The Shoegaze/Dream Pop Thread Genre • Page 49

Those first five or six songs are fucking great. It takes a lot to get me dancing but damn...

 

I listened to this for the first time on my way in to work this morning and hot damn it sounds so good. Needs to be played as loud as possible which I kinda love about it. Produced by the same guy that worked on Guilty of Everything so makes sense it has that nice heaviness to it without leaning too much into anything metal.

 

This was pretty good. Not traditional shoegaze but a good mix of indie rock and post punk maybe?

 

Desperately need to catch up on these genres now that Fall is approaching. What are some of peoples' favorites of the year?

 

Broke these up into first second and third tiers, but I like them all

Launder - Happening
Japanese Heart Software - Soft
Letting Up Despite Great Faults - IV

Collapse, shoegaze/dream pop from Japan

 

Thanks for the recs, guys. Lots to check out!

Here’s one from me. The dude from ambient band Hammock’s wife put out an album today. She’s sung on their stuff before, and the album has a similar atmosphere and tone to it but obviously with more pop. Really enjoyed my first listen, the back-half is seriously beautiful.

 

Played the daylights out of Slowdive in college, now I'm sick of 'em!

 

Lets go!!!

 

Haven’t listened to Superheaven in a looooooooong time

 

Their two albums are SOLID

 

Fucking love Superheaven. Both the albums are still in my general listening rotation. Webbed Wing has also been a great follow up project from Taylor and Jake that still kinda scratches my itch for that sound even though most of it sounds more like Lemonheads than grunge
