Do you guys know any hardcore sounds?

Listened to pic related last night, it gave me a feeling really similar to HANL(I think they're even on the same label?). Really heavy but still has that sort of shoegaze warmth

Have you listened to this album? I think I've found it in a sharethread or an earlier /shugazi/ thread. As with most shoegaze albums I've listened to, it seems to me that most of them get better with multiple listens and Newmoon''s Space might become one of my favorites. It has a bleak, crushing and finally a feeling of relief. Definitely give it a listen.

>>72218007

Yeah they're both part of The Flenser, you could probably peek at some other bands on there for more shoegaze bands of a similar variety.

Planning for Burial even manufactured some cassettes of HANL's compilation album Voids which was pretty sweet.

what are your favorite riffs in shoegaze?

>>72220640
Seagull bassline

>>72218829
wow, getting Whirr vibes from this. I dig it.

tfw Slowdive will be released on a national holiday and i'll probably not be able to hear it until the 6th :(

>>72220340
i think it didn't quite get the exposure it deserved in the shoegaze community, but it fell kinda flat with me overall. the individual tracks range from alright to great, but everything blends together after a while.

>>72220789
Yeah I'm getting some Whirr vibes from this too, pretty nice. Speaking of, does anyone know anymore Whirr-like bands/songs?

>>72220974
>i think it didn't quite get the exposure it deserved in the shoegaze community, but it fell kinda flat with me overall.
This is what I've felt when listening to most shoegaze albums for the first time, except Loveless, though it grew on me. Which shoegaze albums would you recommend if I enjoyed Loveless, m b v, was disappointed by Isn't Anything and Going Blank Again and still indifferent to Souvlaki?

>>72220640
not really a riff, but the chord porgression after the chorus on Change by Stella Luna always hits me hard

>>72221073
Check out LSD and the search for god.

>>72221118
It doesn't seem to be well received on RYM, but I'll listen either way. Any more recommendations?

>>72221167

>>72221073
if you want Loveless sounding albums, Despondent Transponder by Fleeting Joys, Stargazer by Stella Luna and In the Presence of Nothing by Lilys might please you. if you're indifferent to Isn't Anything and Souvlaki idk how much shoegaze you'll like tho, as most OG gaze sounds more like those than like Loveless.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

>>72221167
This bugs me to shit about rym, shoegaze is probably the worst offender. You'll have a band like Gene, who has a sound kind of reminiscent of Strangeways Here We Come, and all the reviews will talk about is whether they do or don't sound like the Smiths, and it stifles any real discussion.

The most baffling one I've seen is Idlewild and R.E.M. Any resemblence is such a tiny part of their sound but people can't shut up about it.

>>72218849
Just listen to Starik and Sinister Waters II, that's the only time when it's not dreamy and floaty,

>>72221118
I'm still trying to get into their second EP
Guess it won't happen. Pretty cool that they came back after 9 years though.

What's some instrumental shoegaze (or shoegaze with vocals so incredibly low in the mix that they're hopelessly unintelligible so it might as well be an instrumental)?

i think it only really makes sense to put unsigned artists who's work is only really available from bandcamp if you're going to make a bandcamp chart.
artists who have been working with labels for years also put stuff on bandcamp, you know?

>>72236902
>unsigned artists who's work is only really available from bandcamp
yeah this is more what I'm going for, I'm just not entirely sure which releases have been bandcamp exclusive or not

>>72236948
yeah, you're gonna need to remove Jay Som, Japanese Breakfast, and Wye Oak. Not sure about the other stuff, but you could probably check discogs or rateyourmusic or something to check the info for any release

Their early stuff is pretty close. The problem with Stereolab is that their sound is pretty hard to slap with a label. I don't think I'd call them /shugazi/ but then again I dunno what I'd call them.

kinda same with STGSTV. Technically it's noise pop but not really /shugazi/. Mercury Rev is also kinda borderline /shugazi/ but I think there's enough guitar feedback in their first two albums to warrant discussion on here.

