Go fuck yourself.

what a terrible start to a thread

is boris shoegaze

sometimes drone, sometimes doom, sometimes shoegaze
always good

Is boris shoegaze or shugazi? And what is shugazi?

that was the point

Kairon Irse is criminally underrated for their uniqueness in a genre full of the same shit

ah, to be new

Blur were never considered shoegaze

Shoegaze is a superior genre

yes

Yes

JAPGAZE IS FUCKING HORRIBLE

Thoughts on this?

There's my cue
youtube.com/watch?v=M3AFdNreCO8

we /dedgazi/ all of the sudden?

Lovely.
Care to share more like this?

shoejazzpop. listen to this if you know what's good for you.

Sometimes: youtube.com/watch?v=jlcfEtBpvFM

Also, any opinions on their last collaboration with Merzbow? It's called Gensho: borismerzbow.bandcamp.com/

Read the description for better understanding of the project.

I liked it but not as much as I thought I would since it's hyped up and shit.

Listened to pic related today, was pretty good. I was surprised because I was not expecting much, I had even forgotten I had it in my library. Well, a pleasant surprise.

Kinoko Teikoku are really really fucking good!

Have you heard their new album?

Not yet. I'm listening to just Long Goodbye right now, but I can already tell it'll be one of my favourite bands. In fact I'm about to order all of their CDs!

That's nice. Don't forget to get the limited edition while you still can: cdjapan.co.jp/product/UPCH-29240

Yeah it is pretty hyped up. there are definitely ways it could have been better, I've seen a few people bring up it's length as a negative.The main operator behind Sweet Trip even said V:D:C could stand to be 15-20 minutes shorter.

That album sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a listen.

Shoegaze is a stale fart in a dry leather briefcase. Why bother with boring rock?

top 3 shoegaze albums ez

Comes with a DVD huh? Would you recommend getting it? I'm not that big into concert recordings really, but having variations of the songs might be cool? It's cheaper on Amazon too, 3100 yen; only 4 bucks more than the standard one.

It wouldn't hurt paying 4 bucks more for extra content, right? Assuming you can, of course. It includes some photo cards too. It'd be pretty nice of you to rip/scan the extra content for us poorfags who happen to love the band.

Yeah, 4 bucks is nothing, I might as well get the LE.
Though I'm sure DVD-rips will be all over the place, they're a pretty popular band after all, no?

I haven't seen anyone mention the existence of the DVD until now so, I can't say. I do am pretty sure that the rip won't come from Japan because of their copyright laws.

Huh. Well yeah, I guess we have to depend on people that import stuff and are willing to rip it.

In any case, if no one else can do it, I will. Not sure where I'd put it though. Maybe MEGA or rutracker, or both.

anyone got anything similar to this?

overrated af on here. I mean its okay, but its no where near as good as people pretend it is.

one of my favorite albums of all time desu
I don't really know why, it makes me feel something inside
have some Japanese goodness
youtube.com/watch?v=2ghLX_2XVNA

Nah, Syrup16g is the top of the shoegaze game, mbv is bretty gud tho

Anyone else noticed how expensive Souvlaki is these days? Even an used CD is 20€ on discogs.

what about you post a song form him feggit?

MBV, Ride, Slowdive

or

MBV, Ride, Lush?

MBV, Slowdive, Lush

That's weird.
On German Amazon you can get the 2-disc version of Souvlaki for 10€. In fact you can get all 3 Slowdive albums with 2-discs each for slightly more than 30 bucks.

Similar thing for MBV too.

JAPGAZE = WORST SHOEGAZE. This is fact

JAPGAZE best gaze!

What should be the modern shoegaze trinity? Only albums from 2010 and younger allowed.

>Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time (2013)
>True Widow - As High as the Highest Heavens (2011)
>Tokyo Shoegazer - Crystallize (2011)

Literally who

The production on that Candy Claws album almost ruins the whole thing for me. It has such dense, lush instrumentation but they just compressed it into a tight, flat brick of sound. Really disappointing desu.

not even the best mbv album

Never Say Goodbye is absolutely beautiful

It's a pretty shit album

Why is Loveless the only good album in the genre?

