can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

Ooh ty will give that a whirl!

All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavours are the great underrated 90s shoegaze band and Kairon; IRSE the great underrated one now, among others ofc

Cigarettes After Sex are the single worst band in the world. I hate them with a passion you can only guess at

(and if you want something in between those eras, Coaltar Of The Deepers should be much, much bigger with The Kids than they are imo!)

kairon; irse is proggier/psychier than any of the original blend shoegaze bands imo. good stuff tho

speaking of 'we have [x] at home', this Bloody Comeback song is Ulver at home lol (I am enjoying it)

but yeah where are the kids trying to sound like this ;_;

i still have my copy of turning into small. such a great mesh of my stereolab valentine. thy did it best in the states.

have put Frysh on, it's sounding quite interesting, excellent Y2Kwave (see also that one Fireside album)

we are however massively off-topic lol

Pitchfork w/their 2023 shoegaze revival article
https://pitchfork.com/features/article/the-shoegaze-revival-hit-its-stride-in-2023/

It has long seemed to me like the shoegaze approach to rock that has never dated or gone on a downswing, unlike the genres that it rose from -- goth, jangle, NYC noise, post-hardcore. Maybe because it has always sat in a sweet spot just below mainstream, accumulating interest as listeners age into it, hooks always buried enough you have to search for them. I don't really associate it with a generation or a wave. Like, when the UK music press tossed it aside, it was just getting going in the US.

I remember feeling a bit superior about that at the time, the landmark MBV/Ride/Slowdive albums had been and gone - with just the occasional mention of the term as an arch callback to its original put-down usage - and then the US was all “hay guys I looooove shoegaze” and lots of not-really-relevant or second-rate bands being picked up seemingly at random.

i was way into it and it woulda happened if it wasn’t for that meddling grunge. but all grunge did was push shoegaze just under the surface where it’s festered and now it is a wonderful ubiquitous toxic algae bloom.
