Apparently I bookmarked this thread some time ago with the intention of reading/contributing, but then it fell off my pages until this bump ha.

Gone through it all ... huge fan of Floodland, early (and late) Cure, Birthday Massacre, Austra, etc.

A couple favourites I haven't seen mentioned --

Ashbury Heights is synthpop-tinged, but lyrically goth as bats.

The first and third albums, Three Cheers for the Newlydeads, and The Looking Glass society have a gothier sound. The second album, Take Cair Paramour, is super glassy happy-sounding synthpop, but still has songs like this:

I love the disparity with the lyrics.

The band had major record-label and personnel issues, but it's all resolved and they're steadily making music again.

Din [a] Tod unfortunately around anymore. Kind of like sulky synth punk?

But they have 'nice' tracks like this too:

Of course there's the whole electro-industrial thing too which is usually veering into goth territory.

Austra was posted before, and I recently discovered this song too. Worthy of a listen, I think.
She's awesome. Familiar with Trust?

I picked a bit more gothier song but the two albums are so loving solid. The first one even has a member of Austra on it.

Loving the Double Echo album. The YouTube link is dead but Bandcamp is even better.
