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)

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.

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

i just discovered last night that they are still around. they were great!

Seconded on the Jesu tip.

I still need to get the Serena Maneesh album, as well.

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.

I like them. There are others. Try them first.

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.

Tearwave - who are signed to the Projekt label. Similar to Mira.

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"

Must they really begin every one-sheet with this?!

― Saxby D. Elder, Thursday, 15 March 2007 00:50 (seventeen years ago) link

darla still exists?

ps: i fucking hate nu-gaze... but i love the nu-grape twins. go figure!

"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....

― Saxby D. Elder, Thursday, 15 March 2007 04:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Still really feeling that Pluramon Dreams Top Rock. Often overlooked, but it's great! Lush meets Slowdive with electronics. Very nice.

Their other albums suck. :]

[i]darla still exists?[/i[

(made me laugh) and YES in their bank account, they DO exist.

― Saxby D. Elder, Thursday, 15 March 2007 05:05 (seventeen years ago) link

darla released the best album of last year. more than makes up for all the shit they've put out over the years.

― electricsound, Thursday, 15 March 2007 07:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Rumskib has a new friend :)

I need some school on Darla releases it seems! Jim??

― dice in my pockets, Friday, 16 March 2007 08:12 (seventeen years ago) link

apologies, i lost myself there for a moment. now i am a bit more composed.

don't get me wrong - darla has released a lot of crap, but there are some stellar gems in there too. most of it isn't really shoegaze though.

mahogany's 'connectivity' album is tremendous and should totally be searched. now it's coming out in britain it might actually get some attention from a sympathetic audience.

other great darla recs include:

the other two mahogany records (dream of a modern day, memory column)
auburn lull (produced by mahogany dude, sounds lovely even if the songs are a little thin at times)
saloon (post-stereolabby poppy thing, first album better than the second)
manual's azure vista (stunning)
photon band (psych)
the first two my morning jacket albums
a handful of the blissout EPs are really nice

So here's a new one from me -- the Voices, from Wales. Am reviewing this for Plan B and holy heck, how come I haven't heard these characters before? Nothing new but they put it together perfectly.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

we did some shows with these guys, super-shoegaze. some connection to Stratford 4 I think

heard the aforementioned Sunkissed LP by Guitar a month ago and was reminded of it's Loveless-ishness... and not in a phony way, I mean straight up Loveless-esque textures.

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

that came out lame. i meant that you hear so many incorrect/unfair comparisons of new bands to Loveless that it's like a kiss of death almost. but in this case, it's pretty spot-on IMHO LMBO.

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Airiel's new album is pretty damn good, esp. "You Kids Should Know Better," which sounds like a Slowdive/BRMC mashup, only wayyyyy better than BRMC.
