yah the cloakroom record is very much a riyl: hum thing, though hum doesn't really shoot for loveliness and the cloakroom guys def have it in their sights in songs like "doubts"

So I aimed for the impossible here and created a 21st century shoegaze guide for Shfl

https://theshfl.com/guide/shoegaze-revival

20 choices overall, honestly the merest sampling. My big caveat is that the metal/gaze crossover I just had to separate out, far too big on its own. Some electrogaze standouts made the cut. Ultimately this is just a starter pack and should be recognized as such! But reviewing this thread was helpful for some reminders for sure.

I enjoyed this list and your write up. Good stuff.

Thanks!

Yeah great list. Some favorites and some I’d never heard before. Best discovery so far is Venera 4. Thanks for writing/sharing!

You're most welcome. Pretty sure I learned about Venera 4 from this very thread years back!

Nice work, Ned. I rep for Serena-Maneesh and Pinkshinyultrablast myself.

You should definitely get someone to pay you for a blackgaze piece. :)

If you caught that little aside near the end of the introduction, don't think I'm not thinking about it... (This work is a paying job, I should add.)

I had totally forgotten about Serena-Maneesh. Album holds up pretty well.

does Shfl pay, Ned? if ya don't mind me asking :)

Uh, yes? Sorry if I sound bemused, I did say that!

Ha, you're right. You did. I missed that. Sorry. You should be bemused!

I had totally forgotten about Serena-Maneesh. Album holds up pretty well.

It's great!

It's been a little quiet on this thread lately, so I figured it might be a good time to take a leap of faith and mention that the first single from my upcoming album is out now: https://angelcalm.bandcamp.com/releases (I promise this'll be the only time I self-promote on ILM.)

Posted about this one many years ago. I still consider it "new" because it's not from the 90s

Hadn’t heard that before. It’s really good, wow. Thanks for sharing.

Very welcome!

I've been digging what I've heard from Tan Cologne quite a bit.

Also known as TAGABOW. Recommended if you like the eclectic punk-spirited shoegaze of Swirlies, also hear some similarities with contemporaries Ovlov at times.

Moose plus others talk about the shoegaze scene (such as it was) from a 1992 issue of MM. Can't disagree too much with their peer summaries!

Lorelle Meets The Obsolete a couple weeks ago in Sacramento

Hard to tell if this band has been mentioned before, but some songs by Wednesday remind me of Lilys circa Brief History...

Sounds great

The new Tanukichan album is pretty good:

New Flyying Colours rips:

stoke is real

Giving this a relisten today and it's better the second time!

Can’t believe Bleach Lab hasn’t blown up yet. On the dreamier and janglier side of shoegaze, with some clear traces of the Smiths. Absolutely love them

New Flyying Colours is indeed Stoke City on this. I haven't been shown many NEW shoegazers that aren't afraid to go Swervedriver/riff-mongers and they're experts at it.

can someone show me a OLD shoegaze band that stopped being a shoegaze band for a long time but now they are back to being a NEW shoegaze band?

(excellent video imho)

Went to see You Said Strange (French, currently touring the west coast) knowing basically nothing about them, thought they were great live!

Hm! Keeping that in mind, though sadly it seems like they're skipping the Bay Area altogether?

https://motifs.bandcamp.com/album/remember-a-stranger

Singapore-based shoegaze/dream pop, pretty great

Digging the new one from Uniforms: https://uniformsband.bandcamp.com/album/trance (they're from Almería, Spain)

Twin Drugs from Richmond sounds great.

Anyone here rate the band Knifeplay? They were mentioned to me in this context (a modern MBV-influenced band), and they def sound up that alley...

hotline tnt album sounding like an instant classic to me

^It's so good!!!

I really must investigate this.

There are some really nice moments on this. I like the little break beat moment.

yeah i like it ok, what kept me interested was listening for the odder stuff tossed into the stew, like "huh strong keys line"

Yeah initially it felt a little same-y to me but there little moments that you start to notice after a bit.

Agree the Hotline TNT is excellent. Didn't know it but I needed this album rn.

I saw Margaritas Podridas (Sonora, MX) at a tiny local bar last week and their live show was really great... I wasn't as wowed by the few studio songs I'd heard.

Sidenote: A few days earlier I saw The Umbrellas (not shoegaze) perform as 1987-1988 MBV for an outdoor halloween show and that life-affirming.

"Spot Me 100" is my early favorite on the Hotline TNT. That middle section with the drum n bass breakbeat is killer.
