Shit, I'm getting mixed up with Auburn Lull. I don't actually remember if I had a Hammock album back then.

Re: Hammock, seek out the movie Columbus, which they scored.

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.

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.

I didn't know where else to post about the new No Joy album, Motherhood, which only sounds like shoegaze on occasion. It's wild!
― unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Saturday, 29 August 2020 17:55 (three years ago) link
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.

Please can I recommend Ian Sweet (not a solo guy, actually a solo woman / eponymous band), who only seems to have been mentioned twice ever on ILM and not at all in this thread. I was drawn to her music in by lush (lowercase L) guitar textures and unusual chord voicings that put me in mind of 90s Blonde Redhead or Sonic Youth. Last year I played her album Crush Crusher to death and she has a new song, Dumb Driver, which is pretty fricking nice. As with BR, she's an alumnus of Berklee and, fittingly, is the cover star on a Berklee shoegaze podcast on Spotify.

that's "Julie Byrne & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love's Refrain" btw
I was selling records and a guy described a band as “shoegaze” but 100% unironically pronounced it to rhyme with Fugazi.

Agreed! I love Julie Byrne's voice but I've never really been too excited about the music on her records before
