Has an entire band ever aged worse than My Bloody Valentine? (physically, not musically)
Lincoln Ramirez
>tfw /shugazi/ never lives
Post shoegaze if you want to live
Anthony Foster
Easy answer, yes
David Phillips

i need pedal suggestions
already have a skysurfer reverb and saving up for an EH cathedral reverb.
what else
Kevin Sullivan
Shoegaze originated as a term for a bunch of bands from that area, kinda like Grunge.
Fuzz or distortion.
I personally like the Big Muff, but I mostly play bass so I'm not the best to give advice. If you want a good bass fuzz for shoegaze you can't go wrong with the MXR one.
Joshua Baker
Dudes listen to this song. Listen how Anton has those guitars sound like they're literally crying and wailing around the 2:15 mark. This is how you express yourself with a guitar. This is beauty beyond belief to me.
Austin Collins
I love the lyrics to Blown A Wish actually
>fall apart my bleeding heart
>nothing left to do
>once in love
>I'll be the death of you
Kayden Martin
Also does anyone know how he's doing that? Yes I know it's feedback but there's something else going on there. Is it just manipulation of a tremolo arm?
Xavier Gray
What? They've all aged exactly how you'd expect after nearly 30 years. Bilinda's still a cutie.
Angel Cox
Shit! I posted a live version. I mean on the studio version
Liam Perry
>she told me that she loved me
>love just for a day
>and all the time I feel her
>I feel her fade away :'(
Shoegaze can have great lyrics. People make a big deal out of how unimportant they are but I really appreciate them.
William Adams
sure my man
Julian Hernandez
how do I into shoegaze?
does anyone have a chart?
Lincoln Phillips
He is so cute and sexy.
Adrian Peterson
I started with Asobi Seksu because I was really into a lot of Japanese bands.
Ryder Sanchez
Thomas Torres
listen to 'machine gun' by slowdive
Oliver Phillips
>EH cathedral reverb
Pretty good reverse reverb, but also take a look at the Digitech RV-7/Polara (They're the same pedal, but the Polara has Halo mode, RV7 has gated mode).
It has a nice reverse mode, it's cheaper, and the spring and hall mode kill the Cathedral's in my opinion. You'd have to compare them for your specific needs though.
But you'll definately want a fuzz/distortion. Look into Big Muffs, RATs, and the Boss HM-2. There's thousands of good choices.
A chorus pedal is nice if you want clean, lush sounds. The CE-2 is my favorite choice,but I got mine for free, so for the money, there are better choices.

I need some comfy depression feels
Nicholas Thomas
this might be the best shoegaze qt pic ever

Dude, Rachel was the biggest qt 3.14 in shoegaze. People always talk about Billinda, but she's not even close to Rachel, honestly
Evan Gomez

Blake Murphy

Ayden King

really digging this. feels like a downtempo moby song, but with shoegaze textures and female vocals.
Ian Lee
My personal pick for best "current shoegaze" band, granted the term I know is used in a really weird way when talking about current bands, but anyway:
youtube.com
First time I heard I didn't really like it at all, but listen to it and come back to it in a bit, you might really fucking dig it.

why would you write a shoegaze album if you haven't even listened to albums from that genre in the first place. If you want to do shoegaze, just listen to shoegaze first.
Juan Ward
borderline dreampop but what did you guys think of pic related? was my AOTY last year for sure.
Andrew Harris
How would you describe them? Carnival of Light and Tarantula were bland britpop-lite, but everything before that is shoegaze.
Ryder Barnes
Different user, but thanks for the tip.
Luke Sullivan
Generic indie rock
John James
my thoughts exactly. might change after I'll see them live with Slowdive idk idc.
Nathan Hall
I just pulled an all-nighter writing an essay and it's utter poo poo but I just want to pass the class anyway
music for this slightly depressing, tired, and apathetic feel?

