Jesu - Conqueror is very shoegaze-y and a great album.

[dei]

Yeah, I've heard all of these albums, some that need to be revisited. Hoping someone can throw something new out there. But thanks everyone that's listed something so far.

Oh, Beach House. I'll give them a listen.

I really don't like to back you up, but this made me laugh a little.

All you need is Spacemen 3, Galaxie 500 and if yr feeling naughty, a little Straitjacket Fits.

[Anxious]

Chapterhouse-Whirlpool

[YourBiggestFan]

anyone heard of Secret Shine? No? Check'em out. Not really innovative, but a fun listen.

Twilight Sad also have shoegazer elements. . . ya kno, if thats your thing.

OH! also theres this band called Spotlight Kid that I've been digging a bit these past days. Its new shoegazer. http://www.spotlightkid.info/music.php . I was tempted to write Nu-gaze, but was afraid of public/personal backlash.

[dei]

Nu-gaze. :\

Twilight Sad is my most played artist on Last.fm.

Secret Shine...

[dei]

Chapterhouse-Whirlpool

You don't live in LA!

[Anxious]

I just got back from Universal Studios.


EDIT:Yeah my location is a reference to Blade Runner as well as my avatar.

[margin0walker]

thats such a good book

[dei]

Don't I feel silly.

[Anxious]

No dude the movie.

The book probably has shitty special effects

[Bukowski]

Fleeting Joys - Despondant Transponder (biggest rip-off of Loveless ever, but it's good)
Lovesliescrushing - Xuvetyn (HEAVY on guitar effects, very gloomy and layered)
Bailter Space - Vortura


Also listen to Nadja, Jesu, The Goslings for the whole "doomgaze" thing - which means, LOUD GUITARS. And don't we all want that?

[dei]

I hate guitars.

[sexymuffin]

so i've never really gotten a concise definition of the genre of shoegaze.

anyone care to lay it out for me in layman's terms? or is it one of those genres that you just have to hear to understand? Like i've listened to MBV and a couple other "shoegaze" groups and i'm not a big fan but i don't really get the genre.

[Krash100]

Basically shoegaze is when the guitarists use so much effects and overdubs that it creates a huge wall of sound to the point where you can barely pick out which intruments are which. MBV being the best example of this.

Another good pick for shoegaze would be The Verve A Storm in Heaven or Verve EP

[Eliminator]

yep that's exactly it

[Boilermaker]

The Verve make some weird noises mang.

[perriwinkle]

genres are stoooopid

[EightMilesHigh]

i second whoever recommended galaxie 500

[CameoRole]

For what wasn't mentioned here:

Catherine Wheel- Ferment
Spacemen 3- anything
Spectrum- Soul Kiss/Glide Divine
Spiritualized- Lazer Guided Melodies
Growing have that whole I'm on drugs and droning my guitars sound.
The Ecstasy of St. Theresa are good as well.

[Boilermaker]

Galaxie 500 are pretty over-rated. Too whiney to me. They don't even sound all that dreamy/shoegazey to me :/

[EightMilesHigh]

No dude the movie.

The book probably has shitty special effects

i want to read the book seeing as i watch too many movies

[Embryo]

Flying Saucer Attack
Astrobrite (**a must)
Teenage Filmstars
A Place To Bury Strangers
Skywave (a lot like JAMC)

oh ... and Seefeel are interesting.

[dei]

I am trying to find Seefeel on Soulseek, but no luck so far. :(

[Anxious]

Flying Saucer Attack
Astrobrite (**a must)
Teenage Filmstars
A Place To Bury Strangers
Skywave (a lot like JAMC)
Awesome ****, I have a huge Flying Saucer Attack poster in my room and all of their stuff except for one obscure cassette ep I'll never find. I love them. I'll have to check out Skywave. Astrobrite rule also. If you haven't already check out Crescent.

I have a Seefeel album, it kind of sucks.

[Neglect]

Spacemen 3 for more psychedelic shoegaze

[Bukowski]

Hell yeah, Spacemen 3 are so good.

I've been listening to Swervedriver - Ejector Seat Reservation a lot recently. This band get lumped in with the shoegazer scene a lot, but it's not really like anything I'd call shoegaze. Maybe they were more noisy before this album, I don't know. It's really good, fun music.

[seamantis]

http://www.myspace.com/rumskib

Ive been listening to a couple of songs by this band and they are pretty tasty. Bad band name though.

[dei]

I already have Rumskib. :)

[seamantis]

nice one :)

Im going to get their album. Is it any good?

[Krash100]

Hell yeah, Spacemen 3 are so good.

I second that. Swervedriver is pretty good. Their second album Mezcal Head is probably their best and has some shoegaze-ish moments.

[Zebra]

Mezcal Head is awesome.

[CatfishJones]

drop nineteen
galaxie 500

[baytamusic]

I have to second the swervedriver. More pop, less boring. A lot of the other suggestions are great also. I don't know if The Jesus and Mary Chain are shoegaze really, but they are good.

[baytamusic]

oh and mezcal head is really good. i'd really recommend the first record called "raise" also. over time i'll think you'll find you like the first record better.

[rocknrollstar5]

Ride were always quite a good shoegaze act

[Eliminator]

they werere probably the least shoegazey shoegaze band

[seamantis]

some song of nowhere were pretty shoegazey. Like seagull. But yeah i see what you mean though. Still they have some ace tunes.

[Neoteric]

Chapterhouse-WhirlpoolListen to this.

[ATM]

I bought that album for 2 bucks.

[dei]

Where?

[superpeer]

oh and mezcal head is really good. i'd really recommend the first record called "raise" also. over time i'll think you'll find you like the first record better.

Yeah, Mezcal Head is okay.

[Anxious]

I think Mescaline Head would have been a better name.

[dei]

I can't listen to a lot of these albums because they were released by members of the RIAA.

[ATM]

The library.

edit: regarding where I bought Whirlpool
