Dumping what I have

>>11129211
Pls recommend beginner-tier shoegaze albums

I think I could get into this genre

>>11129243
Loveless, Souvlaki, and psychocandy are my favorites

>>11129267
psychocandy is not shoe gaze it's noise pop

>>11129267

also Ride - Nowhere, Catherine Wheel - Chrome, Swervedriver, Verve's debut.

>>11129211
Neil Halstead bowl cut >> Liam Gallagher bowl cut

>>11129243
Asobi Seksu - Citrus
M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
the Seven Percent Solution - All About Satellites and Spaceships
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
the Radio Dept - Lesser Matters
Slowdive - Pygmalion, Souvlaki

>>11129243
Listen to Loveless and stop, it doesn't get any better the more you get into it.

>>11129298
In general I agree that Loveless is the pinnacle. I love Heaven or Las Vegas as much but I think of it as dreampop rather than shoegaze.

>>11129298
>>11129328
fuck off p4k drones
Souvlaki and Dead Cities... are both Loveless-tier

>>11129328
I was just gonna rec Heaven or Las Vegas but yeah it's more dreampop than shoegaze, and I like Loveless way more though. Are the other Cocteau Twins albums worth checking out?

>>11129336
wow so angry!! they are fine albums but they are not loveless tier in my hog-fucking opinion

>>11129340
Treasure is my second-favorite Cocteaus album

>>11129348
sorry, i forgot i wasn't on /mu/ hehe
Loveless is a special, effervescent thing
that being said there's a whole lot more to shoegaze than most ppl know

>>11129367
better than loveless?

>>11129372
subjectively, there are shoegazey-albums i put on it's level, but that might b b/c of the memories i associate with them

wait until i've graduated college and i'll revise that

as an aspiring musician, loveless is clearly the more technically innovative one, but the songwriting and sequencing on souvlaki speaks to me more?

Would you people consider Curve shoegaze? I love a lot of their stuff.

>>11129356
thanks, I will give it a listen then

>>11129275
it's basically proto-shoegaze
let it slide

>>11129243
on the lighter side
The Verve - A Storm in Heaven
SPC ECO - Silver Clouds EP
The Sunshine Factory - Sugar

on the heavier/noisier side
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise EP
東京酒吐座 - Crystallize
I am a Lake of Burning Orchids - Summer in my Veins

>>11129298
>>11129328
I find it interesting that the only album to stand up to Loveless in the subsequent years is mbv, released 22 years later by the same band.

>>11129436
m b v sucked ass though

>>11129445
why do you say that?
what did you dislike about it?

>tfw you find a cool local shoegaze band

need to see them gig soon

https://blushresponsemusic.bandcamp.com/album/dead-air

I like whirr a lot, their stuff is pretty consistently good. Nothing is a good band too but it's kinda more like grungegaze

You should check this out.

/mu/

>>11129243
big 3 are:
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
Ride-Nowhere
Slowdive- Soulvaki Space Station

I argue for Alison's Halo- Eyedazzler also being included as a top tier, big 4 album

the shugazi threads on /mu/ have an extensive listening chart and tend not to be propagated by the other faggots infesting the board

>>11130433
>implying anyone can actually discuss music on /mu/

on topic with this thread, flannels, loose jeans and converse all stars or chucks are literally all you need to start feeding 3 pedals through 7 distortion pedals and a blender

Does anyone want to talk about the /fa/ aspect of shoegaze?

mbv - loveless

>>11131008
It has been made fun of as a scene for most of its existence, not sure if that's effay.

>drifting off to the textures of extended guitar feedback and solipsistic melancholy
>getting lost in a sea of sound knowing that there's a qt somewhere but not here

loose clothes and sleepy eyed, lost in thought and static bliss

it's sonic heroin for the head in the clouds set, /fa/ as fuck

>>11131042
counterpoint: it's the scene that celebrates itself, and always has been

>>11131068
What's the hairstyle called?

>>11129211
>>11131102

It's called a skater cut. I'm not even /fa/, I just remember this shit from the 90's.

>>11129243
try glitter by pasteboard

>>11129211
Yo this nigga OD and is now dead.

>>11131068
This is probably one of the most pretentious fucking bullshit posts I've read on this board.

>>11131288
nice opinion there faggotron you must be new

>>11129243
A Sunny Day in Glasgow – Sea When Absent

>>11132053
It's the way that you over-wrote it you fucking mong.
>drifting off to the textures of extended guitar feedback and solipsistic melancholy
Embarrassing.

>All this souvlaki love from slowdive 'fans'

Wow, it's almost like Pygmallion doesn't even exist. I guess I should've expected shit taste from a fashion board though.

>>11129290
