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.
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.

Estonia seems to keep putting out a new clutch of good 'gaze types -- thus these folks:

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.

Ooh I agree thats quite pretty stuff. I like that theyre singing in Estonian too, it adds to that Liz Fraserish obscurity :)

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:

melbourne's three month sunset (who recently changed their name to lowtide, though i don't think they've released anything under the new name yet) put out this lovely (but very heavily in debt to slowdive) EP last year.. it's good

Holy shit. I just found this release:

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.

had a listen to their EP on emusic, sounds nice
― karajan camping (electricsound), Thursday, 13 January 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, its a really solid EP. It is always much more fun when you find something you know nothing about, and it turns out to be super good.

Three Month Sunset really hit the Slowdive thing on the head, but the songs sound great! I need to hear the full versions now...
Also, Slowdive - Lowtide?

mentioned it on the indie thread but the new Ringo Deathstarr single 'so high' is ripped straight from Ecstasy & Wine, except perkier. and is all the better for it.

Ringo Deathstar sounds like a chiptune band name.

been listening to the new Cut Copy tonight & track #7: 'this is all we've got' is some premium 'gaze.
― Myers and the Obese Olympics triceratops climbing event (Pillbox), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 07:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Cut Copy are gazey now? ... I thought they were more a presets-ish band, I have never given them much of a listen tbh
― Trayce, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 07:34 (thirteen years ago) link
since the beginning, certain strains of CC have been pretty obviously shoegaze-influenced, but the track I mentioned sounds straight-up like an early Moose song. Most of the other tracks on the album are more blip-bleep, gloop-gorp than that.

That "So High" lick has been in my head for days now. no problem IMO with aping another band's sound as long as the songwriting is solid.
