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

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

been listening to the new Cut Copy tonight & track #7: 'this is all we've got' is some premium 'gaze.

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.

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.

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.

I've been getting into some shoegazey metal, like Les Discretshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sa2HZqvT5c

Glad Sennen were at least mentioned. I don't think they sound like Teenage Fanclub.

Sometimes the "metalness" of the band's sound provide a hint of cheesiness, but I really like song. Thats awesome, chap.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Friday, 25 February 2011 16:13 (thirteen years ago) link
That Sennen song is pretty huge, too.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Friday, 25 February 2011 16:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Glad you like it, the whole Les Discrets album's pretty amazing.

It's one dude doing everything but the drumming, by the way.

Very cool, I'm going to check out the album.

cosign on Les Discrets
not really feeling the Ringo Deathstarr tunes I've heard -- like, I get it guys, you like MBV a whole fucking lot and can sing like Jim Reid blah blah etc etc. -- do you have ANY original ideas?
has anyone mentioned the Belong album on Kranky? that one's great, bit of a dream pop + drone hybrid w/ bits of 'gaze buried under a MASSIVE cloud of reverb & echo... like hearing an ultrasound of a shoegaze baby in the womb

hmm i'm not sure you 'get' shoegaze? like that's the genre in a nutshell iirc
― australian rules football quarterback (electricsound), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 21:58 (thirteen years ago) link
nah i "get" it, would just prefer any sort of subtle twist on the formula, anything!
― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:10 (thirteen years ago) link
otherwise may as well just listen to MBV, yknow?
nah, i heard that one already

Glifted is easily one of the most innovative nu-shoegaze bands I can think of. A lot more loop heavy and trancey shoegaze.
