Totally unheard of band, but I know the guitarist so That's how i got into them. They've really matured over the years and are still putting out cool shit. This one of their older releases. Like 2007 I think.

>>61572536
Really? Chris (the guitarist) is a very old friend of mine. I didn't know people knew about them. My black metal band used to open up for Airs around SF back in 2012-2013
>>61572577
what is your band anon
ever heard of downstaaiirs?
>>61572536
>>61572577
This is one of our old flyers.
>>61572594
I'm actually quite embarrassed of my old black metal band. We played well live but all of our demos sounded like ass.

that's literally the only good shoegaze album
>>61572723
Yeah, those were the days. I gave up music to focus on film making and then I joined the military... I did end up making a documentary about the local music scene and Chris from Airs played a vital role. He loaned me some footage he took from different shows. He's credited as a camera operator in the movie.

His interview is also spread throughout it several times.

I actually don't know how I feel about Memoryhouse, they have literally so much potential but every song I've heard is just unoriginal and, I don't know, bland? I mean don't get me wrong I still like a good handful of their songs but yea
>>61572742
don't listen to this underage memester
There are many great shoegaze albums (and many that dwell on the edge of the genre) such as:
Drop Nineteens - Delaware
Drop Nineteens - Mayfield
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Slowdive - Pygmalion
Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa - Sussurate
Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing
Swirlies - Blondertongueaudiobaton
Swirlies - They Spent Their Wild Youth..
Bailter Space - Robot World
Bailter Space - Wammo
Swervedriver - Raise
Chapterhouse - Whirlpool
Loop - A Gilded Eternity
Sandpit - On Second Thought
Love Of Diagrams - Nowhere Forever
Zond - IO
Weed - Deserve
Day Ravies - Tussle
>>61572804
I get what you mean. It's like you want to like them but they gotta do something new to zazz it up.
>>61572822
Additionally
Duster - Stratosphere
Duster - Contemporary Movement
The Jean Paul Sartre Experience - Bleeding Star
Bowery Electric - Beat
Bowery Electric - S/T
Flying Saucer Attack - S/T
Barnard's Star - S/T
The Ropers - All The Time
Velocity Girl - Copacetic
Black Tambourine - S/T
Probably this. Really sparse and very ambient but very dark and gloomy. Not hard to imagine yourself walking through an urban wasteland to this.
can someone share the link to lsd's new album?
>>61572822
>>61572851
Solid list, I would add:
Lovesliescrushing - Bloweyelashwish
Pia Fraus - in Solarium
Kairon; IRSE! - Ujubasajuba
Grooms - Infinity Caller
Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time
Starflyer 59 - Gold
True Widow - As High As The Highest Heavens
Deerhunter - Microcastle
J Francis to adore is pretty jangly but it's subdued too. It's on bandcamp I think pay what you want.
This is very atmospheric, very noisy and packs the feels with the amazing composition.
>>61572822
>Love of Diagrams
>Zond
>Day Ravies
Definite ausfag.

The only shoegaze / ambient album that's on Loveless's level.
Any blackgaze recommendations? Been through most of the /mu/ charts floating around and only found I liked Deafheaven and Botanist.
Seriously everyone needs to listen to pic related
>>61573787
You didn't like Alcest?
>>61573833
From what I heard, lacked aggression. Unless I completely missed it.
>>61573565
Great album.
I highly recommend fans of shoegaze to check out everything Roy Montgomery has been involved with
>>61573387
thanks man. this is a pretty terrible rip i kinda wish i waited now
This and Split are one of my fav shoegaze albums
>>61573866
>lacked aggression
I don't think that's their main aim
>>61574923
That's the appeal of blackgaze for me though. The artistry and ambience of shoegaze with the distortion and aggression of black metal.
New Bermuda is near flawless because of this.
alcest - souvenirs d'un autre monde
>>61574995
I think they've got a certain post-rock esque cathartic quality about them. They are fucking loud too - or at least they were when I saw them live
>>61575051
Deafheaven?
I saw them live on Halloween and it was easily the best concert I've ever been to. Played so loud they blew an amp head. Loved it.
>>61575112
I'm talking about Alcest but I'm going to see Deafheaven in March
>>61572742
this, well there are a lot of "good" shoegaze albums, but Loveless is definitely the only one that comes even close to being a masterpiece
>>61575142
I'll give Alcest another try then, I like a post rock edge ever since hearing Sannhet's Revisionist. Any album in particular?
Also, seeing Deafheaven again at the end of January, couldn't give a shit about Lamb of God.
>>61572266
Ever since I heard Loveless I've been trying to find an album that sounds just like it. Most other shoegaze bands fail to acheive the particular kind of Loveless sound. pic related and Lily's first album are the only albums I've found that come close.
And no, I don't think Lovesliescrushing and Astrobrite sound like Loveless. I mean, yes they do kind of sound like Loveless, but not *just like* it. So don't bother recommending them.

doom/drone/shoegaze. pretty diverse discography.
one of my favorite artists.
>>61575200
I'd say either Souvenirs or Ecailles de lune
have fun, guy
>>61572822
>>61572851
>>61572927
this is a great list.
>>61575182
I guess I kind of agree with this statement, although it's mainly that a lot of shoegaze seems like it's just trying to be another loveless or just trying to fit into the genre that is shoegaze or something, so they sound uninspired, bland or messy (in a less artistic way, like how garden of delete is messy as hell but it still sounds great due to whatever it is that makes it great, I don't know how to describe it, I guess it just feels like everything is where it should be) in comparison to something less messy xilinsupremes album the first train, which, although I enjoyed a bit it kind of just felt boring, overly messy, or something. there was just something bland about it.
