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.

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.

That Sennen song is pretty huge, too.

Glad you like it, the whole Les Discrets album's pretty amazing.

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

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.

used to be much more black metal, now almost exclusively shoegazey.

Italy's Be Forest is an interesting proposition. They won't persuade non-gazers, but they're a lot better than the also-rans of the 2nd and 3rd generation.
From Be Forest's 2011 album Cold:FlorenceDust
From their current "Hanged Man" single:Hanged ManI.O.
Some videos:FlorenceHanged Man

Anybody know the deal with this band "Now, Now" that's featured on Spotify today? Girl vocal shoegazey 90's vibe, don't quite get why Spotify would pick it out, though it's good. Not many views of their videos...

New Frankie Rose album, Interstellar, is pretty much shoegaze.

Whenever I see any band featured on Spodify, I figure someone's record company has paid to put it there. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Hmmm, a little research reveals that Now, Now is in many ways Tegan & Sara gone shoegaze, which is a great thing to me, but probably a scary thought for most of ILM.

I think I've posted about Ghost Society before (maybe in this thread?). Anyway, I just came across this live-in-studio performance from 2012 which is kind of jawdropping. The precision with which Sara Savery does the Liz Fraser-ish vocal bit in the post-chorus is great.
