Despite being a fan of their last five albums for years, I somehow managed to not know until today that the Raveonettes had three entire records prior to LustLustLust and also that they're incredible. I have a really bad habit of just listening to bands and never bothering to find out who or what they are.

JULIAN ASSANGE posted:Hope this fits in here, because these guys are pretty much genreless. This is Pram I was pretty big into them awhile ago. Not really related to the stuff in this thread, but a drat good band. You probably already have, but if you haven't, listen to Dan Deacon. Bromst is reasonably similar to what they were trying to do as far as being literally "noise pop".

XMD 5a posted:Flying Saucer Attack gently caress yes. The early stuff especially fits into shoegaze/dream pop pretty handily, before Rachel Brook left and he got a bit more mechanical-sounding (though those albums are good too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bsRJDx5hM4 (cover of a Suede song) (Also, speaking of Dan Deacon, I just now saw he has a new-ish album, America, it's easily as good as Bromst.)

JULIAN ASSANGE posted:I'm so happy there are people who like early post-rock. It's such a different animal from what usually gets called post-rock I'm always scared to bring it up. Do you think it's got enough fuel for its own thread? I'd be really interested to see what other bands people pull out that sound like that stuff. Go for it, man. Original post-rock is, as you say, entirely different from later stuff. Well, actually, I guess Talk Talk's post-rock albums actually do have much in common with Mogwai et al, but stuff like Disco Inferno doesn't at all, so it's worth a thread. Especially since that style never actually went away - Tarentel, for example, started out sounding like GY!BE but then ended up, on We Move Through Weather and the EPs, sounding almost industrial and more in the DI vein.

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": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buz5D8OWmRc Personally I like Spooky best, but all their stuff is gold, even if Lovelife has a couple duds it also has their amazing collaboration with Jarvis Cocker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Jvo5_IrlI

The documentary on Creation Records, which obviously has a lot of stuff about/from Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, is on Netflix. It's called Upside Down. Trigger warning: Oasis were also on Creation, in case you forgot (I actually did). Also, Ringo Deathstarr is a fantastic band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46XU6PGvIP4 (kind of  )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubAxMOlJ524 (different song, work safe)

I think I'd even say that the reason I got into Slowdive was because they had really catchy songs. "40 Days" and "Alison" were the first songs of theirs that I heard, and you can't deny those are drat catchy. And yeah, JAMC were a straight up demented pop band.

Snowy posted:Is Spacemen 3 not considered shoegaze? Otherwise I don't understand how they aren't anywhere on that list. Personally I'd put them at the top along with MBV but I guess Amoeba calls them something else. No, they're usually considered "drone/psyche rock" or "noise" if anything. I've definitely never heard anyone call them "shoegaze" in the past... 20 some years I've been listening to them.

Snowy posted:Never? I'm not into splitting hairs with defining genres but I've definitely heard them described that way plenty of times over the years (sounds like we've been into them around the same time). Well, let's just say I can't remember ever hearing anyone call them shoegaze. It may have something to do with geographical location or the kinds of people your or I have hung out with. I'm not really a genre Nazi, but I don't think of them that way; they started out as kind of an update of Suicide and then got more psychedelic and dreamy as Jason did more heroin. I mean I wouldn't think of calling "So Hot", "Honey", "Bright Lights Big City", "Ode to Street Hassle", etc. shoegazey.  Everyone should listen to them though because they were the best.

Sgt. Politeness posted:Just saw Failure tonight. Never thought I'd get the chance. They certainly did not disappoint, just had to tell someone. I'm glad they're back together, I saw them in '95 as the last band of a 4-band showcase and they were not the best (they were still trying to sound like Nirvana at that point) but I liked them enough to remember their name and buy their later, better albums. For the record, the best band that night was Rust.

crikster posted:I never heard that before but I'll put it on my to get list. Amazing Letdowns is a timeless pop treasure so I'm interested in a full-length with that same style. The first Lilys album, some people think of as the follow up to Lovelss that never was. It's not as good, but it's the sound of big MBV worship and those guys proved themselves over the years to be very clever songwriters. Yeah, I love their shoegazy stuff. The 3 Way is basically "the best album Belle and Sebastian never made".

His Name Is Alive have often flirted with noise-pop and their new album, Tecuciztecatl, is definitely psyche-noise-pop. It's also a concept album about a woman being pregnant with twins, one good and one evil. It's really drat good, I'm more a fan of their earlier albums than the past few but this one is a return to the awesomeness of Stars On ESP.

I always thought Come sounded a bit like Curve. Also Silverfish and solo Ruby. edit: apparently there is a terrible newer band named Silverfish which is the only one on Spotify, that is not the band I am referring to. There are also like five artists named Ruby but the one I'm talking about is on Spotify if you search for her album "Salt Peter" you'll find the right one precision fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jan 5, 2015 |

Overwined posted:I also love the new Slowdive. It's definitely a departure from Shoegaze while still being Shoegaze-adjacent in a very pleasurable way. It's really wild that their last album was over 20 years ago and they somehow sound this good. Well, to me what's more surprising is that it's good after all of Halstead's stuff after the first Mojave 3 album was really really bad. That AOR solo stuff he did, especially.
