I don't like nowhere, it feels to much like britpop for me.
I don't even like Ride at all

>>Post your unpopular shoegaze opinions
Many seem to agree, but Ride are completely mediocre. Slowdive are good but not even close to MBV. Half of the songs on Souvlaki are mediocre.

Agreed, aside from Scar everything I've heard of theirs has been really underwhelming. And even Scar is hindered by how uneven the playing is

I fucking despise bands trying to revive the genre, especially when they don't make any effort not to sound like MBV, CT, SD, Ride, the list could go on...

best gaze

>ride

GTFO, cunt.

Spiritualized is more than just a bridge between genres, they are one of the best Shoegaze bands to exist.

Is there any dark shoegaze?

If Loveless and My Bloody Valentine are Michangelo, then Sweet Trip and VDC are Bernini.

The next chapter of the Shoegaze book. Idk who comes afterwards

>Post your unpopular shoegaze opinions
Astrobrite are a better mbv than mbv ever where.

This guy that makes music with a girl, they went to jail or something.

MBV?

What do you expect/hope to expect from their new album?

it's probably going to be not as good as pygmalion

need recs for a good shoegaze album for an adult prog listener with a secret love for cocteau twins. I hate angsty teen vocals and over the top teen-feels.

pls respond.

There should be a Big 4 instead of a Big 3.
Loveless, Souvlaki, Nowhere, and The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads.

>prog listener
You dun goofd.

it's becoming apparent that noone likes ride, me included. also
>Slowdive are good but not even close to MBV
have you listened to pygmalion? what do you think of it? i think it's vastly superior to souvlaki

slowdive - pygmalion
stereolab

Holy shit neil
And I thought jeff was over...

How can anyone not like ride?
Each of the big three represents a pillar of shoegaze styles at their best. MBV is noise oriented shoegaze, Slowdive is more dream pop oriented and Ride are the best of the alt rock gaze with bands like Swervedriver and Chapterhouse

thanks, man

>Ride is shit

Ride is the best shoegaze band.

>Lush isn't that good

Feel free to die in a car fire.

I think what people don't get about Lush is that out of all those early shoegaze acts they were the ones that really kept that do it yourself punk aesthetic. They very quickly found themselves hitting the big time, being asked by Perry Farrell to join the Lollapolooza line-up. I love shit like that. Stories like that are awesome to me.

Blur with fuzz. No thanks.

I don't like britpop or british alternative at all, Ride isn't for me.
Love both Slowdive and MBV though.

I prefer DIIV ofer My Bloody Valentine

Early Mercury Rev were the greatest noise pop band of all time.

That's a funny way to spell Curve.

That doesn't make their music any better

Album in pic is my least favorite by them.

Album in OP's pic rather

>Post your unpopular shoegaze opinions

This was really good

Split and Spooky are good albums. And lately I've been getting into Lovelife. Good brit pop stuff. Like it. Wish I'd listened to it sooner.

One wouldn't exist without the other tho.

I liked it too

qt

I'm working on it, stay woke.

Agreed

that's a fact but i don't mind. in terms of sound diiv is way more interesting to me.

gloom

...

who is she?

>unpopular shoegaze opinion
i like you made me realise and isn't anything better than loveless, sometimes. not always though

pic attached is so good

their best, easily

So glad you agree, user. Everyone seems to say Eureka is their best, but Long Goodbye is.

You have good taste, sir. The Depreciation Guild is patrician as hell.

the sky ferreira's ex girlfriend

Are you me? i love that album and i hate Ride

The only things I can think of are stuff like Have a Nice Life and The Angelic Process.

yeah yo eureka is good too but not quite on that level. got any recs? i stick to the few shoegaze groups i love so i don't know too many (i dig mbv, My Dead Girlfriend, Whirr, pinkshinyultrablast)

Alcest

you made me realise is unpopular???? good lord

Just went through their discography, I really liked this track
youtube.com/watch?v=dQK0H31uqa8

Love that one. Fake World Wonderland is so good.

where did i say that in my post, friendo. reading comprehension

We seem to have similar tastes, those are all of the ones I've listened to the most over the last year or so.
For more JP stuff, listen to Citrus by Asobi Seksu. They're based in NY, but the lead is from Tokyo. Also try out Urban Twilight by Oeil; it's incredible.

