the latest Color Filter album "silent way" is completely wonderful. dreamy and blissful but in a far more subtle way than 99% of so-called 'shoegaze' releases..

sydney band Sounds Like Sunset's new album "Invisible" is like a heavier Joy Zipper / Autolux type thing and the songs are great. highly recommended, and not just because TB are supporting them when they come to melbie

Can someone please talk about Sennen (the UK band)? That is, if they're worth talking about.

Pacific UV is like a poorman's Spiritualized, but still not bad.

i love their album. i sometimes see the spiritualized connection, sometimes not. but it's really good anyway.

i can second color filter, i saw them play in Setagaya tokyo this time last year and they were fab, sort of strung between your '92 vintage pedal hoppers with a lush saint etienne-y , laptopy quality. sonic cathedral should get them over to play IMMEDIATELY.

god i wish i was in tokyo now.

All this Skywave love and no mention of A Place To Bury Strangers?

C'mon, people.

i know its been said before in other threads but the Radio Dept. album "lesser matters" is top notch.

and the newest Air Formation album on clairecords is also quite good.

and i guess its not exactly new, but the Mahogany single/ep collection on darla is excellent, better than their LP i'd say.

it's been a while since i've listened to the first mahogany album.. maybe i'll queue up the whole lot and have a mahogany listening orgy

Can't stop praising Experimental Aircraft. I'm stoked about their new fucking double album coming soon...

HOLLA!

Malory's new record is kinda good, in a way that they imitate Slowdive as good as possible

― Rizz (Rizz), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, when I heard Ladytron the first thing that popped into my head was "Catherine Wheel!" Of course, it's not shoegaze simpliciter, but there are a lot of shoes being gazed at there.

― Vornado, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I did not hear Catherine Wheel at all with the new (I assume you talking about Witching Hour) Ladytron.

For an awesome modern take on shoegaze, check out Serena Maneesh (http://www.serena-maneesh.com). I've also got a shoegaze retrospective I'm working through on my site, if you'd like to check that out: http://areyoufamiliar.blogspot.com/ (scan through the archives)

― Familiar, Tuesday, 29 November 2005 08:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i like serena maneesh but i wouldn't call them either shoegaze or awesome

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 08:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, if you discount the fact that they cop MBV to a tee, you're right.

Still waiting for the long-promised Experimental Aircraft album. They've been kind of erratic in the past, but their best stuff is about as good as anyone's. Supposedly it's due this year...

Flowers of Hell. Flowers of Hell. Oh god, yes, Flowers of Hell.

On Earworm to boot. OK, maybe more Dronerock than Nu-gaze but still. Yum!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

they're both far more dreamy rock than out-and-out shoegaze, but the new albums by both kubichek and apartment are really damn good.

― electricsound, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Ahhh, you mean "nugaze"....

The Vera Violets are really cool.

re Flowers of Hell - are all their tracks instrumetals as per their myspace page ?

― mark e, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 09:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, instrumental tracks. Actually, there's one that kind of has voices on it,but it's background harmonies and not "vocals" per se, more like just another instrument in the mix.

Rumskib from Odense, Denmark

References: The Cocteau Twins [Circa: Heaven & Las Vegas] and early Lush

Listen on myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/rumskib

Debut Rumskib album will be released on May 8th on Darla.

Could this be the Shoegazer album of 2007?

Jonas Munk (Manual) also performs on the album

Details:
http://www.darla.com/catalog/search.asp?id=12201

Darla is proud to release the debut record by Danish uber nu-gaze group Rumskib. Rumskib is the Odense, Denmark duo of Keith Canisius (Guitarist, Vocalist, Composer, Producer) and Tine Louise Kortermand (Singer). Keith produced the debut record with Jonas Munk (Manual), who programmed the beats, made the electronic sounds, and played synthesizer. Rumskib's debut record begins with a Simple Minds New Gold Dream style intro. A rough & repetitive MBV Loveless style guitar line kicks in. Next an aggressive baggy beat begins to pump making Rumskib sound nearly like Curve. Then a very lovely surprise: A very pretty, Lush style guitar change comes and simultaneously the wall of sound vocal harmonies begin -- like Emma, Miki... and Bjork! There's no denying Rumskib are derivative, however, Rumskib has such command of all the genre's key sound elements and their own pop songs are so damn good the band gloriously claim the new shoegaze sound as their own. Rumskib's sound is at once modern and classic, blending a strong love for early 90s shoegazer bands such as Chapterhouse and Lush with the sensibilities of grand Scandinavian 80s pop such as A-Ha and Roxette, all flavored with harsh noise-rock guitars and crunchy micro-programmed beats. Sometimes their sound is up-tempo, almost danceable like The Cardigans meet St. Etienne. At other times their sound is thick, heavy, and romantic recalling The Cocteau Twins or Simple Minds. Rumskib manage to be both surrealist and accessible; complex but straight forward. Vocalist Tine Louise creates harmonies so beautiful one would think they came from some mysterious wonderland (or Victorialand?) and Keith Canisius' lyrical call & response guitar playing is intelligent and evocative. Combine all this with well crafted compositions and Jonas Munk's trademark head-spinning, multi-layered sound sculptures, and you've got a work of undeniable beauty.

"Darla is proud to release"

Oddly enough every label sends out presses releases like this for every album.

I know you must see way more of em than I do, but this is a classic Darla one-sheet warm-up ephus pitch.

I hated the Nu-Coke, for whatever that's worth....
