Shoegaze

[TAFH33]

What now…?

Blame the chart!

[beastie]

Shoegaze metal is a thing.

[TAFH33]

Oh yeah I know, I just don’t want to get the blame for unpopular labels when I can deflect it to reddit.

for modern/heavy shoegaze I really like miserable

[Kallgeese]

Fucking love Jesu. This song definitely fits the Metal Shoegaze remit.

Transfigure

[TAFH33]

I still need to try his stuff outside of the Silver EP! But that was definitely one of the best discoveries in the other thread, it’s perfect.

[CdiGrassi]

That list is pretty comprehensive and plenty of treasure therein…for moose X+Y is a good album but not really very shoegaze - their early EPs are superb though and are on the Sonny of Sam EP or the extended re-release of X and Y at the back end…

All Slowdive’s LPs deserve a mention…

Pitchfork’s top 50 shoegaze list is, in my opinion, a strong general overview

Are there any other charts like that for other genres?

Because that’s a good chart.

[beastie]

There’s charts like this for loads of stuff. I just do a google search for a band or genre and add the term flow chart. I have gotten into lots of bands this way

I got into post rock with this for example

Cool, thanks!

[UncleRetrospective]

The first Jesu self titled is amazing.

[Icarus-Smicarus]

found/posted this one in the math-rock thread a while back

Just by looking at one of those post-punk charts, I’ve just discovered (and already fallen in love with) Liquid Liquid, and discovered that No Wave is an amazing genre.

[I_LIKE_CATS]

Modern Shoegaze has to be really good, and do something a little different for me to like it. I was there for the original wave, so hearing reheated Loveless b-sides is depressing.

Pinkshinyultrablast and Ringo Deathstarr (ignore comedy name) are pretty decent modern bands.

[beastie]

I really like the charts. Some are dreadful but some are compiled by people that know what they’re talking about. Got into so many bands and genres using them.

Not sure we went back before 2013, but here’s the annual threads from the last few years. Most bases covered in there I reckon:

2013 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2013

2014 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2014

2015 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2015

2016/2017 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2016

Rolling shoegaze thread (the old-DiS sequel)

We need to be ready for anything. If MBV see this pic, they are going to feel like they failed and need to reevaluate.

Current thread(s):

Rolling shoegaze / dreampop thread 2018

In response to another thread, I thought I’d kick off this year’s Rolling Shoegaze thread. I thought last year was a bit lacking (other than perhaps Slowdive’s excellent return), so I’m hoping for better this year. MBV have promised (ha) something, Ringo Deathstarr are swaddled in parenting so might not and Pinkshinyultrablast are prolific enough they’ll probably get something out. Post any shoegaze, dreampop and other stuff that is neither of these things, but hey, who cares about genre accurac…

Melodic, Aggressive Shoegaze?

Does anyone have any recommendations for great melodic, aggressive shoegaze albums? It seems like a lot of the bands I try out while digging around online have “the sound”, but the songs kind of just hang around and exist. The band Nothing might be what I’m most thinking of, particularly that ending sequence of “B&E”. Also songs like “ACD” by Nothing, “Loon Calls” by Cheatahs, or “Son of Mustang Ford” / “Deep Seat” by Swervedriver.

[RatKingCole]

Should be a thread just for music flowcharts. I like em

[anon30627475]

point: electronic shoegaze

who is electronic shoegaze?

[robluvsnic]

Ringo Deathstarr is easily the best of the nu-nu-gaze. Cracking band.

For newer twists to the sound, you might also wanted to consider Tiny Fireflies - they have some new work out on Spotify and Bandcamp. More subdued and dream pop-y. Also, Panda Riot and Lightfoils. All are out of Chicago.