Beach House made sure that dream pop stayed dead. They are enjoyable to listen to but completely sanitized and safe. Dream pop needs to rediscover it's gothic roots because the genre is much more interesting when it blends light and dark sounds.

New Slowdive is pretty dull.
Makes me sad.

Just completed a second listen (although I had to skip some tracks during the second round, something I rarely do). It is bad. I went in with an open mind after being disappointed by the singles. It is uninspired, the production is bland, Rachel sounds like a transgender. I'm let down. Going to try again in a couple of days.

try OKC or other online dating websites. I've never seen shoegaze listed on tinder bios but on OKC I've seen a few girls who listens to shugazi. You can always try to start convos with girls at shugazi concerts but it's going to take some serious balls. It's really rare that girls go there on their own, they usually bring friends or come with their bf.

First of all who the fuck gives a shit about going to a gig alone, I do it and I always see plenty of other people alone too, especially for a big band like Slowdive. Second it's not a big deal because they will probably play new material and it's trash so you wouldn't miss anything.

>>72261704
>slowdive or memejazz
what a difficult decision
roast your friends for their trash taste and go see slowdive by yourself

>>72261704
I'd prefer to see slowdive but I also don't really have friends who like most music I do so idk
>>72261762
From setlists I saw they do a decent bit of older stuff

>>72261897
Well if you see them before their new album comes out you should be safe, in that case you should definitely go because they still sound really good.

Was anyone at the liverpool gig

I kinda like the new slowdive

I don't know what the general shugazi opinion is, personally, i agree. I think Ride's new tracks were way better

tbf the general /shugazi/ opinion most likely is that both the slowdive and ride albums will be trashed for being "derivative" and some garbage bandcamp album will end up being everyone's favorite
>>72261282

Just started getting into shoegaze and have listened to maybe ~20 albums so far. Any other songs like Sweet Trip's DSCO? Probably one of my favorite songs so far.

I really like the first track, sounds like a nice modernisation of their old sound.
I don't think I'll ever be that keen on Star Roving - it's fun I guess but it just sounds really uninspired compared to their old stuff.
Don't Know Why has potential to be really lovely. Really surprised in the first few seconds, sounded a bit like pinkshinyultrablast. I can't understand the vocals here though, at all. People might say shoegaze isn't about the vocals but with Slowdive I feel like they were always important. I feel like a lot of detail is lost in the mixing here. First impression is that it's kind of a waste of a potentially amazing song.
Sugar for the Pill... fuck you I like it.
Everyone Knows is nice I guess. Kind of washed over me.
No Longer Making Time is a highlight for me, has that beautiful almost Souvlaki-tier wall of sound. Last 40 seconds seemed weirdly tacked on but whatever.
Go Get It was pretty cool. Dark sexy atmosphere. Kind of like Souvlaki Space Station.
Falling Ashes feels like an evolution of the Pygmalion sound. I really like it, great way to end the album.

As a whole, lot better than I expected. Doesn't quite stand up to their '90s work - Souvlaki's atmosphere in particular was perfect and this just doesn't feel as satisfiying. I think it'll grow on me.

I don't know I'm absolutely adoring I don't know and slowmo
that glimmering effect on Rachel's voice at the end is the most beautiful thing ever

Is Asobi Seksu's s/t considered Shoegaze? I'm fairly new to the genre, with my only listens being A Place to Bury Strangers - Exploding Head (which I blind bought from target.com when I was in middle school, thanks younger me), the big three, and assorted blackgaze like Violet Cold and Alcest.

Listening to Flying Saucer Attack cause I like space but wow this is really not what I was expecting. Neat stuff.

>>72263747
>People might say shoegaze isn't about the vocals but with Slowdive I feel like they were always important
You're very right here, Slowdive usually writes pretty good lyrics and it's partially what makes Souvlaki stand out among the other shoegaze albums. For the new one it seems like they bought into the whole "muh obscured vocals" meme, which wouldn't be a problem if the instrumentals made up for it. But Souvlaki is better in that department too.

