Beautiful/ambient/postrock/shoegaze That Isn't Boring

hi sputnik, lately i've been wanting to venture past the indie pop ri'm normally accustomed rrwith. the main reason i came on this site rwas actually to find out about beautiful music, i rrthink animal rcollective is the one indie pop band i know of that has a spiritual rbeautiful rrundertone to their music. i want to get into that spiritual rbeautiful undertone even more. no, rrit doesn't have to be rpsychedelic. only other bands i've come across like this are my rrbloody rvalentine and sigur ros. okay so please recommend me rambient, postrock, rshoegaze, which i rwant to get into, that is rbeautiful and experimental but NOT boring.
1animal collective
campfire songs


okay i knowwww, i like alot of indie pop already, but what i want more of is
the beautufil undertone in this music. its present in almost everything they
do but i think im putting campfire songs here just to show you an example
because all of its like quiet like that. you can rec me beautiful spiritual folk
like this but im looking to get into newer genres like ambient and postrock.
2my bloody valentine
loveless


omg...this album...wow...words can't express...its like noise but really pretty
noise, not like merzbow or any ugly unbeautiful shit. are there any other
shoegaze like this? don't rec me tooooo much shoegaze though idk, i just
want more perspectives on this type of beautiful noise type of thing, more
albums as good as this, not really inferior copycats but more beautiful
albums.
3 alcest
souvenirs d'un autre monde


right, i feel like a really metal vibe in this, which is why i can't get into this
as much as my bloody valentine sorry. i know its hardly metal but idk there
is just something about this that i can't really put into words that i'm finding
the music hard to grasp.
4sigur ros
( )


ehh gets repetitive at times with the whole vocal lyrics thing. unique, i like
the idea but the language gets repetetive. i loveee untitled 3 though.

7 godspeed you! black emperor
F#A#?


i heard a little bit of this and actually um i find the excessive use of talking
vocals really retarded and try hard... i don't really want to finish listening to
this... i don't mean to make fun of people who like this, i get why someone
would like it i just don't its not my thing.
8stars of the lid
and their refinement of the decline


...........i'm sorry but the emperor.....i REALLY tried.... i think the emperor
wears no clothes here...........I REALLY TRIED to get into this but it seems to
get worse and worse the more i try. i even tried not trying at all and it
doesn't work. i'm sorry, i don't "get" it and i have tried to get it so it can't
possibly grow on me at this point. please don't recommend me albums like
this, this just sounds like soft notes moooooing slowly for two hours. rec
me prettier more out of this world music.

the disintegration loops


its an hour long of the same thing repeating over and over...pretty but way
too long and boring....don't rec me such repetitive things
10william basinski
the disintegration loops ii


slightly better than the first one because its two 30 minutes songs instead
of 1 1 hour one, and i prefer the way it disintegrates in these its prettier.
but 1. would i like 3 and 4? and 2. i'm not feeling this, i don't think its the
"most beautiful thing evarrr" so rec me actual beautiful and not toooo
repetitive things.Your Reason
