The Shoegaze/Dream Pop Thread Genre • Page 7

the first three were obvious choices (not criticizing)

but I was pleasantly surprised with many of the choices

for example

- I had never heard that first Verve album and did so today... it is sick AF
- jesu s/t at 20, fuck yes
- Bardo Pond!! not my fav (close second tho, and still amazing) but loved to see it on the list
- Dead Cities!!
- Windy & Carl!
- APtBS!
- Asobi Seksu!
- ASDiG's Ashes Grammar
- Brian Jonestown!!
- loveliescrushing!!
- Alecest and Nothing hehe

so in general, I like this list a lot

Bufo Alvarius is probably my #1 shoegaze album of all time

 

There's a new Cloakroom song on the Relapse sampler and it's ridiculously good. Really hoping we get a new album in 2017.

 

I had no clue they signed to Relapse. January releases always get overlooked by me but Further Out was immense

 

Me neither, and they just did an interview with Clrvynt which doesn't even mention it. Seems a good fit for them, though. Cloakroom Unveil 'Natural Unnatural' Approach to Shoegaze

 

definitely a lot heavier than the album

 

I love Cloakroom. Thanks for sharing this, also had no idea they had a new song out.

 

did you even notice who did that interview too? pretty wild he's doing interviews for them haha, he knows a ton of stuff too

 

Yeah I did a bit of a double-take at first because I recognised the name but couldn't place it, then I was like 'is this really the TDWP guy??' haha. Good on him, was a good piece. Clrvynt is shaping up to be a pretty good site so far.

 

yeah, that site sort of came out of nowhere, they've been doing everything lately. i dig it

 

Damn that song is really cool, doesn't sound like they recorded with Matt Talbot unless I glossed over something in the interview

 

It was self-recorded in their new studio. I presume they're not using analog tape.

 

the reunion swervedriver record is maybe better than any of their pre-breakup stuff

The Jesus and Mary Chain detail new album, ‘Damage and Joy’

Hmmmmm

 

every jesus and mary chain album past darklands is pretty bad so im pretty skeptical about how good they could sound in 2016

 

This Oyama album is two years old, but it's really really good. I like that unlike a lot of this style of music, the vocals are clear and towards the front of the mix. Really good songwriting. On Topshelf, if that convinces anyone

 

agreed, like the vocals up in the mix a lot in this

 

The new Slowdive song is so great @cwhit

 

Yeah very good

 

Slowdive is the one shogaze band that doesn't click with me - they just bore me

Souvlaki Space Station is such a jam, tho

 

The Mites Ride a Wave of Noisy Nostalgia on 'Asphalt Ocean'

Power Trip and ex-Iron Age, have two other EPs which are real cool as well

 

can't believe Slowdive came out with a new tune. totally took me by surprise on my spotify when i saw it. didnt even know that was in the works. but im glad as hell about it.

 

Their name is constantly thrown around in the same spheres as a few others I absolutely adore, like MBV and Swervedriver, but I have to agree. I couldn't even get into Souvlaki, ostensibly their masterpiece, though I admittedly didn't try too hard when it wasn't clicking.

This new tune actually catches my interest some, though.
