can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

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.

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?

Sorry to be slow in replying but yes Engineers album's out and its pretty awerome -synths and proggy and shoegazey goodness.

gotta pick that up. the lea shores album that just came out is super lovely too

i probably mentioned it on the rolling indie thread but the SPC ECO album is really really lovely.

was disappointed by the 2nd fleeting joys record. songs maybe a little less weak than the first but they seemed to have ditched trying to sound like mbv for sounding like lenola instead

beyond that things seem to be pretty quiet in shoegaze land, at least as far as i'm aware

love the drums on "shine on down"

cant find it anywhere tho, just copping myspace streams

tis on emusic and also sh0egaz3ralive

i like SPC ECO, but arent they really a 1 by 1 copy-paste band of 90's shoegaze?
they do it good - yes, but totally nothing that you havent heard before.

you're on a thread about a genre that's been endlessly retreading itself for nearly 20 years

i don't know if that's an especially compelling criticism

you know what'd be good, is shoegaze-meets-baltimore club

haha jk i think i'd kill myself and all of u

good point, though still - there are some acts who succeeded in performing the genre with a new ,interesting angle.

xpost

no argument here. i certainly would never claim that most of these bands are anything close to original. they just all happen to have a sound that pushes the right buttons for me..

of course, were they getting large amounts of hype on p4k, i would be hating on them so fast

also looooool haitch

hand programmed electrogaze action. maybe someone will like it- maybe even Jim. it sounds better hella loud and when drinking. not a bmore club thang.

turn drums down and everything else up and you've got a winner

i have shitty eq gear but i get you, jim. winner? thanks.

Yeah, good job. What electric sound said... I would add even more distortion, and how about a melody?

Thanks, The supposed vocalist never showed up.....supposed to provide the melody part. Dude said like too upbeat.

I wanna hear tunes from ilxors now...guh.

you be wanting this thread: What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

For sure. But I created this thread so I figured to add to it.
