Shoegaze is much more broad than most people think.

Love the pic-related - on related note, the Veldt is pretty underrated
Favorite album, while not strictly shoegaze, has to be 3 out change - one of the few albums I actually own
Dunno about any shoegaze albums this year -any recs?
This is my favorite album of all time I like it as much as I hate myself.
>>51906600
There was The Unnatural World and Birds by Ceremony. Both were pretty solid.
>Shoegaze is much more broad than most people think.
Prove it.
>>51906721
the Veldt - Afrodisiac
Also, whatever happened to shoegaze/dreampop december?
Wanted to find some more jams
Not AOTY but I dug Beyond Clueless OST by Summer Camp a lot.
>>51906721
Have you listened to 4 Bombs by Xinlisupreme?
>>51906721
Spiritualized

Angelic Process
Asobi Seksu
Planning For Burial

>>51906768
That was "meh", and not as broad as I expected.
>>51906860
>Virgin Babylon Records
This should be good.
>>51907047
Can albums be broad on their own?
I mean, the Veldt doesn't sound much like most people's idea of shoegaze.
>>51907098
I expected it to be broad when compared to Shoegaze in general. It sounded very average.
Sweet Trip is something I would actually call broad.
Top Shoegaze Albums 2014:
Ceremony - Birds
barlow* - Four Castles
Miserable - Halloween Dream
Braxton the Porcupine - Too Many Pineapples

Manon meurt - s/t
Camera Shy - Jack-O-Lantern
White Lighters - As Far As You Can As Fast As You Can
Snowbird - Moon
きのこ帝国 - フェイクワールドワンダーランド
Nevermind Me - Winter
Bulldog Skin - Oh Jacob, How Goodly Are Your Daughters
Invisible Days - s/t

Oh yeah, but the idea is that both bands talk under shoegaze and sound nothing alike. Are you into The Goslings at all?
Everyone post your favorite shoegaze song from this decade.

But the first one sounds a little bit generic, if you ask me, and if you compare Shoegaze to other genres, like Post-Punk, Progressive Rock, or even Noise Rock, you will see it's not really broad (speaking from my experience).
I'm not too much into Shoegaze, so I haven't heard them, but I will try to check out the ones posted ITT.

oops like half of these are dream pop
I'm not a fan of Alcest. The uplifting thing always sounds corny.

You have bands that mix shoegaze with grunge, dubstep, noise, drone, black metal, electronic, krautrock, metal, post-rock, dubstep and brostep, emo, punk, experimental, space rock, goth, post-punk, industrial, folk, neo-psychadelia, etc. It's as diverse as other genres, if not more diverse actually.
>>51908153
>Progrressive Rock
Post-Hardcore, Punk, Noise, Harsh Noise, every metal genre, free improvisation, contemporary classical, tribal music, electronic, ambient, post-rock, math rock, space rock, post-punk, industrial, folk, pop, orchestral

Forgot to add
I'm interested in hearing some Punk and Krautrock Shoegaze
>>51907263
tough question but prolly this:

>きのこ帝国 - フェイクワールドワンダーランド
Fuck yeah. Best shoegaze band I've discovered all year. Though Eureka is their best album for me. きのこ帝国 is a great EP as well, and Whirlpool might be one of my favorite shoegaze songs.
>>51908249
>Punkgaze
Ceremony, Die! Die! Die!, I find Husker Du noisy as fuck, almost shoegazish, The Telescopes.
>Krautgaze
Toy, The Horrors, Deerhunter (Cryptogramms)

At most, shoegaze mixes with black metal, ambient and electronica, not counting the oddball release. You're thinking that everything with a lot of distortion is shoegaze, which is not true
can someone recommend me some sad emo-ish shoegaze?
>Favorite Shoegaze albums?
"Glissceule" by lovesliescrushing is probably my overall favorite shoegaze album. The inclinations towards ambient music, segueing, sprinkles of glitch, and subtle details give it a lot of register value for me.
>Shoegaze AOTYs?
"The Unnatural World" I suppose. Haven't been paying much attention to shoegaze this year.
>Underrated/Overrated Albums or Bands?
I don't know about underrated, but I really don't care much Psychocandy, much to my own disappointment. I was anticipating a really great noise pop/proto-shoegaze album, but it just felt like a really drab post-punk record to me. Idk.

thanks bro
Is there such a thing as jazzy shoegaze?
>tfw I could call up Danny Chavis of The Veldt/Apollo Heights and have a conversation with him

is there any like transcendental shoegaze albums?
sounds like it'd be great

Stereolab for krautrock influences
>>51906497
My favorite is Souvlaki.
I actually came to /mu/ today, after a long absence, looking for shoegaze/dreampop recs. I haven't listened to many recent releases.
MBV is way overrated (come at me).
So... about those recs. I haven't heard of most of >>51907132 this list. If I have a strong preference for high register female vocalists, what should I snatch from it?
