can someone show me a NEW shoegaze band

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.

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.

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.

I don't want to say damning with faint praise there but...

I tried, but my "wayyyyy" isn't effective enough ;_;

A noble effort!

I'm really liking the Foxtail Somersault ep released this year.
Band's site to give the ep a listen -- http://foxtailsomersault.com/media.html

the brother kite are really, really good

also club ac30 has been putting out nothing but fantastic records for a while now - the domino state 45, the wry ep and the hearts of black science stuff has all been tremendous

Alcest

the new Pluramon lp The Monstrous Surplus is great, and VERY shoegaze.

I still like that Rumskib album.

The last ac30 record I bought was the one with Highspire on it. After 1.5 bottles of wine and a lot of turkey the highspire track sounds great!

everything they've put out since has been better than everything they put out up to that point

I opened this thread to say Brother Kite. So.

Just stumbled upon Exit Calm's myspace. They're from the UK, shoegaze with soaring Bono vocals. I'm liking it a lot.

gospel gossip are from northfield, mn and do shoegaze alongside sort of shorter poppier echo and the bunnymen stuff...really good

i agree with jim, brother kite are really really good. it seems so preposterous to say 'brian wilson fronting a shoegazer band' but that is really what it sounds like. they aren't quite amazing, but the next one could be.

brother kite is very very good. id say more pop than shoegaze as presented on records tho.

are they slept on, or just not marketable, i wonders?

Good band, yes.

Anyway, another recent favorite: Autodrone

slept on, i think. if they'd been around in the early 90s and were on slumberland they would be massive

spc eco are quite good

i didn't realise the singer was dean garcia's daughter

khonnor will tickle you in a fenneszy fashion

the new pia fraus has been produced by norman blake. that seems odd. out in may. secret shine album out in april.

i was pretty down on secret shine after hearing that appalling "morris 1974-2005" record, but a couple of the recent singles have been ok. i hope they never do an acoustic record again.

my new thing: emogaze. you'll know what i mean in 2009.

Just the world didn't need.

the recent singles form secret shine have been very good. i thought. i never heard that morris record. there is also a new malory record out this year apparently though they have been on a steady decline since the fantastic debut.

i know what emogaze is already

i never heard that third malory lp. not worth the time? the first two are beautiful, tho i prefer the second

the third is more similar to the second than the first. they keep losing the fuzz. it's cleaner than the first two records, more pop but still kinda dreary.

uhhhh, emogaze actually exists?

APPLESEED CAST

surprised not to see more asobi seksu love. the latest stuff is so lovely. i understand now why they headline club ac30 all the time.

i don't know if anyone else has been keeping up with the club ac30 singles but the recent air formation one was very good, the televise remixes were nice if unremarkable, exit calm heading into anonymous shoegaze territories

brother kite are recording their new album now.

prolific

heard bits of the new secret shine, it sounds like their sarah album but with not quite as good vocals

tears run rings lp is fairly standard clairecords fare but i like it a lot

Cloudland Canyon are pretty gazey sometimes

A friend just recommended Sea Dweller as well as this blog in general:

I just got this self-described shoegaze band's album and will probably be seeing them live in a couple weeks:

http://www.myspace.com/kadman

between them, Thrushes (previously mentioned upthread) and Wye Oak there's a nice little shoegaze mini-boom in Baltimore these days.

Rescue Mission from Austin TX isn't half bad: http://www.myspace.com/rescuemissionmusic

most of their tunes have a sort of Ride/Swervedriver/Catherine Wheel sound going on, with bits of early Cure (see "Conversion" via the myspace link) once in a while. maybe not shoegaze-y enough in the production, more pop, but the influences are definitely there.

the guys opened for BIRD (aka Mark Burgess and Yves Altana) on their US tour last spring, even did a Chameleons cover ("View from a Hill") with Mark on vocals, pretty cool. they've got my full recommendation.

in fact, from the myspace bio:

Founded in early 2005, Rescue Mission was formed in the interest of creating an 80s British post-punk inspired pop group with a mixture of 90s shoegaze/wall of sound influences.

The High Violets adhere the shoegazing basics, but they've got a good spin on things to make it worth a listen. They're terrific live

Basinski-shoegaze: Belong. So gorgeous!

The Distant Relatives
^Badass album just came out.
Abby Go Go
^ from Tuscaloosa, AL. Broken up now, have a new band or something. Good.

new pia fraus and daysleepers albums up on emusic

downloading now...

Belong OTM, Colorloss Record is a beautiful EP

labelmates with the ace Anemones too

I saw a shoegaze band called Sennen a couple of years ago. Certainly as a live band they seemed appealing.