Some other ones I've been on lately are Salome by Marriages, Guilty of Everything by Nothing, and Lesser Matters by The Radio Dept.

you posted that you like you made me realise in an unpopular opinion thread (implying that its an unpopular opinion, correct?)

I love this album, but Spirit Youth is way better. Whatever happened to this band?

asobi seksu is rad, i agree. i wasn't into Nothing's album but i can give it another try. i'll be sure to check out the others!

oh for real? i've had Spirit Youth on my comp for the longest time but i've always been content to listen to In Her Gentle Jaws, i'll check it out! no clue where this band went :(

i said i like it more than loveless sometimes. i'm sorry though don't be mad pls

Let me know what you think mane
I'm active in literally every /shugazi/ thread

im a retard lmao thanks for clarifying. I feel that way sometimes as well, depends on mood for me.

for sure, i'm on mu somewhat rarely these days but i'll check it out in the next few days and letchu know ;)

it's shoegaze, dumbasses

Yeah, I think so anyway. My Chariot is a fucking jam and Dream About Me is probably my favorite Depreciation Guild song ever

Am I the only guy here loving the shit out of Iroha? I'm always recommending it on these generals but I see no love here:(
>inb4 Iroha member

Slowdive > MBV = Ride
Glifted and the Goslings aren't shoegaze

Iroha, Nothing, Whirr, Anne, Pity Sex' EPs probably

I'm expecting alternative rock/dream pop with some shoegaze hints to be honest. Not like that's bad though.

what

"adult prog listener who hates angsty teen vocals and teen-feels"
tough guy aren't you? I won't judge anyone. Listen to Swervedriver - Mezcal Head and Spectres - Dying

my last great personal shoegaze discovery uwu

thanks. I love iroha now too

Who does /shugazi/ like better, The Depreciation Guild or Sweet Trip?

Is there more dub-influenced shoegaze? Stuff like Seefeel's "Filter Dub" and sleepy.ab's "四季ウタカタ" turned me on.

Seefeel - Filter Dub
youtube.com/watch?v=xmSIaLBlEdM

sleepy.ab - 四季ウタカタ
youtube.com/watch?v=v2gqsSMtLcc

and yes, I've already listened to Fishmans' Uchu Nippon Setagaya and Long Season. They were alright, but I don't like the singer's voice.

Dark as in sound? Stuff like this? Because if so, I'm interested too.

whats this

Is there any Pop Punk Shoegaze

bay wire son - gently

She Found Now >> Sometimes
Wonder 2 is the greatest thing they've ever made fuck u scaruffi

bump

>pop punk
>shoegaze
what

Pinkshinyultrablast is overrated
Kairon; IRSE - Ujubasajuba
not really anything like Cocteau Twins, but it sounds cool
it's up there

She's so good it hurts guys.

Does Truth Hurts possess the greatest wall of sound ever made?
youtube.com/watch?v=102x6Sg26ag

Pop Punk Shoegaze could and should never exist because of the fundamental differences between the two genres and the fan base that encompass each.

>Pop Punk
>Fan base embraces a social community element of like-minded people who go to shows to socialize and mosh and fuck etc

>Shoegaze
>Fan base consists of thousands of kids sitting in their rooms together alone listening to gorgeous overwhelming walls of sound, longing for romance while knowing no relationship could ever compare to the beauty of this music. Painfully anti-social.

See what I mean?

JUST

Sweet Trip. Not so much because of V:D:C but because of YWNKW

The Depreciation Guild, but they're more dream poppy than shoegazey imo

astrobrite deluxer is so fucking shit it makes me hate the entire genre

oh, and Spirit Youth > In Her Gentle Jaws

A place to bury strangers

That's not a very unpopular opinion actually...

Fuck what's that one sad ambient dream pop with the black and white album covers? I think its a solo female?

Objectively correct
MBV clone
They sound like Galaxie 500 outtakes
"Alt rock" combined with Shoegaze doesn't really mesh that well
No comments
Debatable, Disco Inferno was pretty amazing as well (they're up in there though)
I wish I could get into Seefeel, but it has just aged so terribly
YES YES. Nothing Is is actually a pretty subtle track (best track of 2013 imo)
Respect
