Newer Shoegaze/related Bands
Little known and up and coming shoegaze and related genre bands. |
1 | | Planning for Burial Desideratum
I'm going to go ahead and get the bigger artists out of the way early on. PFB is largely associated with many of these bands and is a considerable influence on them with his mix of sludge, shoegaze, slowcore, and ambient.

2 | | Whirr Sway
Whirr is perhaps the best known of the newer wave of shoegaze bands, putting their own twist on the MBV/Slowdive sound.

3 | | Nothing Guilty of Everything
They've gotten huge after signing to Relapse and putting out their first LP earlier this year. Punk vibes all around.

4 | | Airs Adore
Now we get to the smaller bands. Airs, from San Francisco, mixes shoegaze with post-punk, black metal, and other sounds.

5 | | Earth Mover Winter Introduction
From North Carolina, the band is clearly named after a particular Have a Nice Life track.

6 | | Threading Azure
Dark shoegaze from Michigan.

7 | | Crisis Arm Rend
From Los Angeles. Expect poppy guitar melodies under a fog of doom.

8 | | Miserable Halloween Dream
San Francisco. Kristina was the latest female vocalist of Whirr and now works as Miserable and King Woman.

9 | | Pallow I'll Build a Well
Atlanta: Shameful self-promotion. My band, which does some kind of a mix of shoegaze, slowcore, and other sounds.

10 | | Fairest End
New Orleans. Sludgy slowcore. Think an insanely heavy Codeine or Duster.

11 | | Foie Gras Innermost Shrine, Heavily Gilded
San Francisco. Brilliant drone/ambient solo project that sometimes features Grouper-like tracks.

12 | | Balcony View Night Falls and the Day Will Never Come
Auburn, Alabama. Another superb drone/ambient project, sometimes reminiscent of Windy & Carl.

13 | | Proud Father Hearu Shi no Proud Father
New Orleans. Again, drone ambient and one of the best (if not the best) in recent years. Shoegaze, noise, etc. sounds.

14 | | Twin Studies Precious Places
Atlanta. More upbeat than the other artists, with catchy pop elements showing clearly.

15 | | The Stargazer Lilies We Are the Dreamers
Pennsylvania. Fuzz. Reverb. Awesome.

16 | | Velouria Smile Until It Hurts
Birmingham. What they have online now is more like dreamy indie-pop but their newer songs (not yet online) are definitely more noisy and shoegaze influenced.
