can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

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

This the one?
https://rocketgirl100.bandcamp.com/

Great comp, but no, it is this:

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.

Er, no, it says right there:

70 page book with an artwork print
One 7”
One flexi 7"
One CD
Plus all tracks on a download code

Album is out and very good

ha i was gonna post that and forgot to do. yes, it's very good and enjoyable.

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...

oh, am specifically taking about the new LP, eulogies

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

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

Don't know where else to put this:

I'm now never going to unhear "shoegaze" pronounced "shoe-gaz-ee".

Haha. Slowdivee

oh no

part of me died

I only said "what you want?"

"Don't ask why! I believe, in another way, nothing much to lose. I need no trust!"

Lose my breath? You never should. "Sugar, good for you! How do you do it?"

"Emptiness inside... No more sorry!"

I can see it (but I can't feel it) "All I need. You made me realize. Good for you."

There was a massive homophobe on the old shoegazing forum who loved Bill Clinton, wonder if that's him.

I didn't know where else to post about the new No Joy album, Motherhood, which only sounds like shoegaze on occasion. It's wild!

Oh, I have to check that out!

Came across this band today, from 2016, so new-ish. Really good set of influences, slowed down Swervedriver perhaps but with some of that Sci-Fi alt-rock thing, Hum, Lusk, Failure, and so on.

Please can I recommend Ian Sweet (not a solo guy, actually a solo woman / eponymous band), who only seems to have been mentioned twice ever on ILM and not at all in this thread. I was drawn to her music in by lush (lowercase L) guitar textures and unusual chord voicings that put me in mind of 90s Blonde Redhead or Sonic Youth. Last year I played her album Crush Crusher to death and she has a new song, Dumb Driver, which is pretty fricking nice. As with BR, she's an alumnus of Berklee and, fittingly, is the cover star on a Berklee shoegaze podcast on Spotify.

Sounds good, thanks!

I'm about two minutes into this new No Joy album and yes it is very very good

don't really know where to put this, but this is a great version of this jefre cantu-ledesma song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07d_coPy7Ws

that's "Julie Byrne & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love's Refrain" btw

I was selling records and a guy described a band as “shoegaze” but 100% unironically pronounced it to rhyme with Fugazi.

That is how I'm saying shoegaze from now on.

Shugazi would be a good tribute band schtick

would love a full album of Byrne and Cantu-Ledesma now

Agreed! I love Julie Byrne's voice but I've never really been too excited about the music on her records before

The new Nothing really hits on some MBV vibes, especially on the back half of the record. Not particularly original, but def some nice shoegaze guitar work.

Not that new, but more recent than the heyday of shoegaze...been going back to this sound, and I've been playing Vissuda a lot. From 2013.

They're not new, really, but: Keith Kenniff, who does stuff as Helios and Goldmund, and his wife Hollie have a duo called Mint Julep that hits a really lovely electronic pop/shoegaze sweet spot -- new album out yesterday

Beautiful new single from Suzanne Kraft. Track 2 is the one here, down to the melty whammy bar

파란노을 (Parannoul) - To See the Next Part of the Dream

srsly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3MpfosuxU

parannoul record rules, there's good tunes buried in the garageband murk

I'd lost track of Pia Fraus over the years, but last year's 'Empty Parks' album is extremely nice as it turns out.

Flyying Colours - "White Knuckles", one of the best neo-shoegaze I've heard in ages

Happy to see more folks discovering them. I first ran across them on one of Going Steady Music's mixtapes and each subsequent release has only been better. Check 'em out: https://flyyingcolours.bandcamp.com/

this is grebt but also i'm waiting for peter hook to somehow sue the fuck out of them for 'it's real'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6XmySDTtoQ

Ha I was thinking it was the same tune as “Dancing in the Dark”

Mexican band Margaritas Podridas, sounds wonderful, grungey too

Yeah they're solid, need to relisten to them more.
