I was wondering what happened to Air Formation -- I thought the earlier effort was good, not great.

Highspire, them I've not heard of. Hmm...

i was kinda let down by the last monster movie record.... considering the lineage, i was hoping for better.

i love quotes like, "american kids don't really do shoegazing all that well"... [insert cynical derision here.]

Has anyone mentioned the new Dykehouse on here, thats got a pretty shoegazey feel.

It made me dig out Sunkissed by Guitar the other day, I don't seem to like it anymore.

I think if you're gonna do Shoegazery kind of stuff I reckon you have to be really analogue (maybe a bit lofi) with it, digital shoegaze sounds too processed to my ears and lacks that other worldly sound.

I don't know if that made much sense, I'm trying to say

Digital/Electro Shoegaze = 3d Computer generated other worldly landscapes a la Primus artwork or something.

The MBV sound = A really chunky abstract Van Gogh.

there's a new Coastal album and a reissue of the first For Against album just out. very very excited about both.

Reviewed both for the AMG!

sweeet

― purple patch (electricsound), Saturday, 14 August 2004 03:27 (nineteen years ago) link

i hope that words on music reish some of the other for against stuff, especially "december"..

eleven months pass...

the latest Color Filter album "silent way" is completely wonderful. dreamy and blissful but in a far more subtle way than 99% of so-called 'shoegaze' releases..

sydney band Sounds Like Sunset's new album "Invisible" is like a heavier Joy Zipper / Autolux type thing and the songs are great. highly recommended, and not just because TB are supporting them when they come to melbie

Can someone please talk about Sennen (the UK band)? That is, if they're worth talking about.

Pacific UV is like a poorman's Spiritualized, but still not bad.

i love their album. i sometimes see the spiritualized connection, sometimes not. but it's really good anyway.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 10 November 2005 14:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i can second color filter, i saw them play in Setagaya tokyo this time last year and they were fab, sort of strung between your '92 vintage pedal hoppers with a lush saint etienne-y , laptopy quality. sonic cathedral should get them over to play IMMEDIATELY.

god i wish i was in tokyo now.

All this Skywave love and no mention of A Place To Bury Strangers?

C'mon, people.

i know its been said before in other threads but the Radio Dept. album "lesser matters" is top notch.

and the newest Air Formation album on clairecords is also quite good.

and i guess its not exactly new, but the Mahogany single/ep collection on darla is excellent, better than their LP i'd say.

― brontosaur, Thursday, 10 November 2005 21:44 (eighteen years ago) link

it's been a while since i've listened to the first mahogany album.. maybe i'll queue up the whole lot and have a mahogany listening orgy

Can't stop praising Experimental Aircraft. I'm stoked about their new fucking double album coming soon...

HOLLA!

Malory's new record is kinda good, in a way that they imitate Slowdive as good as possible

― Rizz (Rizz), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, when I heard Ladytron the first thing that popped into my head was "Catherine Wheel!" Of course, it's not shoegaze simpliciter, but there are a lot of shoes being gazed at there.

― Vornado, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I did not hear Catherine Wheel at all with the new (I assume you talking about Witching Hour) Ladytron.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Amusement Parks on Fire are ace, Air Formation,Heroes of Switzerland,Ex Air,theres loads of good bands now. Check out www.shoegaze.co.uk and go on the forums:)

For an awesome modern take on shoegaze, check out Serena Maneesh (http://www.serena-maneesh.com). I've also got a shoegaze retrospective I'm working through on my site, if you'd like to check that out: http://areyoufamiliar.blogspot.com/ (scan through the archives)

― Familiar, Tuesday, 29 November 2005 08:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i like serena maneesh but i wouldn't call them either shoegaze or awesome

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 08:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, if you discount the fact that they cop MBV to a tee, you're right.

― Familiar, Tuesday, 29 November 2005 15:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Can't stop praising Experimental Aircraft. I'm stoked about their new fucking double album coming soon...

i just discovered last night that they are still around. they were great!

Seconded on the Jesu tip.

I still need to get the Serena Maneesh album, as well.

Still waiting for the long-promised Experimental Aircraft album. They've been kind of erratic in the past, but their best stuff is about as good as anyone's. Supposedly it's due this year...

Flowers of Hell. Flowers of Hell. Oh god, yes, Flowers of Hell.

On Earworm to boot. OK, maybe more Dronerock than Nu-gaze but still. Yum!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

they're both far more dreamy rock than out-and-out shoegaze, but the new albums by both kubichek and apartment are really damn good.

― electricsound, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Ahhh, you mean "nugaze"....

The Vera Violets are really cool.

I like them. There are others. Try them first.

― Saxby D. Elder, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 04:17 (seventeen years ago) link

re Flowers of Hell - are all their tracks instrumetals as per their myspace page ?

― mark e, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 09:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, instrumental tracks. Actually, there's one that kind of has voices on it,but it's background harmonies and not "vocals" per se, more like just another instrument in the mix.