I can't seem to get into ride.

what about doomgaze?

youtube.com/watch?v=RfytPS6j4Cw

fuck off. i like lush, but ride belongs with the other 2

>Pinkshinyultrablast - Grandfeathered (2016)
>Helen - The Original Faces (2015)
> Barlow - Fell Asleep EP (2013)

I don't know how to make good songs so I just overproduce everything with texture until you cringe: the album.

more drone gaze but yeah love jesu

They've only got two demo albums and a split EP, definitely worth checking all of those out
Pastel Blue –Pastel Demos [2010]
>shoegaze, Japanese, dreamy, noisy

Oeil's pretty similar in sound, but they drift a bit closer towards tame MBV worship than Slowdive

I need to do more looking around soon, I've been sharing the same 10 links for a while now

I can't understand a genre so I give it shit on Sup Forums: The post

*four snare hits*

The albums I see get most frequently memed on here are definitely

>Candy Claws - Ceres And Calypso In The Deep Time (2013)
>Kairon; IRSE! - Ujubasajuba (2014)
>きのこ帝国 - 渦になる or eureka (2012/2013)
>Pinkshinyultrablast - Everything Else Matters or Grandfeathered (2015/2016)
>A Sunny Day In Glasgow –Sea When Absent (2014)
>東京酒吐座 - Crystallize (2011)
>True Widow - As High As The Highest Heavens... (2011)

Kinda surprised there's never much mention of m b v or Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's second album

Also if we're counting dream pop and blackgaze then honorable mentions need to be made for Beach House, Alcest, and Lantlôs

CRAAZY

Yeah, because they're middle-of-the-road Brit Pop. Not really that surprising.

They'll also never be considered country, or opera, or rap.

shoegaze is fucking gay
hipsters are fucking gay
you guys are all fucking gay
Sup Forums is fucking gay

kill yourselves please

Someone send discord inv please

Nice poem

I'd say:
>Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time (2013)
>A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Sea When Absent (2014)
>My Bloody Valentine - mbv (2013)

I know people wouldn't want to put another MBV album in the highest status possible, but fuck the haters. Is is going to go down in history like Loveless? Of course not. Is it one of the best shoegaze albums since 2010? Absolutely.

I think closely behind are
>Pinkshinyultrablast - Everything Else Matters (2015)
>The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Days of Abandon (2014)

I know you are but what am I?

FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

shoegaze is homo
you are a fucking fag
enjoy this haiku

NOTHING WRONG WITH ME

>shoegaze

I mean which faggot even came up with this faggot genre's name?

and how much of a homo do you have to be to listen to it and say, "yeeeaaaahh I'm a total pussyyyy and I like shoegaze 'cause I'm a cuck and really like dicks but don't tell anyone. I also liked linkin park when I was 12 cuz i was a homo then too but not as pretentious lol"

>the start
>image is not the psychocandy cover
lel

>six syllables

youtube.com/watch?v=2HhSS1hUUjQ

that's not a haiku
you disgusting mongoloid
thought of suicide?

add 'got' to the last word in the second sentence :^)

Absolutely newfag to the genre, what bands i must know?

all of em

...

While is a good chart to show the development of the genre, I think starting with essentials (the big three) is the best way to go.

Just listened to pic related this morning. I was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely not quite as great as Ceres and Calypso, but it had some really, really nice moments. "Diving Knife" is fucking great.

Then explain this you fucking pleb

Let's vote on it, brehs

rkursem.com/poll/view.php?id=41895ba659ac6c173

Its good but its not even their best album

well what is then?

I like Candy claws even more than loveless etc, I used to be convinced that there was only 1 good shoegaze album

Might just be because i find it much more relatable that i prefere this

you can cry to all of this

you can only cry to some of this

How do you feel about the shoegaze album of the decade?

>69198788
i am rubber and you are glue so what you say bounces off me and sticks to you!!

>Checked

real good
it's like a sonic thill ride mang

Something less on the shoegaze side, more on the rock side?
Supercar - Three Out Change!! is pretty similar. Less intense but more "dense" sounding; more muddied vocals/sound.
Sample: youtube.com/watch?v=14egyXDMlsQ

nice dubs

...

UPLOAD IT ALREADY YOU FUCKING FAGGOT

You need to listen to shit right now if you haven't. Dude has one of the best voices in shoegaze.

youtube.com/watch?v=3XWmpHp3O9E

They were though in like 1990 and 1991 before they went britpop

where's the guy who said he bought it

>mbv at top
>3 votes

is it too early to call it, guys?

can i take back my answer

nvm i did it
