Also, from the "Imaginary Tribute Bands" thread, I firmly think someone should capitalize on my idea and form an angular post-hardcore band that plays dream-pop covers and call themselves SHUGAZI. I'd fuckin' go see that in a nanosecond.

Oops. I didn't realize they had started redirecting. Not too long ago there was a separate site for Clairecords.

they did away with the old site cause new blood took over the tech duties and did tonevender all nice and cool. (* cries! i was their tech guy but life changes and all.)
i'm not sure i'd really call them revival. clairecords has been putting out shoegaze influenced records since the early 90's.
much of their music has totally different attachments besides the earliest goods.
very, very nice guys. buy stuff from them. rare is the distro that sends you candy with your goods!

Is it a different mix from the album? I mean, I would actually say they're slightly better live than on album (well, apart from them not doing the harmonies live, but we've had a word about that, and they promise they'll try) but still, the album is bloody good.

There's a lot of The Church in here as well as the obvious Shoegaze/Krautrock references. This is why I keep thinking you'd like it.
"Simple Solution" wouldn't be out of place on The Blurred Crusade or Remote Luxury.

serious question--does the revival ever end? What's it like in the UK?
Seems like there's a lot more shoegazer/dreampop floating to the surface this year.

Shoegaze "was one of the wimpiest genres" of the 1990s. As opposed to "gangsta rap", I suppose.

sometimes it seems like a lot of the black metal stuff is really just renamed shoegazerz
― Multiple Miggs (dandydonweiner), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 03:07 (eleven years ago) link
No joke, I pretty much got into black metal via the stuff where the guitars sounded shoegaze-y to me.

I really dig the new album (never heard the previous one TBH) from The History Of Apple Pie.This is the first video/single from the album and it's also my favorite song, though I like the whole disc:

I wasn't sure what 2014 rolling thread to put this in and I didn't think the band was popular enough to devotre a new thread to so here it is! Hopefully someone likes it...

it's a nice little record - oddly the two singles they preceded it with seem to be the two most out-of-place things on it
― outback bumfuc (electricsound), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:38 (ten years ago) link
mentioned elsewhere but the two most recent album releases on shelflife - hobbes fanclub and luxembourg signal - both have sweetly shoegazey elements in amongst the jangle
