Crisis Arm (weird name) sound really good. It's really difficult for a new shoegaze band that sounds so much like the old ones to stand out, there's just loads that do it good/competent so that a lot of them end up seeming redundant even though they are pretty accomplished.
Pyramids sounds great too. I thought that maybe the singer was Matthew Kelly from The Autumns for a few minutes but it isn't.
Didn't realise The Autumns had broken up, I really love their stuff, especially the first two albums. I suppose I still need a few EPs.

Damn, a few of those Autumns EPs are impossible to find. Maybe on youtube though.

ive listened to a ton of venera 4 at this point. you can't get more 1990 than this imo:

i do however keep hearing moment 3:47 of _this_ song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdmNC8ylrXI
which at least is the best one second of that song.

New She's So Rad album Tango is a pretty interesting shoegaze meets electro/boogie record; shades of Chapterhouse's Blood Music or some of the lost gen stuff.

Just this past month I've been really getting into some shoegaze (Venera 4) and shoegaze-adjacent (Marriages, Novella) bands.
― DJP, Friday, 15 May 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link
I like that Marriages album. I never remember to listen to it, though.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 15 May 2015 17:56 (nine years ago) link
Marriages album is really good but it's not quite as good as Emma Ruth Rundle's solo album from last year. Her voice doesn't ever remind me of Dolores O'Riordan on that, for one.

This is the singer from (ugh) Perfect Pussy:

I like it. Kind of reminds me of the first Third Eye Foundation album. The blastbeat is... odd.

Hmmm maybe

No Joy's new album More Faithful is excellent.
― kornrulez6969, Saturday, 4 July 2015 17:31 (nine years ago) link
Their 2014 self-titled album is pretty solid. They remind me of a bunch of US bands that were influenced by shoegaze in the mid 90s. Like this could have been on Spin Art or the like.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwqHxWUGpdc

Did Ned ever listen to Venera 4 like he said he was going to?

Would also recommend to Ned the out-of-nowhere SPs guitar solo on She's So Rad's Cool It.

whirr just got dropped by their label(s?) because of a flurry of transphobic tweets, which they subsequently chalked up to a "friend" who had access to their account.

Does anyone know what's up with the laurels? are they still a band that's recording music? i was pulling data from an old hard drive and recently rediscovered a couple of myspace (lol) rips i had saved from around 05-06. glass flowers isn't necessarily shoegaze but is a pretty, unfinished song. it seems a shame that it's not on any kind of proper release. also the version of 'what she does to me' with female lead vocals is superior to the version that ended up on their ep.
anyway, the laurels.

Which Laurels?
The Australian one (at https://thelaurels.bandcamp.com ) released a new track late last year. Hopefully they'll record soon - liked seeing them at Levitation a couple years ago.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 04:02 (eight years ago) link
the Australian one was the one i was referring to. did not know about the new track they released last year so thanks for that. i would definitely like to hear a new record from them!

A friend who saw them at levitation just lent me Mesozoic after I asked cause of this thread, I really really like so far.

They spend the rest of that album doing pleasingly garagey simulacra of various mid-late 80s indie/psych styles btw, in case that's your thing.
― Noel Emits, Thursday, 29 September 2016 10:33 (eight years ago) link
That Lorelle Meets the Obsolete stuff has been great for me. Youtube followed up that awesome Sealed Scene with "Medicine to Cure Medicine Sickness," which I also think is cool. Nice mix of psyche and squall.
