Shoegaze
 

Anyone into shoegaze music here?

Loop, Lush, Boo Radleys, MBV, etc...

nope

first alcest album is good but other than that f this genre

shoegaze is cool, mbv is my go-to music for when im sick of everything else

you ever heard lush???

nah never heard lush

ive got a few artists like mbv, grouper, deerhunter, have a nice life, and film school that i listen too fairly often its not really a genre that i find new stuff in though

recently downloaded a Pretty The Quick Black Eyes ep that is pretty good

ive heard of pretty the quick black eyes, never listened. and grouper is pretty shoegazey. htat dragging a dead deer album is haunting man.

im gonna link you to some lush

hi chwis :)

its okay

never really in a mood to listen to it but if my gf puts it on i dont mind

umm none of this stuff is shoegaze

jesus and mary chain, mazzy star, cocteua twins (overlapping with dream pop territory), my bloody valentine, slow dive

i like dead can dance

not really shoegaze but darkwave really

really lush and the telescopes arent shoegaze thanks dude

Starflyer 59s Gold, Silver, and Americana. I never really enjoyed much other shoegaze bands. Jesus and Mary Chain's first two albums are great but I have a hard time calling them shoegaze, maybe a shoegaze prototype if anything.

definitely a genre I've plumbed.

All those mentioned are great and tie into the genre.

The Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton (one of me absolute favorites)
Swervedriver - Mezcalhead (showing a bit of the extremes of the genre)
Moose - XYZ (a great shoegaze band turned UKpop, just with a very nice sweeping clean sound

absolutely love The Pale Saints
The Telescopes I'd been turned onto recently and they have a sort of bluesy touch to their instrumentation giving it a truly clean shimmer. Clearly showing the imperatives between bands that predominantly use effects to shape their sound vs. bands that work their sound in-studio...and MBV being a great bridge for that moat. Sonic Youth can be considered shoegaze in one way or another.

Radial Spangle - Syrup Macrame (great shoegaze album with a slightly mushroomy ambiance instilled in the production)

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YSzW8hwHfs[/url] a pop gem.

swirlies are excellent, although [I]blonder tongue[/I] ain't my favourite by them (still great tho).

in terms of my favourite, probably the pale saints. three fuckin' sweet records they had.

Nowhere by Ride is one of my favorite albums, I also like some of Deerhunters Shoegazer stuff

ride is the shit.

the past two Merchandise album have been pretty shoegazey.

I've really enjoyed all the shoegaze I've heard. I'll look up all the artists you all mentioned, I'd love to hear more of it.

[B]Catherine Wheels[/B] [B]Ferment[/B] and [B]Chrome[/B] are classic shoeegaze albums. [B]Amusement Parks on Fire [/B] are a great new shoegaze band as well.

[QUOTE=cbmartinez;18861431]really lush and the telescopes arent shoegaze thanks dude[/QUOTE]

The first two [B]Lush[/B] albums [B]Spooky[/B] and [B]Split[/B] are shoegazey, went more indie with [B]Lovelife[/B] though.

new Whirr album is so cool listening the shit out of it.

[QUOTE=trippedhimself;18871413]ride is the shit.[/QUOTE]

Yeah [B]Rides Nowhere[/B] was the first shoegaze album i heard. Got it when it was released back in 1990. They were also one of the best live bands i have seen .Saw them many times, supported by [B]Slowdive[/B] [B]The Verve[/B] [B]Mercury Rev[/B]] Great Band.

[QUOTE=Juddybear;18859437]first alcest album is good but other than that f this genre[/QUOTE]

[B]Alcest[/B] are indeed a musically shoegaze band, but with a harder edge vocal. Great band though. French to .:rolleyes::rolleyes:

i like ghastly city sleep, if that counts

they most definitely are and yes they rule. my only gripe with the genre (and most others) is that there are very few bands actually pushing creativity and most bands just want to sound like slowdive or the jesus and mary chain which is cool if you like that stuff but i personally dig bands that aren't afraid and skilled enough to blend it with something different and move it forward or else we're just going to fall into some weird 90's wormhole and who really wants that
