From that bandcamp list, i took italian band rev rev rev: des fluers.... album, and i adore the hell out of the core style happening there, dronegaze plus a hint of noize. Damn pacifier for me. The producer ~knows~ the mbv wobble so damned well, almost too well. I was not sure of durability under repeats, but its only got better for me.
Yep, listening to it now

Just listened to the new single from somesurprises, motorik+shoegaze is generally gonna work for me but this really sounds great.

Cant wait.... ive been listening to the surf-psych fusion of satan’s pilgrim’s _psychslpoitation_, def wanting more gaze/drone/motorik now.

Love the new somesurprises. H/T to Tyler for the pointer.
― that's not my post, Sunday, 30 September 2018 05:17 (six years ago) link
Somesurprises is really nice- Alt is the most motorik and drone.

They’re great live, not sure if they play much outside the Pacific Northwest. The guitarist/vocalist also has a day job as an immigrant-rights attorney.

Not really new actually but anything from the mid-90s onwards is new shoegaze to me.
Back when I used to frequent the shoegaze forum everybody loved Malory, July Skies, Fleeting Joys and Hammock. I recently saw some of that stuff in the second hand section of a music store.
The only one I listened to years ago was Hammock and it was really nice, but there's a ton of "really nice" shoegaze (it was far more on the ambient side though) and I just wondered if you guys thought any of these stood up well in the genre.
Only thing I picked up in that second hand section was a 2 disc Hammock album.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link
Hammock are truly wonderful; their last ten years in particular are just one triumph after another. Never quite seem to get the full cachet they deserve on a wider front.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
Shit, I'm getting mixed up with Auburn Lull. I don't actually remember if I had a Hammock album back then.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
the Malory album i've heard is very good
― omar little, Friday, 30 November 2018 20:38 (five years ago) link
Re: Hammock, seek out the movie Columbus, which they scored.
― Sanpaku, Saturday, 1 December 2018 12:52 (five years ago) link
I’ll look for that, i like them a lot, though i map them more as guitar postrock not shoegaze.I think the first i ever heard of them was maybe a link you did to a video of theirs, sanpaku.

Nice! How did you find out about them all?
― Evan, Thursday, 27 June 2019 19:59 (five years ago) link
Bandcamp music tags and a little research. Pinkshinyultrablast and Gnoomes I already knew about.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 June 2019 20:58 (five years ago) link
Thanks, Wooden Whales caught my interest most, probably due to the unusual for this genre vocals.
Even though this is one of my absolute favorite genres I often find myself listening to clips and feeling almost like someone who doesn't like the genre: most of it sounds so similar!
Really behind on this stuff, haven't listened to much of it in years, not even that Miniatures album I was excited about upthread.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 29 June 2019 12:33 (five years ago) link
Anyone keep up with labels that specialize in it? I recall Rocket Girl was quite a fan favorite on the old shoegaze forum.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 29 June 2019 12:36 (five years ago) link
I've been meaning to post this up, in fact, I was sure I already had but ctrl-f says otherwise, kinda epic indie/gaze from the UK. I like the big, upful sounding chorus.

ha i was gonna post that and forgot to do. yes, it's very good and enjoyable.

Miniatures - Jessamines is pretty good but the song that made me buy it ("What You Want") is definitely the best one.

All of Lorelle Meets The Obsolete's albums are $2 on Bandcamp until the end of the year. All are recommended but start from the recent ones (De Facto, Balance) and work backwards. (short history: LMTO are from Guadalajara, started off conventionally gazing at shoes for a couple albums and then made a lateral turn into something more interesting - think of Broadcast or even School of Seven Bells) https://obsoletelorelle.bandcamp.com

quite a poor name but I'm fond of these, who i saw as a support band a few years ago and have been to see 3 or 4 times since. lp is quieter and slower than their gigs and i think it'd be better if they'd not sequenced a couple of the similar-sounding tracks together like they have, but hey...
― koogs, Monday, 3 February 2020 18:57 (four years ago) link
oh, am specifically taking about the new LP, eulogies
Recent discovery for me, might have been mentioned on here before -- Draag. New single's quite nice.

There's a newish Stargazer Lilies and it's produced by Tobacco, which apparently means something to people (I only know the name).

I only said "what you want?"
"Don't ask why! I believe, in another way, nothing much to lose. I need no trust!"
Lose my breath? You never should. "Sugar, good for you! How do you do it?"
"Emptiness inside... No more sorry!"
I can see it (but I can't feel it) "All I need. You made me realize. Good for you."

There was a massive homophobe on the old shoegazing forum who loved Bill Clinton, wonder if that's him.

Oh, I have to check that out!
Came across this band today, from 2016, so new-ish. Really good set of influences, slowed down Swervedriver perhaps but with some of that Sci-Fi alt-rock thing, Hum, Lusk, Failure, and so on.
