Shoegaze recommendations...

[Brave.Archangel]

I've just recently discovered Slowdive.. Love it.. Probably one of my favorite bands to date. I've never really experienced or heard this type of musical beauty before.. Are there any other bands in this genre that I need to check out?? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

[M3]

Slowdive is awesome. I think the best recommendation would be to check out My Bloody Valentine, in particular their album Loveless. Also, Rumskib's self-titled debut album is very reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine.

 

[LifeDepraved]

If you're more into female vocals I'd say check out Lush. Spooky and Split are their best work imo.

 

[Brave.Archangel]

Excellent. Thanks!

I agree with LifeDepraved, Lush's "split" album is one my favorite albums, besides a couple of semi-corny songs it's actually very beautiful. "Spooky" is more pure shoegazer material while "split" is something between shoegazer, indie and britpop

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless album of course. Also, the new Alcest album! Though it has roots in metal, the sound of it is related to shoegaze as well, I think. Amazing album, for sure.

 

[M3]

Yeah, the new Alcest cd is surprisingly good for a debut album. Definately check that out, as well as the other essentials already listed in this thread. Also, Rumskib's debut album deserves some recognition. They just released their first cd, and it's one of the best surprises of the year. If you like My Bloody Valentine, then don't miss out on Rumskib.

MBV and The Brian Jonestown Massacre's "Methodrone" are a couple favs of mine.

Ride!

Oh, I could make an entire night of just Slowdive and Ride.

 

[LifeDepraved]

Swervedriver...and Low's first album is pretty cool

 

[Brave.Archangel]

alcest's new album is indeed awesome

Wow! someone listening to BJM around here! keep music evil

Loveless is truly an amazing album, I have to agree. Also, if you're looking for more recent stuff, Jesu's Conquerer is very much along the same lines, just with bits of Godflesh here and there...

Peace

Definitely, though I personally prefer "Silver"


And BJM is fucking great!

That RUMSKIB album is an absolute must.


I've been finding out about some really cool eclectro-shoegays stuff lately which might also appeal to you:

Yes yes! As a matter of fact, pretty much everything he's done is pretty freaking good heh...

I definitely need more shoegaze in my life...

Love and Peace!

M83- "Don't Save Us From the Flames"

Tina! Tina! Tina! Tina!
Out of the flames
A piece of brain in my hair
The wheels are melting
A ghost is screaming your name
Tina! Tina!
Bleeding all around
Liquid metal through my veins
The radio's burning
A ghost is screaming your name
Tina! Tina! Tina! Tina!

m83 is greatness
