can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

melbourne's three month sunset (who recently changed their name to lowtide, though i don't think they've released anything under the new name yet) put out this lovely (but very heavily in debt to slowdive) EP last year.. it's good

Holy shit. I just found this release:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O77KH0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p15_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1TBSKHEE2B1ETV29E3EW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

It really has some beautiful tunes on there. Interested in hearing the newer album.
Someone let me know if they also think this is great.

had a listen to their EP on emusic, sounds nice

Yeah, its a really solid EP. It is always much more fun when you find something you know nothing about, and it turns out to be super good.

Hmm, like the cover.

Three Month Sunset really hit the Slowdive thing on the head, but the songs sound great! I need to hear the full versions now...

Also, Slowdive - Lowtide?

Hmm, like the cover.

I hear some Lilys leaning qualities in most of their material

mentioned it on the indie thread but the new Ringo Deathstarr single 'so high' is ripped straight from Ecstasy & Wine, except perkier. and is all the better for it.

so yeah there's a ringo deathstarr album now and it's quite something

HAAW!

i guess

I find MBV puns to be unavoidable, and I have ended many friendships because of them.

btw that album is great, i just despise the name like no other

electricsound why is it that whenever I search any of my favorite obscure 90s bands one of your posts always pops up?

Ringo Deathstar sounds like a chiptune band name.

I should check these guys oot, that said.

ha, bad habit of mine

Oh swoit *looks*

Holee shit yr not kidding about the Ecstcy and Wine rip. THis is adorb.

more ecstasy than wine imo

been listening to the new Cut Copy tonight & track #7: 'this is all we've got' is some premium 'gaze.

Cut Copy are gazey now? ... I thought they were more a presets-ish band, I have never given them much of a listen tbh

since the beginning, certain strains of CC have been pretty obviously shoegaze-influenced, but the track I mentioned sounds straight-up like an early Moose song. Most of the other tracks on the album are more blip-bleep, gloop-gorp than that.

heh heh gloop-gorp.

Hey I see this jam has already been mentioned but I wanted to post it here anyway...

heh

i admire the brazenness of it

Yeah those are some balls to steal so shammelessly but they do a damn fine job of it! I love it.

God what is WITH my typing at the moment, geez.

just got into swirlies again and don't think i'm leaving for another couple wks. holy fuck what an organized band.

That "So High" lick has been in my head for days now. no problem IMO with aping another band's sound as long as the songwriting is solid.

I can never figure out what my favorite Swirlies release is.

There are new vinyl copies of "What To Do About Them" on amazon and new vinyl copies of "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days..." on ebay for really cheap.

Blonder Tongue is the expensive rare one.

Anyway, I still highly recommend that She, Sir EP I was talking about here. Really great stuff. Not as crazy about the full length.

i have been enjoying the she sir EP a lot.

my fave swirlies is the slumberland 45. i think i might have expressed that i consider it among the top ten 45s of the 90s.

Ah yes, but it all appears on "What To Do About Them," along with some other incredible songs.

I've been getting into some shoegazey metal, like Les Discrets

Glad Sennen were at least mentioned. I don't think they sound like Teenage Fanclub.

Sometimes the "metalness" of the band's sound provide a hint of cheesiness, but I really like song. Thats awesome, chap.

That Sennen song is pretty huge, too.

Glad you like it, the whole Les Discrets album's pretty amazing.

It's one dude doing everything but the drumming, by the way.

Very cool, I'm going to check out the album.

cosign on Les Discrets

not really feeling the Ringo Deathstarr tunes I've heard -- like, I get it guys, you like MBV a whole fucking lot and can sing like Jim Reid blah blah etc etc. -- do you have ANY original ideas?

has anyone mentioned the Belong album on Kranky? that one's great, bit of a dream pop + drone hybrid w/ bits of 'gaze buried under a MASSIVE cloud of reverb & echo... like hearing an ultrasound of a shoegaze baby in the womb

hmm i'm not sure you 'get' shoegaze? like that's the genre in a nutshell iirc

nah i "get" it, would just prefer any sort of subtle twist on the formula, anything!
