Sup /shugazi/ friends
Hopefully this thread won't die like the last couple have
Very nice slowcore/dreampop from Spain, now sure why I've never seen this posted anywhere. Album also has a couple of noisier tracks.

>>72385531
This was nice, they have a really unique sound. It would be spooky and ghostly if her voice wasn't so nice and calming. Sounds like sweet dream pop coming from the spirit realm or something

Listening to the album OP posted, it's not bad a bit amateurish in terms of production, I like the voice a lot and there's some interesting stuff. It's not the best thing I've ever heard by far

>>72387630
i kind of thought of it like cocteau twins but much less expressive

What makes it amateur though?

where's the best album for each year chart?

>>72386975
Guitar playing is pretty cool,very nice slow core vibe. the vocals however are the blandest thing I've ever heard. But there's a very fine line between vocals that are purposefully aloof, so I don't blame you for liking it ;)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DDA4lG1LE0

p good noise pop

>>72386975
yeah, not feeling the vocals

>>72386890

Wye Oak are good, lads, I swear.

Are opiates the best drug to be on while listening to shoegaze/dream pop? I believe so.

keep in mind that right now it's really more of a list of assorted 2017 stuff more than it is a properly curated chart of the best shit so far

>>72392160
I never fucked with opiates but back when I did dude weed I used to love nothing more than getting fried and listening to super-dense sludgy stuff
Speaking of which, I listened to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHf7TimSfrM&t=1327s
for the first time in forever and I forgot how amazing it was. That thing where that have a sludgy shoegaze part going then tremolo guitar lines rise out of the noise is amazing

>>72392460

If you ever have some kind of medical situation where you get prescribed some painkillers just listen to some dense shoegaze and space the fuck out. Nodding to walls of fuzz is the best feeling.

Shoegaze for this feel?
>>72393391
Star Roving was one of the weaker songs, no idea why they chose it as the lead single.
Sugar has really grown on me, it's up there with Everyone Knows and Go Get It in terms of quality.
>>72393535
Magic Night is still my favorite (what an album) but I agree, I'm interested to see what becomes of him as he continues to catch on. That kind of music has a lot of crossover potential for the "I don't like harsh vocals bloo bloo bloo" types

>>72392160
I heard Trigger Finger on the local college radio station and really liked it but their other stuff on that album is just too "indie" for my taste, I don't know.
Are their previous albums dreamier?
>>72392828
Seeing them the 11th in Atlanta, this is the most excited I've been for a show since Godspeed last came, since I didn't go to Shaky Knees last year which was the only other time they've been in this region. I can't believe I'm saying it but I really hope they play some new songs live.

No, if anything their one dedicated shill in these threads needs to cool off because they're really nothing special at all

Anyone get the Blind Mr. Jones repress or new Veldt single on RSD?

does anyone have that 2010s shugazi chart with Teen Dream and Gemini on it?

Anyone seeing Slowdive live soon?
I'm seeing them on the 11th

Anyone know if theres a shugazi cover of soak up the sun? I think I remember it existing but that might have been a fever dream

Salvia Palth is bland though.

>>72398220
It's a top loaded album, but not in the normal sense of the phrase. The songs 1-6 are 9s and 10s. The rest are 8s and 7s. As a whole, the album is still amazing.

After having listened to the "holy trinity" of shoegaze, I can't escape the feeling that Kevin Shields and Loveless killed the genre. From A.R.Kane, Swirlies, which I liked very much and many obscure bands, it seems to me that nothing comes close to the cohesion and iconic songs Kevin Shields has made. I would very much like to be proven wrong and be amazed by some other albums.

>>72402428
You're right. The only thing that comes close is IMO Sweet Trip - Velocity : Design : Comfort.
Ceres and Calypso is somewhere behind but still above the rest.

I like this and Turnaround. I also listen to some God is an Astronaut and Oh Hiroshima. Can I get a rec or am I just a pleb?

