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?!

Hunt3r, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:31 (five years ago) link

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.

milkshake duck george bernard shaw (rushomancy), Friday, 7 September 2018 23:49 (five years ago) link

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.

Hunt3r, Saturday, 8 September 2018 00:13 (five years ago) link

Dead horse one on my list, thx.

Whoa vervacious doves-ey britpope-gaze.

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.

Hunt3r, Sunday, 30 September 2018 02:06 (five years ago) link

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

that's not my post, Sunday, 30 September 2018 05:17 (five years ago) link

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

Hunt3r, Sunday, 30 September 2018 18:11 (five years ago) link

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.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link

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.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link

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

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link

the Malory album i've heard is very good

omar little, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:38 (five years ago) link

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

Sanpaku, Saturday, 1 December 2018 12:52 (five years ago) link

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.

but i'ma chud. i'ma weirdo. what the hell am i doing here? (Hunt3r), Saturday, 1 December 2018 19:45 (five years ago) link

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

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!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 June 2019 17:18 (four years ago) link

Nice! How did you find out about them all?

Evan, Thursday, 27 June 2019 19:59 (four years ago) link

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

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 June 2019 20:58 (four years ago) link

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.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 29 June 2019 12:33 (four years ago) link

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

Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 29 June 2019 12:36 (four years ago) link

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.

i don't understand in what this is, like, a label? or a flexi playlist? but i do enjoy that rocketgirl100 collection as i listen to it.

Hunt3r, Friday, 26 July 2019 17:56 (four years ago) link

Er, no, it says right there:

70 page book with an artwork print

One flexi 7"

Miniatures - Jessamines is pretty good but the song that made me buy it ("What You Want") is definitely the best one.

All of Lorelle Meets The Obsolete's albums are $2 on Bandcamp until the end of the year. All are recommended but start from the recent ones (De Facto, Balance) and work backwards. (short history: LMTO are from Guadalajara, started off conventionally gazing at shoes for a couple albums and then made a lateral turn into something more interesting - think of Broadcast or even School of Seven Bells)

I just got into their first album, thanks for reminding me to check out the later stuff.

quite a poor name but I'm fond of these, who i saw as a support band a few years ago and have been to see 3 or 4 times since. lp is quieter and slower than their gigs and i think it'd be better if they'd not sequenced a couple of the similar-sounding tracks together like they have, but hey...

koogs, Monday, 3 February 2020 18:57 (four years ago) link

oh, am specifically taking about the new LP, eulogies

koogs, Monday, 3 February 2020 18:57 (four years ago) link

Recent discovery for me, might have been mentioned on here before -- Draag. New single's quite nice.

https://draagdraag.bandcamp.com/

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 February 2020 19:07 (four years ago) link

There's a newish Stargazer Lilies and it's produced by Tobacco, which apparently means something to people (I only know the name).