>>72263094

god I've been listening to I Don't Know for the last 3 hours straight I haven't gotten this from a song in so long thank you based Slowdive

hey we're hitting bump limit this time right?

New Slowdive's alright. Nothing mindblowing but I don't think it'll tarnish their reputation any either. Slomo and Go Get It are probably my favorites.

I think i like it the most here. I'm surprised, because i've been listening to the live version a lot and was worried that the less obscured studio version will sound worse.
>Go Get It was pretty cool. Kind of like Souvlaki Space Station.
Exactly my thoughts, though i'm still kinda on the fence with my feelings for it. Might grow on me or i may start to dislike it.

>>72279035
I think it's a good addition to their discography. They've managed to craft something quite original and almost as graceful as their previous stuff.
Not as strong of a comeback as m b v, but i'm not disappointed at all.

Definitely feel it most on Don't Know Why and Everyone Knows. They're the two most Rachel heavy songs but you can't understand what she's saying. I guess Machine Gun and Sing were like that though and the only reason it doesn't bother me is because I've read the lyrics and listened to the songs a thousand times.
I'm liking the album more and more with each listen, Slomo is up there with the best of 90s Slowdive

As much as I like the Antlers I couldn't dig this. He went too far into the minimal realm, to the point where there's almost nothing there.
Their quieter songs only work if there's a lush atmosphere from some background sounds and good mixing.

>That chorus of Go Get It
Holy shit man. The clean guitars remind me almost of U2 in the best way possible. I wish they did more straight-up noisegaze stuff like that, it's beautiful.
A few of the middle tracks were a little bland, but I'm really liking it. Agree that Rachel's voice hasn't aged well, which is a shame, but Niel carries it very nicely almost all by himself.

I've only listened the album twice but I I feel like Go Get It is one of the best songs they've ever done.

>>72291735
I loved the album, although i can acknowledge that it isnt their best work. I feel that the people who hated it wanted souvlaki 2.0

>>72291989
I think the people who hated it wanted Pygmalion 2.0. It's much closer to Souvlaki, although still pretty original.

>>72291989
I feel like it drew from all parts of their career, there were a few safe tracks (maybe too safe)but ones like Sugar and Go get It were totally new for them, which I liked. Good balance of old and new.

just started listening to the new Slowdive album

>mfw the last minute of Slomo

You know, I'm liking Sugar For the Pill more every time I hear it. probably my second or third favorite on the album atm (after Everyone Knows and Go Get It), it's just a very nice song altogether.
These songs are going to slap live, I can't believe I'm saying it but I really want for them to play a good amount of new stuff when I see them.

>>72277814
I tried out their album Pinkshinyultrablast but I can't find a good place to buy it and I have to piecemeal it from youtube, sadly. Don't like downloading all that much if I can, especially if it's stuff I'd like to learn to play.

I've been listening to Flying Saucer Attack for the past 24 hours. I don't know what I see in it but it's addicting. I like the part where the guitars go vvvVVVVVVvVVVVvvvvvVVVvvvVVvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVVVVvvvvvv. Probably gonna treat myself to that reissue someone posted earlier in the thread.

I've also been struck by a kind of existential sadness that nobody who has been in space has listened to Flying Saucer Attack.

I haven't played guitar in quite some time but I have a Big Muff and an amp that has some great reverb on it. I feel very inspired listening to shoegaze.

any shoegaze band that incorporates middle east-like melodies?

>>72298038

>Probably gonna treat myself to that reissue someone posted earlier in the thread.

Huh, I ended up buying it last night. Funny, I actually don't frequent /shugazi/ but the last time I was here I bought that Blonder Tongue Audio Baton reissue. And now I'm kinda hype for the new Slowdive and goddamn it, this place would make me broke if I stayed too long.

>>72298497
I feel that way too but I just don't buy anything and just get sad about it.

I would also like to see some traditional inspired shoegaze. The best I can come up with is the last track on Seance which uses a tanpura drone as a replacement for guitar feedback (slightly related, but Sonic Youth does the opposite in their cover of Within You Without You).
