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.

Hmm, like the cover.

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.

so yeah there's a ringo deathstarr album now and it's quite something

electricsound why is it that whenever I search any of my favorite obscure 90s bands one of your posts always pops up?

Ringo Deathstar sounds like a chiptune band name.
I should check these guys oot, that said.

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.
― Myers and the Obese Olympics triceratops climbing event (Pillbox), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 07:39 (thirteen years ago) link
heh heh gloop-gorp.

just got into swirlies again and don't think i'm leaving for another couple wks. holy fuck what an organized band.
― The previous message has been brought to you by (kelpolaris), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 17:00 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― skip, Thursday, 24 February 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I can never figure out what my favorite Swirlies release is.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Thursday, 24 February 2011 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link
There are new vinyl copies of "What To Do About Them" on amazon and new vinyl copies of "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days..." on ebay for really cheap.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Thursday, 24 February 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Blonder Tongue is the expensive rare one.
Anyway, I still highly recommend that She, Sir EP I was talking about here. Really great stuff. Not as crazy about the full length.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Thursday, 24 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
i have been enjoying the she sir EP a lot.
my fave swirlies is the slumberland 45. i think i might have expressed that i consider it among the top ten 45s of the 90s.
― racing up the fuck charts (electricsound), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Ah yes, but it all appears on "What To Do About Them," along with some other incredible songs.
