Yeah, good job. What electric sound said... I would add even more distortion, and how about a melody?

Thanks, The supposed vocalist never showed up.....supposed to provide the melody part. Dude said like too upbeat.

For sure. But I created this thread so I figured to add to it.

The sample used by Engineers on Three Fact Fader is of Watussi by Harmonia.
You can all rest easy now.

new Malory single is gorgeous
also i am now really digging the depreciation guild album
― iTote 2.0 (electricsound), Friday, 22 January 2010 08:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Depreciation guild Is a lot of fun. Sorta Labrador records-ish. I downloaded the new Malory record maybe I should listen but they've been on a slow decline since the debut album.

When I read this I realized I have a copy of that Depreciation Guild album I haven't listened to. It sounds good (pretty- clear vinyl too).
― Evan, Saturday, 23 January 2010 02:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah this actually got me off my butt and listening to Harmonia and Cluster albums.

is the brother kite ever gonna release another lp?
― u b ilxin' (Hunt3r), Saturday, 23 January 2010 04:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I always wondered what shoegaze meant. So many bands fit in that genre or maybe not but they were labeled as such. Kind of like how I feel when I go on Emusic and see shit like Fort Lauterdale and MGMT listed as "punk"... I'm beginning to think genres no longer have any meaning other than what is perceived as cool and marketable. Kids grow up on something called "punk" and so they think they're punk because they were influenced by it, but in reality they are more appropriately labeled as neo psychedelia or something.

shit gaze.
― zoom, Saturday, 23 January 2010 13:18 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean stuff like Blank Dogs. is the new shoe gaze. i don't want "feel good" abstract electric guitar pop. i want damaged abject dirty lo-fi noise.
― zoom, Saturday, 23 January 2010 13:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Brother kite's album is done. Seems like they are trying to figure out how to release it. The samples were uninspiring.
― keythhtyek, Saturday, 23 January 2010 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i remembered your comment from months ago. i heard some of the early mixes. hope they figured out how to save it.
― u b ilxin' (Hunt3r), Saturday, 23 January 2010 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link
any thoughts on the Exit Calm album? i like the sounds a lot, but the guy's voice seems a little out of place. a little Vedderish at times.

― electricsound, Thursday, 3 June 2010 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm into the Ghost Society album, which is probably technically more dreampoppy than shoegazery.

Here's a pleasant, and potentially exhausting, trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up on this stuff/read the Melody Maker 90-93/attended lots of North London gigs.

I'm honestly not sure what to think about this:
it can arguably be said that the music scene in and around Camden Town, London during the late 1980's - early 1990's was one of the last scenes to emerge and grow in any kind of organic way. Back then you could sell 12,000 EPs and still be nobody- that kind of behavior would put you in the Top 10 these days

not so sure about this second serena maneesh record (and never got into the first one).
― akm, Thursday, 3 June 2010 14:46 (fourteen years ago) link
the first one was pretty weak imo - there's no 'drain cosmetics' on this record but i think it's better overall
― Help Im minger (electricsound), Thursday, 3 June 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
crash city saints album pretty good - quite a bit more lively than your usual MBV ripoffs.. there's bits of curve, raveonettes, early velocity girl etc in there. nothing even remotely original but a lovely listen

The more original the nu-shoegaze/dreampop band, the less interested I am. It's one of the only genres of rock I can think of that I don't want fucked around with and modernized in any way.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 20 September 2010 10:37 (fourteen years ago) link
That problem is, that approach is how you end up with bands like Air Formation.

I kinda agree with the sentiment- but it has happened and will always happen. See new synth-hop.

New High Violets record is pretty good. Working with Schnauss on that remix album seems to have helped.

Nother new Engineers album: this one has Ulrich Schnauss's paw prints all over it which could be good or really bad. I'm liking the single/prerelease track, but if its a whole album of that I might be a bit "umm..."
Prids latest album is closer to that dreampoppy Silversun Pickups style (boy/girl harmonies, buzzy guitar washes) than their earlier goth work fwiw.

Not a new band per se but Jefre Cantu-Ledesma of Tarental/the Root Strata label et al has a new album out on Type, Love is a Stream, which is v much shoegaze-inspired -- and which he confirmed just now on Facebook via a comment of mine was partially Lovesliescrushing-inspired, which is always a good sign. You can hear it via Type:

It really has some beautiful tunes on there. Interested in hearing the newer album. Someone let me know if they also think this is great.
