Does anybody know of any artists similar to Tokyo Shoegazer, MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS and NUMBER GIRL? I'm straight up hooked on this sound right now, particularly MotFD and to an extent Number Girl, though I know NG is a little more on the noise side of things. I just can't find anyone that nails it like these artists do. More into the heavier/noisier shoegaze and less so the pop stuff, but willing to give anything a go.

That Tokyo Shoegazer song is awesome, checking out the others. I've always figured Japan had some great shoegaze bands but never really checked out anything other than Luminous Orange.

Nice. They're on Spotify if you want to hear "Take Heart".

I love this album. It has that spacey, noisy feel most of us are looking for in this thread, but still sounds new and updated. I get vibes that remind me of Broadcast and My Morning Jacket, and I love it. The Broadcast vibes really come out on Oh Crust, but the whole album has a little of it here and there.

I like black metal but I don't think that bright, full sound really makes sense with lo-fi + BM vocals. I'd probably love it if the recording weren't so flat and muddy and they didn't scream. I'd say "more Enslaved, less Darkthrone" if that makes sense. Also I can't listen to the opening riff of that first song without thinking I'm listening to Agaetis Byrjun.

It's sooooo close to being awesome.

I don't find a lot of shoegaze especially memorable although I enjoy much of it when I'm listening to it if I'm in the right mood (high?). Is this an unpopular opinion, should I just stick to dream pop? :shobon: Also, The Radio Dept needs to release some new material already...

I agree with this somewhat. MBV's stuff and maybe a handful of tracks from random bands like Airiel and No Joy are the only tracks I find myself humming. It's hard to develop hooks in shoegaze, I think. That isn't to say that shoegaze hasn't influenced and made better psych rock, dream pop, and all that other wonderfully hummable stuff. There's just a lot of material out there that sounds a lot alike and I think it's perfectly rational to put it on random and zone out a bit.

Just find some curated playlists to follow on Spotify and put it on random. That's generally what I do. v:shobon:v