>>72402428
desu M B V is better than Loveless.
Loveless feels like a product, neat, tightly packaged and polished, but surprisingly thin/shallow.

M B V on the other hand sounds much more adventurous and progressive. It might not be as innovative and influential as Loveless, but it's a fresh take on the genre and much more interesting to listen to in 2017 than their debut.

>>72392285
gracias

>>72402475
From a production standpoint, Loveless got even more polished when the remastered versions were released. And it only serves well such an album, which features a wall of sound production with absurd amount of layers of tracks. I liked m b v, mainly for the mood it forces let he listener, though there aren't iconic songs.

>>72402509
I guess i should give the originals a go, cause i get this plastic feeling from listening to Loveless.

And I definitely agree that Loveless sounds more "classic", but classic can be safe and boring, while m b v is new and exciting. Hard to judge at this point, I'll come back to you in 15 years

>>72402526
Don't get me wrong, m b v certainly feels fresh and trance-like, just as they intended their music to sound, but there is no Only Shallow, I Only Said, To Here Knows When. Having learned to play I Only Said on guitar and it being my favorite track when I first listened to Loveless, may have something to do with my praise for it from a purely subjective perspective.

>>72402509
Forces on the listener*

>>72385531
really, really nice album. doze off to it a fair bit.

>>72402578
The melodic hook of I Only Said is actually my least favorite part of the album and I always skip the end.

That's actually one of the reasons I dislike loveless - many sections get repeated numerous times without any variety and in the case of I Only Said it becomes super annoying.

Loomer and To Here Knows When are definitely the highlights of the album for me, but Who Sees You, If I Am and Wonder 2 are just as good in my opinion.


Also, fuck MBV title tracks, I can never tell one from another and I always have to look their names up.

Hoping to. Depends if I'm ready for my final the next day lol

I wasn't crazy about Falling Ashes at first but it's really grown on me and I think it's a perfect closer. Neil's retard mumbling really shines, and the slightly out of phase loops and samples give a spooky note to the sweet music.

>>72404725
I commend how different it was but I wasn't crazy about it except for a few songs. The trip-hop song was really good and I was kind of disappointed they didn't explore that style more. There was a little of everything but it didn't feel especially cohesive as an album.

I'd suggest giving them some more time to click, but if you're so urgent, then just follow the flowchart.
>Also, what are some underated gems?
I guess it varies from person to person. /shugazi/ covers a lot of stuff. You'll find your own gem if you dig in deep enough.
Or just look at some other charts in this thread and pick something that looks good.

is Yo La Tengo dream pop? I don't hear it.
Maybe I just don't know indie pop
I thought they were just alt rock

I've listened to nothing but Alcest and Slowdive for the last week, someone give me something to break the streak
>>72409346
I'd say they're definitely more of a straightforward indie rock band at the core who takes influence from dream pop and noise pop at least on their later 90s albums
Not really opposed to them getting exposure in these threads so I don't mind

>>72409403
I see. That makes sense. Thank you!

>>72408552
Heavy Rocks (both) are similar sludge rock, Absolutego and the one with the Nick Drake cover are similar but have more variety.

Their best album is Flood, which is drone and psychedelic post-rock. If you like that, Feedbacker is the same thing but a little louder.

What's good for more emo/melancholic shugaze? Need some downer music and I was hoping for some noise walls and intensity, but not quite the black metal vocal style and aesthetic.

>>72410135
If u havent already, check out distressor and pipe dreams by Whirr, and Deafcult by Deafcult

Should I go see Slowdive in a few months? Watched some of their recent shows on youtube and they don't sound very good. Is it worth it?

Nah. They make pretty awesome indie folk pop with a lot of noise and shoegaze influences with hints of classic rock thrown in for good measure. Wye Oak has quietly and subtly made it into heavy rotation at my house for awhile now.

when did shoegaze become good? I do not understand what triggered this shift in me
