They came through NE and the Mid-Atlantic a few months ago, in September I think.

There was a clear resurgence in the 2010's. I have a few albums from the naughties that fit the bill (Airiel, Stella Luna, The Meeting Places), but pretty much no one was doing shoegaze then.

e: also Depreciation Guild, Film School, and Fleeting Joys. I guess it was being done, per se, but probably didn't have many listeners.

some japanese shoegaze where she smashes an old television set

This rules. Love the sound. But as a retrogaming enthusiast, I hope those CRTs were irreparable before they smashed them. :gonk:

Unfortunately, the album it's from isn't on Bandcamp so if I wanted to buy it I'd have to import it from Japan.

Someone with a PhD in mbv will have to give a diagnosis if this can be called shoegaze, or if its just a bit too dream pop.

There's a lot of overlap between the two, in general. Hence why this thread combines them.

I don't have a PhD in mbv but I'd say it's more Dream Pop. But honestly, what matters more is how much you like it. For what it's worth, I watched all 4 of the music videos they have and they've got a cool thing going. I especially liked Pistachio Boy and Fall. Thanks for the recommendation.

Beavis & Butt-head would greatly approve of that video.

I also like the stark contrast between tranquil nature and wanton human destruction.

The song is kinda whatever, though, lol. Not really my thing.

I saw that they're playing DC with Airiel in June. Two of my favorite shoegaze bands in the same show. I need to find a way to attend.

e: also happy 10th(!?!) birthday to Nothing's Guilty of Everything.

feel like this band isn't strictly shoegaze/dreampop, but their debut album frequently has some gaze vibes in the guitars (check outro on this one), and it is a very good record

This reminds me a lot of True Widow. I dig it.

What do you all use for earplugs when you go to shows? I hate the disposable foam ones, so I'm thinking of buying some of the fancier silicones meant for concert-goers.

I bought my ticket for the Blushing / Airiel DC show in June, and I know that, historically, Airiel was known for being extremely loud. No idea about Blushing.

Etymotic ER20s have always worked well for me

These seem to have the most votes. Are the inner cups made of silicone? I couldn't find what they're made of on the Amazon page.


Oh yeah, I've seen this before. A couple years ago, maybe? It was on Vimeo or something like that. Definitely a cool piece of history.

This is cool.

Although that's not the first time I've seen anime used for a shoegaze music video:

Those guys are from my area (Washington DC).

New All Under Heaven coming July 7th. They're calling it a debut LP but it's only 8 tracks. I'll consider it a mini-album.

Anyway, song slaps
