the latest auburn lull album is not nearly as good as cast from the platform..
Is Monster Movie still a band? There are a handful of tracks of theirs I still come back to and get obsessed with every couple of months.

They were still recording as of March, but no news since.

Those last couple Sunset records were okay. After I was done listening to them I couldn't remember a note.

Blackstrap are really good. Not pure shoegaze, but there's definitely a heavy influence:

ok to be fair it's pretty good,there's just no big pop hit like 'season of false starts'

autodrone are pretty good, remind me of scarling a bit, hope sandoval-esque singer

aspen woods are more psychy than gazey but are v good
also been diggin the voices, and headquarters. again a bit more psych than gaze but reverby enough to fit in

digging this new Asobi Seksu album that Polyvinyl sent me. reminds me of Sugar Plant at times, which is a good thing. older Sugar Plant. not later ultra-dreamy/trance Sugar Plant. other songs actually sound like Kitchens of Distinction + female vocs. which is also a good thing.

saw them live the other night (w/ Thrushes, the Baltimore shoegaze band I mentioned upthread), almost fell asleep but that had more to do with me feeling terrible and exhausted than them, although they didn't help. new album is definitely less listenable than Citrus.
― a pissed-off yuppie wandering around L.A. trying it (some dude), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 20:11 (fifteen years ago) link
i've never heard citrus. or anything else by them. i really like this album though, so, i guess i'd really really like citrus. i mean, it's nothing "new", you know, but it's pleasant and i like the pretty noises.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 31 March 2009 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, pretty noises never go out of style

Looking forward to the new A Sunny Day in Glasgow album.

Trying to remember who I heard the other day that actually stood out amid the usual hoohah. I should take more notes.

That might already be the Helio Sequence (who I like but anyway).
(Alternately, maybe Coldplay is long already the washed-out and tamped down version of this.)
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 April 2009 18:40 (fifteen years ago) link
The Helio Sequence to me sounds like Modest Mouse gone alt-shoegaze. Not a good thing.

the new songs on the brother kite website are dismal. fountains of wayne-ish power pop, yikes.

Vanessa Van Basten. The band. Italian. Endlessly better than the first and second wave of twiddlers.
― i, grey, Monday, 11 May 2009 01:31 (fifteen years ago) link
wow. Vanessa Van Basten. thanks for the suggestion. But too bad there's no hot frontwoman named Vanessa.

also the suki ewers album is probably more slowcore than shoegaze (kramer prod, heavily in debt to galaxie/mazzy star) but i'm sure youse guys would diggit

New Engineers album that just came out is pretty fuckin decent.

Is it out yet? is it as good as rumoured?
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 22 June 2009 12:26 (fifteen years ago) link
6 July apparently. I actually visited their Myspazz about 2 months ago and the new stuff seemed good.
― gosh I actually dig this shit (country matters), Monday, 22 June 2009 12:27 (fifteen years ago) link
...but I didn't know the album was due this soon!

Disappointed in the new album cover, tbh, but really glad they have a new one coming out. Also glad to see some ilm love for these guys!

Sorry to be slow in replying but yes Engineers album's out and its pretty awerome -synths and proggy and shoegazey goodness.
― lolsbury hill (Trayce), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
gotta pick that up. the lea shores album that just came out is super lovely too
― c.c. crabcock (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i probably mentioned it on the rolling indie thread but the SPC ECO album is really really lovely.
was disappointed by the 2nd fleeting joys record. songs maybe a little less weak than the first but they seemed to have ditched trying to sound like mbv for sounding like lenola instead

beyond that things seem to be pretty quiet in shoegaze land, at least as far as i'm aware

i like SPC ECO, but arent they really a 1 by 1 copy-paste band of 90's shoegaze?they do it good - yes, but totally nothing that you havent heard before.
― Zeno, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 05:50 (fourteen years ago) link
you're on a thread about a genre that's been endlessly retreading itself for nearly 20 years
i don't know if that's an especially compelling criticism

good point, though still - there are some acts who succeeded in performing the genre with a new ,interesting angle.
