https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmn7yqUFT8this one's really romantic and pretty, reminds me of Airiel
>>128080613RIP D'Angelo, pancreatic cancer is a rough one >The Veldt - Afrodisiac (1994)probably the closest you'll ever get to his soul within the genre. Will always share this unique piece every chance I get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfw6KIFeGSc
>>128080668I dig Animal Ghosts quite a bit, definitely one of the better recentish bands to come out. I do see the Airiel similarities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKfW9b3nqvcI think pic related is still my favortie release by them
Is that youngblood?
>>128080656good stuff, thanks for the share. The song you posted was my favortie of the bunch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTUFXIHbW_Ealso this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylK1Lg7HWQcunderrated, never hear much about it
>>128080843Wow. I saw The Chameleons on Thursday night. Wasn't expecting an opening band but 3 black dudes and two white guys got up on stage and instantly blew me away with the most awesome shoegaze set I think I've ever heard live. Didn't know who they were and finally got their name;The Veldt.Got a new fan in me that's for sure. https://youtu.be/AEDwVb_Qcp0?si=alH2DT6W5CU4HFrK live on KEXP
>>128081155I was going to say that Catholic Easter Colours is beautiful. Overall a good autumn walk record

bump
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_pfY_cYUwDoes the gothy/emo alt rock sound mixed with shoegaze a lot better than I would have guessed
>>128081157opened for The Chameleons?! I'm incredibly jealous, that sounds amazing. Good to hear they both still got it in them.Love to hear they tour together and are potentially friends
https://youtu.be/foHopvPfBn0?si=fnqZPKSuur4NUJJ_just found these guys the other day
some tracks I picked out from the last few threads>clinic starshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC-9-WisUzE>luxurius bagshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iexHrLp_0dU>boz & girlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqigEJRPkH4>everybody asked about youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8u4PELeeEY
>>128083829last track is one of the most beautiful shoegaze songs i've ever heard and the album cover looks straight from 1994
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4MKj6kHCHoa favorite newer band, very energetic would love to see em live>>128083829i like the new album a lot too. and the guitarist has a solo album coming out which seems like it will be more like ambient shoegaze? loops maybe. not sure but will definitely listen>>128081155downloaded from the cover art alone this looks great thanks anon>>128083578woah very cool, reminds me of what bands like greet death and cloakroom are only doing now. also downloaded

Are you guy into modern Shoegaze?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD7tRv4A1FAWhat do you think of this song?anything like it?
does any other blackgaze come close? Audrey's vocals are just too good.
>>128084435I agree with that first comment, I literally heard it for the first three times from a buddy’s 14-16 yo kid’s tik rock. Not a bad song though
more modern shoegaze:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbwyCQo2xDc&list=RDhbwyCQo2xDc&start_radio=1
i don't even realize shugazi was up because i didn't recognize the op
>>128087011go on...
Just discovered this genre of music after listening to this nonstop for the past week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzVyvrtn76YAny recommendations similar to this? Much appreciated!

>>128080613ive been finding myself listening to this album a lot latelyhttps://kimonolights.bandcamp.com/album/trick-or-thrillergood stuff, it's more on the fast and harsh side, reminds me of Technicolor Teeth
>>128081126yeah
>>128080613can i get good recommendations that isn't just a worse slowdive and mbv
>>128087175taste is highly individualized, so no one's going to necessarily know what you personally would consider better or worse than slowdive or mbv. if you wanted to be helpful, you'd tell us bands you've already listened to.

>>128087197I enjoy slowdive and mbv, I feel like other shoegaze bands are a bit dull I need a recommendation to change my mind
>>128087506read the charts nigga
>>128080613
>>128087011is it the only modern (2010 onward) release that matters?
>>128087506HUM

>>128080613Frittering is one of the best songs ever madehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfLXD2M0NxU
this is like more experimental noise pop, but I love Xiu Xiuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywRzfwA75pY
>>128083602Still finding out about The Veldt. Love what I'm hearing. Annoys me that as much Shoegaze & Dreampop as I listen to it took me seeing them live to get exposed to their music. https://youtu.be/zYS-wEoosOI?si=PTg4XMQfO9yn0Rv-
Anybody here remember that one shoegaze song by a newer band called like Julia or something along those lines
>>128080613>Mogs loveless
>>128094175>Juliamaybe you mean 'Julie' ? not sure which song you're thinking of though. if you go to music.YouTube or Spotify you can see their most popular songs, maybe that'd work more quickly.
>>128094739Not the band, it was some one man shoegaze act that was posted here a couple years back
>>128094739>>128094175https://www.last.fm/music/Julie
>>128087089perfect shoegaze album, top of the pops, well studied and mired in the genre without being complete pastiche>>128088807yes to me it's the best shoegaze release in the modern era, there are some bands that are great like TAGABOW who are advancing the genre, but they haven't had that definitive release yet
Anyone here this yet? Was my first time giving these guys a listen and this blew me away, one of my favorite albums of the 2020's for sure.
>>128091233I mean maybe very vaguely. More like slightly dreamy indie folk
>>128094691So Slowdive weren't the first shoegaze act to dedicate a song to a certain Alison...
Still the best shoegaze album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5158QzU8Qk8
>>128089407Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I wasn’t really sure how to start navigating that chart since I haven’t had the time to go through the majority of those albums yet. So far I’m really into Burrrrn and Slowdive, and the MBV album is growing on me fast since I love that gritty/fuzzy(?) guitar tone. Really sucks that Loveless was removed from Spotify though.I’ve also checked out most of the singles (haven’t had time for the full albums yet, but I’ll get to them soon) in this thread and have really enjoyed listening to the majority of them so far. Thanks for the song recommendations as well--really liking both of them, but the dreamy atmosphere in Shirley Temple Tidal Wave (around 3ish min) is just absolutely mesmerizing and reminds me a lot of kiss a girl In black.Thanks so much!
>>128099106I respect your dedication to post this album every /shugazi/ thread
>>128099106Whirlpool is without question one of the best Japanese shoegaze tracks of all time
>>128080633what's your favorite post-exploding head album? They had a pretty noticeable drop off for me following that. The best one I thought was See Through You in 2022
>>128087118Beautiful track, thanks for the share.

>>128105542Try these out of the top of my head:>The Gun Club - "The Breaking Hands" (Robin Guthrie produced)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_rEtnhp3HM>Ashrae Fax - Dreamers Tied to Chairshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbvnxMU8ids>Tamaryn - Love Fadehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anOYvY2eFlI>The Sundays - Wild Horseshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7GE90n6XX8>Hatchie - This Enchanted & Lights Onhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znUX_oKlkYohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC8YnbTebjwAlso anything off of Spooky by Lush - produced by Robin Guthrie and they're on the same label. Other 90s contemporaries of theirs to try out: Ozean, Love Spirals Downwards, This Mortal Coil, Mazzy Star, Alison's Halo.A lot of similarities with The Cure's Disintegration too imo if you haven't listened to that before.
>>128106302Yes hello fellow Difference Engine sharer, keep up the good fighthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osSfzmpyEoIreminder to listen to the surprise archival 1994 tape that just randomly dropped. Gem of the 90s
>>128080613Nowhere was released 35 years ago yesterday, say something nice about it
