bit of a dream pop + drone hybrid w/ bits of 'gaze buried under a MASSIVE cloud of reverb & echo... like hearing an ultrasound of a shoegaze baby in the womb
listening to this right now; this is great!

used to be much more black metal, now almost exclusively shoegazey.
― omar little, Thursday, 23 February 2012 08:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
Italy's Be Forest is an interesting proposition. They won't persuade non-gazers, but they're a lot better than the also-rans of the 2nd and 3rd generation.
From Be Forest's 2011 album Cold:FlorenceDust
From their current "Hanged Man" single:Hanged ManI.O.

Anybody know the deal with this band "Now, Now" that's featured on Spotify today? Girl vocal shoegazey 90's vibe, don't quite get why Spotify would pick it out, though it's good. Not many views of their videos...
― dlp9001, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 18:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
New Frankie Rose album, Interstellar, is pretty much shoegaze.

Whenever I see any band featured on Spodify, I figure someone's record company has paid to put it there. I wouldn't read too much into it.
― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
Hmmm, a little research reveals that Now, Now is in many ways Tegan & Sara gone shoegaze, which is a great thing to me, but probably a scary thought for most of ILM.

Whirr's debut LP, Pipe Dreams, out March 13, 2012 on Tee Pee.
this is pretty damn good, imo.

I think I've posted about Ghost Society before (maybe in this thread?). Anyway, I just came across this live-in-studio performance from 2012 which is kind of jawdropping. The precision with which Sara Savery does the Liz Fraser-ish vocal bit in the post-chorus is great.

Glad to hear you're liking the Golden Awesome, ESoJ - did you ever hear any of vocalist Stef's work as Stef Animal? Was going to release something on Bachelorette's label about five years ago, but lost the masters - of the bits & pieces that had bobbed around, there was a gorgeous cover of the 3Ds' "Cash None", amongst other things.

i didn't - tbh i can't remember how i tripped over the GA in the first place! do they have any available releases at all?
― scumulator (electricsound), Saturday, 7 April 2012 23:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
Nothing official, sadly. I'll have a fossick around - what I have might be in storage back in NZ, but if not I'll send it your way. Stef was in Dunedin band Mëstar ages ago with John White, too - dreampop bubblegrunge tracks like Secret Garden hold up pretty well imo.

Golden Awesome have an album out on M'Ladys & you can get in here on Bandcamp http://thegoldenawesomenz.bandcamp.com/
Album also available on vinyl

Oh, wait, Golden Awesome totally have a release out; was meaning Stef Animal =p
M'Ladys connection is via Fi from Coasting IIRC, who used to be in (awesome NZ band) the Coolies.

ah there you go - quite dig coasting too, though their album is a touch more lo-fi than really works for them
