Readymade isn't exactly new. They were sending out annoying promo stuff 6/7 years ago.

The Meeting Places as well...reasonable enough rotegaze.
M83, now lemme tell ya, I guess I enjoyed the album the one time I heard it, but that was six months ago and I haven't felt any need to listen again.

Also Trespassers William, whose cover of Ride's "Vapour Trail" is gorgeous and a fair sign of how they sound in general.

Clairecords is the biggest shoegaze label out there at the moment, or for the past 5 years for that matter. They also run Tonevendor, the biggest mailorder for the related genres. Just look at some of the bands they've released.

That's just about everyone you need to know that's been doing good shoegaze type stuff over the past 5 years.

they have some samples here which i cannot understate how much they should be listened to.
― Kingfish Disraeli (Kingfish), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago) link
I really like Ulrich Schnauss. Electro IDM-ish shoegaze.
Highspire's currently my favorite out of the bunch. Their new cd is really great. I find myself humming some of their hooks a lot.
I find Bethany Curve and Voyager 1 a bit to inaccessible for my tastes. Good music to go to sleep to though.

I think shoegaze is a pretty boring concept nowadays (I went to this gig a few years ago where they gave out this compilation CD of lots of new shoegazer bands and they all sucked) but I did like the last Voyager One album "Monster Zero".

there’s a new Belong album coming out . the sample tracks seem a little odd but gotta say, not on my bingo card for the yearhttps://belong.bandcamp.com/album/realistic-ix

also admit that their second album continues to get regular plays 13 years later
1) always amazes when i see release dates like 3 mos away, and while it makes sense to me roughly understanding what is supposed to happen, it still seems soooo far away, it would stress the hell out of me if i were an artist.2) recommendation of stuff unknown to me from trusted source— another good day

my kid is way into all of this now. I think i said elsewhere that duster played one of the worst sets I've ever seen a band play probably 20 years ago. It's cool they have this revival; they're headlining the Warfield in SF! that's so weird. obviously I like all of these bands and even like some of the new ones. We saw Soft Blue Shimmer at a bar in SF last week and they were really good.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water put out a collection of previously unreleased tracks earlier this week and they've been kicking my ass. For my money they're the most interesting band making shoegaze/adjacent music right now--doing a whole lot more than just rehashing old sounds. They incorporate electronic music in really cool and sometimes subtle ways, have a bit of a glitch thing going, and work in some breakbeats here and there. Got to see them play in NYC back in March and though it was a very short set, it was most excellent. Had almost DnB-like tracks playing through a sequencer or something in between songs played by the band.
And what's the deal with Philly? Seems to be a pretty clear thruline from Alex G-->Blue Smiley-->TAGABOW. Don't know that I'll be able to find the interviews but I seem to remember the guy from Blue Smiley calling themselves an Alex G tribute band and then another interview with the guy from TAGABOW calling themselves a Blue Smiley tribute band. But each is much more than their influences.
So, anybody else keen on these guys?

I love TAGABOW. I didn't get into "s" quite as much as Dextiny XL, but I agree completely that they're doing more interesting stuff w/ shoegaze than most.
I am a major sucker for heavy distortion, warped sounds and tons o' fuzz.
You know Blue Smiley's main songwriter passed away several years ago now, yeah?

"what's the deal with Philly?"
best indie rock scene in America for a decade now, probably? i assume it's because everywhere nearby got too expensive and artists ended up there. (idk, i live 3,000 miles away.)

Mad not to make the album buyable.
