Anyone heard anything about the new LSD and the Search for God album?

Also, finally got around to listening to this, I loved it way more than Loveless.

>>53172651
I'm serious though. Anything significant from this millenia(apart from mbv) even related to shoegaze is digital- electronic, noise, ambient fusions.

>>53172667
Fuck I forgot about that nigga, it better come out or I'll be PISSED

>>53172699
maybe i just dont get rock music but i literally like a single shoegaze record from the past millenia. and i like to convince myself the foundations to cocteau twins are a lot more notable than the atrocities of shit rock music that followed them and that sound
watched beautiful noise and that am now completely convinced myself mbv is the only relevant rock shoegaze band

>>53172521

>>53172606
I'll have to check it out, I really like Honeybee from HSfHZ

>>53172699
>if it isn't attempting something completely inventive or novel you shouldn't listen to it
Please leave.

You know what's really boring about shoegaze? It's basically Loveless: The Genre. Every new album that gets praised seems to be evaluated on how close it is to Loveless. Hell most of /mu/ doesn't even like Ride which is the second-biggest classic shoegaze band.

All the shit that crops up and gets hype here is more copycat stuff in the Loveless template. After two decades you'd think they'd come up with something different. The only thing that sort of goes in a different direction is J-gaze and only because it's poppier and punkier, still not exactly a revolution.

>>53173429
>most pure shoegaze bands are derivative and bland
You think you're the first to point this out? It's called "the genre that celebrates itself" for a reason.

any recommendations for stuff like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaA8T17zDQU

I love this band and I've already heard most of what they've done. Also, any French shoegaze stuff out there worth listening to? I love the language so much.

Anyone know any Shoegaze with female vocals?

Just listened to the new Title Fight album. I was really impressed considering their old material was emo I guess. I'm guilty of never listening to their old stuff though.

>>53169295

Great albums. Ride is my favorite gaze band.
Listen to the track, Grasshopper, if you haven't already.

lol is this a joke

opinions on the new The Soft Moon and A Place to Bury Strangers albums?

I thought the new APTBS was a bit dull, The Soft Moon was pretty good though, so NIN/Ministry sounding at parts

>>53175474
It's not really a joke, no.

Even something that sounds only a little bit Shoegaze-y.

>>53175849
I wouldn't even know where to begin there's just so many, start with School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms on the chart I posted and just move down the line from there, I think the first row has a real bunch of female vocals, but the whole chart is probably over 50% female vocal oriented.

Any Rec's for Dream Pop like this?
This album just creates the most beautiful, peaceful, harmonious, angelic, dreamy atmosphere and also fills me with joy.

>>53176700
There's nothing like this :( I've found nothing that comes close

their discog is similar enough though if you haven't listened to it

>>53176620
Oh that's nice. Thanks.

>>53176782
so you're saying that this is the logical conclusion to dream pop? Is there atmospheric blackgaze with a dreamier vibe to it?

>>53176855
I feel like dreamy and blackgaze would be at odds with one another, the sounds wouldn't mix well, but feel free to prove me wrong.

>>53176924
alcest?
except i don't like alcest

>>53176924
Sunbather?
I could see Varg Vikernes being able to pull off black dreamgaze. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss has certain elements that make me think this.

>>53176959
>>53177136
These weren't really what I was thinking of, but I guess I could see it.

Not what I had in mind either; I play the drums already but hope to buy my friend's guitar and start learning that. When I do; I'll work towards making a black dreamgaze album. It'll be called Itherael or something of the sort.

Idk if this is shoegaze but it sounds pretty good.
it's called nature eternal striving, very atmospheric, long tracks.

>>53176700
I've been looking for some months, and I'm pretty sure this album is completely unique. Not that many things can come close in terms of sound.
Also what would be your favourite song from that album? (apart from the first one of course)

I prefer Dream Pop over shoegaze mainly because there are only a small number of shoegaze bands that are actually good and most modern bands are trying to sound like MBV too much. Also I would call Slowdive dream pop mainly with some shoegazey parts

It's pretty cursory. The questions that are asked in interviews are boring. You get the sense that Kevin Shields and Robin Guthrie and the guys from JAMC are brilliant, but you don't get any cool insights.

I've listened to a couple shoegaze albums, mainly this one.
I've been meaning to get into shoegaze, but I can't seem to like some. I tried listening to loveless and i couldn't really get into it, same thing with pygmalion.
Anybody have any suggestions?

First I thought 'how is this shoegaze?' and then I realized it's actually a really solid altrock album that happened to exist on the right place at the right time. Thoughts on this beast?

>>53188043
try Souvlaki; it's way more accessible than Pygmalion.

>>53188043
The Besnard Lakes

>>53188074
right, I'll try that.
Do you think I should revisit Pygmalion after listening to Souvlaki for a while?
>>53188081
I'll try to listen to that too.

>>53188121
>Do you think I should revisit Pygmalion after listening to Souvlaki for a while?
I'd go back to Just for a Day first. Pygmalion is certainly worth revisiting but it's pretty much 'Slowdive listen to Laughing Stock once and make a record about it'.

>>53173576

>>53191579
look up their defenitions, or listen to music from both genres, and figure out the difference

>>53191122
this album is way too long and has a pretty bad cover. i found it to be vapid and boring on my first and only listen

>>53190620
Yeah, pretty sure those are the lyrics

opinions on the new APTBS?
it's barely shoegaze but I'm liking it more on the second listen. has a really volatile, unpredictable, anti-melodic feel compared to the rest of their music.

Regarding transfixiation, what happened to APTBS? I thought the two tracks I heard were pretty dull. I enjoyed worship for what it was, I guess. RIP in pieces.

>>53188350
More dronegaze in this thread

>>53194027
stop listening to it expecting "shoegaze". if you've read interviews regarding the album it's got a kind of anti-perfection, almost no-wavey feel to it. i think they released the most accessible tracks as singles. highlights for me are: love high, im so clean, i will die. last track sounds like an unhinged deerhunter song recorded with an ipod nano but mastered really well, its actually cool as fuck. don't write it off bc of the singles.

But recently just downloaded that popular Sweet Trip album for the first time so I can't wait to listen to it.

>>53194424
Sorry I meant of last year, I didn't know there were enough shoegaze albums coming out to already start considering AOTYs. But I also have the new APTBS so I'm fucking excited for that.

>>53194230
I listened to those tracks, with a lowered expectation, and I can say it wasn't bad. I feel it'll be a "has to grow on me" album. I went in kinda expecting this at first

Swervedriver is very underrated. Prime Shoegaze for the alternative/grunge crowd. They really got down a sort of euphoric rush with a bonus additional wall of sound. One of a kind. I get so hypnotized and lost in the jam sections.

They haven't (yet) but I figure it would be somewhat like a mix between Pygmalion and Souvlaki. There's no label trying to push them right now so it probably won't be another pop record but I think they realize Pygmalion was a bit of a dead end.
