Ambiguous idol group “· · · · · · ·” will be releasing their first single CD titled “Tokyo” , for the first time their release will distributed on a nationwide basis. · · · · · · · is a female idol group whose concept is based on various cities in Tokyo. The concept hasn’t fully been explained, perhaps to let fans and the public create their own interpretation.

· · · · · · · ‘s music follows the style shoegaze, a sub genre of alt rock that gained prominence in the United Kingdom in the late 80s and 90s.

Besides the concept, every other aspect of the group is just as mysterious. The group technically doesn’t have an official name, and each girl doesn’t have a name either. All of the members are simply referred to as “.” In videos and live performances, their eyes are covered by a cloth decoration.

Fans have dubbed the group dots, dotstokyo, tenkyuu (“nine dots”), dotnine, nakaguro (“middle dot”), tententen (“dotdotdot”) and ten-chans (“dot-chans). There is no official way to pronounce it, but their social media suggest dots.

Tokyo” actually consists of three different songs, which were then all joined together by ambient musician Hakobune. “Tokyo” will clock in at 72 minutes total and hit store shelves on August 16th, 2017. A large portion of the song will also consist of “noise music”, using sounds from live performances of each member. Barely any processing was used to create this part of the song.

Hakobune involvement also a nice touch.

"Drifting Inside" has a very AR Kane vibe.

From that bandcamp list, i took italian band rev rev rev: des fluers.... album, and i adore the hell out of the core style happening there, dronegaze plus a hint of noize. Damn pacifier for me. The producer ~knows~ the mbv wobble so damned well, almost too well. I was not sure of durability under repeats, but its only got better for me.

Also, the actual catpurr at the end of song one is the best catpurr placement imo (i’m sure theres tons of these i’ve never noticed or known of tho, because well, catpurr).

Kraus, mentioned above, is awesome.

Next on list danke!!

i also checked out lsd and the search for god from that bandcamp thing, and i think they are like, the most CORE shoegaze thing i've found. i love those EPs. I had to check for takes and i got:

i think "lsd and the search for god" are the most blatant mbv clone band i've ever heard

ha probly true for me too?!

lsd and the search for god are the biggest mbv ripoff band ever, right up to taking a decade to put out a fucking ep

i liked the last couple songs on that dead horse one record. didn't necessarily need a whole album of it.

i was complaining about the kraus thing that it has so little dynamism and crunch (and vox that are just not for me) that it goes into low wibble post-rock territory.

lsd folks at least have choons.

Dead horse one on my list, thx.

Whoa vervacious doves-ey britpope-gaze.

Yep, listening to it now

Just listened to the new single from somesurprises, motorik+shoegaze is generally gonna work for me but this really sounds great.

Cant wait.... ive been listening to the surf-psych fusion of satan’s pilgrim’s _psychslpoitation_, def wanting more gaze/drone/motorik now.

Love the new somesurprises. H/T to Tyler for the pointer.

Somesurprises is really nice- Alt is the most motorik and drone.

They’re great live, not sure if they play much outside the Pacific Northwest. The guitarist/vocalist also has a day job as an immigrant-rights attorney.

Not really new actually but anything from the mid-90s onwards is new shoegaze to me.

Back when I used to frequent the shoegaze forum everybody loved Malory, July Skies, Fleeting Joys and Hammock. I recently saw some of that stuff in the second hand section of a music store.

The only one I listened to years ago was Hammock and it was really nice, but there's a ton of "really nice" shoegaze (it was far more on the ambient side though) and I just wondered if you guys thought any of these stood up well in the genre.

Only thing I picked up in that second hand section was a 2 disc Hammock album.

Hammock are truly wonderful; their last ten years in particular are just one triumph after another. Never quite seem to get the full cachet they deserve on a wider front.

Shit, I'm getting mixed up with Auburn Lull. I don't actually remember if I had a Hammock album back then.

the Malory album i've heard is very good

Re: Hammock, seek out the movie Columbus, which they scored.

I’ll look for that, i like them a lot, though i map them more as guitar postrock not shoegaze.

I think the first i ever heard of them was maybe a link you did to a video of theirs, sanpaku.

That's pretty nice, liking his voice.

new split release from somesurpises and supercandy. somesurprises great as ever, supercandy i'd never heard before but sound really nice at first listen, they get v krautrocky as it goes on - http://open.spotify.com/album/5QK5mCG5HX2OP5HxFYyZyN

stoked to hear these, i liked that somesurprises a lot.

Great Russian band: https://sharkstears.bandcamp.com/album/experience-of-the-charm

And speaking of that (very excellent) band and others from Russia:

It was a real treat writing this!

Nice! How did you find out about them all?

Bandcamp music tags and a little research. Pinkshinyultrablast and Gnoomes I already knew about.

Thanks, Wooden Whales caught my interest most, probably due to the unusual for this genre vocals.

Even though this is one of my absolute favorite genres I often find myself listening to clips and feeling almost like someone who doesn't like the genre: most of it sounds so similar!

Really behind on this stuff, haven't listened to much of it in years, not even that Miniatures album I was excited about upthread.

Anyone keep up with labels that specialize in it? I recall Rocket Girl was quite a fan favorite on the old shoegaze forum.

I've been meaning to post this up, in fact, I was sure I already had but ctrl-f says otherwise, kinda epic indie/gaze from the UK. I like the big, upful sounding chorus.
