darla released the best album of last year. more than makes up for all the shit they've put out over the years.

I don't think so...

Saxby D. Elder, Friday, 16 March 2007 04:00 (nineteen years ago)

fuck off and die

electricsound, Friday, 16 March 2007 07:12 (nineteen years ago)

I need some school on Darla releases it seems! Jim??

dice in my pockets, Friday, 16 March 2007 08:12 (nineteen years ago)

apologies, i lost myself there for a moment. now i am a bit more composed.

don't get me wrong - darla has released a lot of crap, but there are some stellar gems in there too. most of it isn't really shoegaze though.

mahogany's 'connectivity' album is tremendous and should totally be searched. now it's coming out in britain it might actually get some attention from a sympathetic audience.

other great darla recs include:

the other two mahogany records (dream of a modern day, memory column)
auburn lull (produced by mahogany dude, sounds lovely even if the songs are a little thin at times)
saloon (post-stereolabby poppy thing, first album better than the second)
manual's azure vista (stunning)
photon band (psych)
the first two my morning jacket albums
a handful of the blissout EPs are really nice

Abby Go Go from Tuscaloosa.

So here's a new one from me -- the Voices, from Wales. Am reviewing this for Plan B and holy heck, how come I haven't heard these characters before? Nothing new but they put it together perfectly.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

we did some shows with these guys, super-shoegaze. some connection to Stratford 4 I think

how about 800 beloved.

cantabile, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

heard the aforementioned Sunkissed LP by Guitar a month ago and was reminded of it's Loveless-ishness... and not in a phony way, I mean straight up Loveless-esque textures.

Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 21:55 (nineteen years ago)

that came out lame. i meant that you hear so many incorrect/unfair comparisons of new bands to Loveless that it's like a kiss of death almost. but in this case, it's pretty spot-on IMHO LMBO.

Airiel's new album is pretty damn good, esp. "You Kids Should Know Better," which sounds like a Slowdive/BRMC mashup, only wayyyyy better than BRMC.

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

I don't want to say damning with faint praise there but...

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:26 (eighteen years ago)

I tried, but my "wayyyyy" isn't effective enough ;_;

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:29 (eighteen years ago)

A noble effort!

I'm really liking the Foxtail Somersault ep released this year.
Band's site to give the ep a listen -- http://foxtailsomersault.com/media.html

the brother kite are really, really good

also club ac30 has been putting out nothing but fantastic records for a while now - the domino state 45, the wry ep and the hearts of black science stuff has all been tremendous

electricsound, Friday, 23 November 2007 01:06 (eighteen years ago)

Alcest

Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 23 November 2007 01:08 (eighteen years ago)

the new Pluramon lp The Monstrous Surplus is great, and VERY shoegaze.

nerve_pylon, Friday, 23 November 2007 04:43 (eighteen years ago)

I still like that Rumskib album.

W4LTER, Friday, 23 November 2007 04:45 (eighteen years ago)

The last ac30 record I bought was the one with Highspire on it. After 1.5 bottles of wine and a lot of turkey the highspire track sounds great!

svend, Friday, 23 November 2007 05:20 (eighteen years ago)

everything they've put out since has been better than everything they put out up to that point

electricsound, Friday, 23 November 2007 05:33 (eighteen years ago)

I opened this thread to say Brother Kite. So.

Just stumbled upon Exit Calm's myspace. They're from the UK, shoegaze with soaring Bono vocals. I'm liking it a lot.

no-nonsense, Friday, 4 January 2008 22:49 (eighteen years ago)

gospel gossip are from northfield, mn and do shoegaze alongside sort of shorter poppier echo and the bunnymen stuff...really good

M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 4 January 2008 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

i agree with jim, brother kite are really really good. it seems so preposterous to say 'brian wilson fronting a shoegazer band' but that is really what it sounds like. they aren't quite amazing, but the next one could be.

keythkeyth, Saturday, 5 January 2008 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

brother kite is very very good. id say more pop than shoegaze as presented on records tho.

are they slept on, or just not marketable, i wonders?

Hunt3r, Sunday, 6 January 2008 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

Good band, yes.

Anyway, another recent favorite: Autodrone

http://www.myspace.com/autodrone

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 6 January 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

slept on, i think. if they'd been around in the early 90s and were on slumberland they would be massive

spc eco are quite good

electricsound, Monday, 11 February 2008 07:49 (eighteen years ago)

i didn't realise the singer was dean garcia's daughter

electricsound, Monday, 11 February 2008 07:50 (eighteen years ago)

khonnor will tickle you in a fenneszy fashion

straight, Monday, 11 February 2008 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

the new pia fraus has been produced by norman blake. that seems odd. out in may. secret shine album out in april.

keythkeyth, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:33 (eighteen years ago)

i was pretty down on secret shine after hearing that appalling "morris 1974-2005" record, but a couple of the recent singles have been ok. i hope they never do an acoustic record again.

electricsound, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

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

burt_stanton, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:36 (eighteen years ago)

Just the world didn't need.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

the recent singles form secret shine have been very good. i thought. i never heard that morris record. there is also a new malory record out this year apparently though they have been on a steady decline since the fantastic debut.

keythkeyth, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:44 (eighteen years ago)

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

electricsound, Monday, 11 February 2008 23:59 (eighteen years ago)

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.

keythkeyth, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 00:02 (eighteen years ago)

uhhhh, emogaze actually exists?

burt_stanton, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 00:10 (eighteen years ago)

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

electricsound, Friday, 14 March 2008 23:52 (eighteen years ago)

brother kite are recording their new album now.

keythkeyth, Saturday, 15 March 2008 00:34 (eighteen years ago)

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

electricsound, Monday, 28 April 2008 03:41 (eighteen years ago)

Cloudland Canyon are pretty gazey sometimes

Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 28 April 2008 05:33 (eighteen years ago)

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

Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 April 2008 05:34 (eighteen years ago)

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.
