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.

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

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 ;_;

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
― van smack, Saturday, 25 August 2007 04:08 (eighteen years ago)
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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

― 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?

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.

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

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.