>playing just 4 US tour dates, all in large east coast cities, but only in sub-800 capacity venues
What did they mean by this?
Christian Evans
the DC venue they're playing is literally a fucking synagogue lmao
Julian Phillips
it's because Slowdive are way better than Ride and always have been
Jackson Jackson
Ride fucking suck ass
Justin Garcia
Some nice early 90s alt rock/shoegaze with some goth and grunge influence
What does /shugazi/ think?
Lincoln Brooks
been listening to this a few times since it got posted, good stuff
Nathaniel Rogers
>>playing just 4 US tour dates, all in large east coast cities, but only in sub-800 capacity venues
I know they just did a US east coast tour a couple years ago, the venue they played near me holds 2000 people. Did anyone see them then?
Parker Long
I remember listening to Ferment and being blown away and then having it sound more and more annoying the more I listened to it.
Lincoln Foster
I tried listening to Ferment but I couldn't get it it, really liked this one though
Zachary Lopez
Step one: Listen to shoegaze.
Step two: Decide if you like the sound of existing shoegaze enough to want to emulate or draw influence from it.
Step three: Write an album in which you attempt to emulate or draw influence from existing shoegaze.
Step four: Listen to your album. Evaluate whether the result sounds like it fits under the same umbrella term as existing shoegaze. If yes, you made a shoegaze album. If no, hopefully you still made something interesting.
Genres exist as a guide to categorize what has already been done so that people can discuss and find new music easily. You should only set out to actively make an in-genre album if there's something specific in the sound of that genre that you're also trying to bring and even then your primary goal should be making quality music rather than checking genre boxes to "fit in."
Caleb Morgan
Slowdive is infinitely better than Ride but the new Ride songs are infinitely better than the new Slowdive song. If someone had told me it was a bedroom project trying to sound like Slowdive I would have believed it without any doubts.
Elijah Sanders
Yeah this I dunno what everyone is so hyped over Star Roving for. Shit sounds like an LSD And The Search For God b-side
Also their """""North American tour""""" is barely any better than Ride's. Fucking six dates and two are at the same venue. Great. Thanks guys. Glad all that waiting paid off
Justin Young
>NEITHER of them are touring the west coast
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Andrew Murphy
Looks to me like they're starting out with small tours to test the turnout though. Neither of their albums are even out yet.
Noah Bailey
Good shit, I hadn't heard Manic Sheep before.
Samuel Flores
THANK YOU!
Ryder Davis
>want noise pop similar to Sleigh Bells
>HeartsRevolution and You Love Her Coz She's Dead not doing it for me, no real bite or urgency to what they do
>Crystal Castles vaguely similar to what I want, but have listened their back catalog to death
Any other suggestions?
Poppiness and intensity of Sleigh Bells, aggression of Crystal Castles but with less bloop.
Does it exist?
Thomas Morgan
Mad props to whoever recommended Soundpool in the last thread, they have a very cool sound and I've been playing Mirrors In Your Eyes nonstop recently
James Robinson
Is the whole Japanese Shoegaze thing good or it's just a meme?
Grayson Collins
The thing I like best about shoegaze are big, crunching walls of sound.
Who is the most reputable Wall of Sound dealer outside the big 3?
Austin Wilson
thanks so much for this. i love so many of these albums, black ryder, jesus and mary chain, brian jonestown massacrelush, slowdive, m83, but never really realized the extent of this

Modern Japgaze > Modern Western Shoegaze
Henry Cruz
I hate weebs, but i have come to realize japs make great shoegaze
Robert Gray
This, they're pushing it forward or at least keeping it modern, unlike all western retro shit
Luis Peterson
What's that
Lincoln Richardson
If someone could make records now which sound as good as souvlaki or loveless then I'd be happy with retro, but it's all kinda wishy washy when really shoegaze is more about actual chunk with reverb to create that sort of eerie lingering effect where you can't tell which notes/instruments are bleeding into each other (well loveless at least); pushing the reverb so it sounds like a real instrument rather than using reverb to drown your mix in faux-atmosphere and using a basicbitch pop pattern with nothing much to back it up in the way of deep foliage-layered sound engineering.
Christopher Moore
No one has the money Kevin had I think's the problem, lol
Alexander Adams

Andrew Gonzalez
So differentiate post-rock and shoegaze for me please. Where does Mogwai fall. Also Alcest?
Jaxson Murphy
They're way different. Shoegaze is about piling fx pedals on top of each other to create an otherworldly sound with a guitar, generally in a poppy song structure, whereas post-rock is about making drawn out songs with unique progressions and often having things like math-rock time signatures and prog without all the pomp and complexity (because with swathes of reverb over everything (as post-rock sometimes does) it's difficult to fix all those rapidly changing elements that occur in prog (sometimes)). Mogwai is more post-rock than shoegaze and alcest is like metal post-rock and shoegaze in a nice french frost.
Jaxon Cook
What does /shugazi/ think of All I Wanna Do by the Beach Boys?? are there any covers of this that are even more shoegazy?
