WhiteHowler posted:Lush is hands-down my favorite band -- not just shoegaze/dreampop, but from any genre, ever. I'm 100% with you on Split. Don't get me wrong, I love Spooky, but Split is much better to me because of pretty much everything you posted. Also, it has The Invisible Man, which is probably the most outright haunting thing they ever did. That said, Split was also where they lost me. To this day I just can't sit through Lovelife at all. Lush was pretty much my gateway into shoegaze years ago, which has been a good and bad thing. Finding anything else that accomplishes everything they do is literally impossible, and the search for such was rather disappointing. I did find some other branches of the genre to like, though. precision posted:I don't think liking Split the most is a terribly controversial opinion. It's certainly their most polished and ambitious, and gave us their best "regular pop song": I'm going to pretend that link points to Blackout, since you say it goes to their best "regular pop song"

Ok, I'm into more "normal" shoegaze, although in an oddly limited way, but I'm looking for stuff there may not be a whole lot of. Basically those two Alcest albums where he threw in a bunch of metal and did growls and it was still somehow shoegaze? (Écailles de Lune, Les Voyages de L'Âme) Is there more stuff like that out there somewhere? e: gently caress, I killed the thread

Stravinsky posted:people who think there has not been any real gaze bands since the 90's C'mon, I don't think anyone really thinks that. I mean, the genre has changed, but it's kinda absurd to think nothing good has come of it in the last 10+ years.

I just can't get over how amazing the new Alcest is, despite having almost no metal elements whatsoever. It's such a drastic left turn from the last two albums but it's still great. Click this, it might really change your life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wxZ1DV9xO4

I feel like everything I look for in shoegaze has already been done and nothing else seems to recapture it for me. The Split album by Lush, Loveless by MBV, a couple of the better Alcest records and Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life. Is there anything else out there that will give me that feeling? Or did I just kinda explode the genre by listening to only the best of it? I listened to Lush and MBV in college, 20 years ago, then got into Alcest and HANL like maybe 5 years ago... so I've got a 15+ year gap in here. The only thing I can think of otherwise is that shinywhateverstuff from russia that I was listening to a week or so ago and it did get my interest - enough to make this post and ask for more.

WhiteHowler posted:Lush's Split is maybe my all-time favorite album, so at least for me it's hard to get to that high-water mark, but I've found other shoegaze stuff that appeals to me. Thanks, some pretty good stuff here. I'll have to do some more digging around on these.

I'm still sad that Lush got together, did one EP, and vanished again. They were always my favorite shoegaze band.

teethgrinder posted:On the chance anyone cares I snapped some Lush shots when they played here a year ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/markosaar/albums/72157672977112521 Awesome. Wish I'd have caught the tour. Hell, the last time I saw them live was when I was in high school. Miki was like, my big crush when I was 15 or so. And yeah, Phil just up and left so there had to be something wrong. Maybe he wasn't really into the whole idea at all. I don't know.

I don't know if it should go here or the indie rock thread really, but anyone know where I can find stuff like this, because it owns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wkluV2c9gY

ZorajitZorajit posted:Do you folks have any feelings to share about Silversun Pickups Widow's Weeds? I listened to it over the weekend and enjoyed it. I can hear Butch Vig's work, some of the tracks feel even more Smashing Pumpkins-y than previous SSPU albums. And I dig the pair of Neon Wound into It Doesn't Matter Why, it's anxious and high strung. It popped up a bit in the indie rock thread, but yeah I like it. It has a different feel to it than the previous stuff, but I said the same thing about Neck of the Woods when it came out and over time it became my favorite record of theirs. I loving love Songbirds, holy poo poo.

MBV is extremely hit or miss for me, but Only Shallow is a really loving good song.

Lush got less shoegazy with each record, their early stuff was still pretty noisy
