heard it like 5 times already. I need something i haven't heard before
Stop now mate, it's better that way.
Check out their You Made me Realise and Glider EPs
>>66240480
this pretty much
you'll go through the shoegaze genre, each album more disappointing than the last, until you listen to Swirlies' Salons, at which point you will realize that there are two good shoegaze records, and these are them.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say listen to drudkh's first album. deafheaven are obviously the big blackgaze band but i think drudkh incorporate that influence in a more interesting and altogether complete way.

>at which point you will realize that there are two good shoegaze records, and these are them.
Pleb. There's tons of great shoegaze and music with shoegaze elements.
>>66240535
Nah Bowery Electric's Beat is still good.
>>66240575
No he's right
>>66240535
Boces is pretty good though
>>66240600
Really depends what you consider to be shoegaze
>>66240535
Citrus is good
>>66240535
I'm convinced this guy is right. After I listened to Slowdive and MBV, each more album I stumble upon seems worse and more forgettable.
Listen to guilt by Ringo Deathstarr buddy, closest thing (or next best thing) to them dude seriously

This sort of.
Listen to depression cherry by Beach House and Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
It's definitely no Loveless, but if you're a sucker for Dream/Noise Pop with a tinge of shoegaze try Pulling Our Weight EP by the Radio Dept and Lesser Matters
>>66240325
go backwards in time and learn about the origins of loveless' unique production style
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Spector
You know.
I've been listening to a lot of My Bloody Valentine lately.
I guess break ups are kinda funny that way. A couple of Scottish or
Irish or whatever people strung on some guitars in the 90s, and the
music they created is so perfect for this moment. Their lyrics are
considered kind of a joke to some, but to me their ambiguity belies
real depth and meaning that is so often lacking in today's popular
songs.
Their signature sound is a blending of classical rock guitars into an
epherial drone. Lightly organized noise which subtly changes to
suddenly become something completely different. It is listening to
evolution in action.
I think, right now, more than the mysterious lyrics and sober tone, I
am identifying most with this evolution. Many forces in my life are
leading me towards change.
My (former) girlfriend.
My changing sexuality.
My work ethic fighting against my desire to smoke more weed.
All of these forces are pulling me in different directions in life.
All want different changes to occur within me. I am in a period of
great stress and trauma, and the traumatic noise of My Bloody
Valentine has provided a much needed catharsis. At this moment, I am
terrified by the idea of evolution, and M B V is helping me understand
that evolution can create beauty.
^^something i wrote recently. lmk what you think!

WAH!
>>66240325
Lilys - In the Presence of Nothing
LSD and the Search for God
the beatles if you take mushrooms
>>66241575
>listened to literally two bands
Some would say you're expert of this genre. Will you teach me?
one of the greatest shoegaze albums desu
>>66240325
It would help if you could tell what other music from the period you dig or what exactly do you like about this album, but we'll try anyway
Obvious would be other My Bloody Valentine things though probably m b v is like an updated but weaker version, check Isn't Anything and EPs but the older the rawer, you may or may not like it. A good start with EPs would probably be Tremolo.
Really similar albums that I know of and are decent would be
Oeil - Urban Twilight - mostly sounds like poorman's Loveless but has its moments (Strawberry Cream is bliss)
Curve - Doppleganger - people like this I'm not a big fan
Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing - in a way it's like stretched Loveless
Luminous Orange - Drop You Vivid Colors
But I guess if I were you first I would listen to Slouvaki and Nowhere, maybe couple of Lush albums and figure out what I like and what I don't about the genre. Then I'd go in direction I like, perhaps listen to other bands from the period and newer stuff. Alongside the road you may find yourself not remembering when was the last time you listened to Loveless even if you still love it.
My favourites that are shoegaze or have elements of it (and may or may not be similar to mbv) besides already mentioned if you're interested:
(nothing obscure I'm too basic to nerd out about some never discovered and long forgotten Resplandor EP and claim it a 10/10)
The Twilight Sad
Flying Saucer Attack
Black Tambourine
Yo La Tengo
Starflyer 59
Jessica Bailiff
Grouper

>each more album I stumble upon seems worse and more forgettable
what part of this sentence haven't you read?
>>66240480
This, unfortunately.
Loveless is the pinnacle of guitar music
>>66243540
Sorry for being kinda incoherent, I'm a little drunk
LSD & The Search For God
>>66243540
>>66243644
These
>>66242521
The Beatles if you mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfm-fehAYx0
>>66243572
Sorry - I didn't read your sentence that carefully.
Tho I still believe you had either listened very little or be legit insane to claim that MBV and Slowdive are the only worthwhile shoegaze bands.
>>66240962
Man this album is something else
Profoundly beautiful, devastating, otherworldly, utterly haunting and world-destroyingly heavy all at once
>>66240325
This album is overrated as fuck anyway, who cares.
I don't even like Loveless at all but try this OP.
One thing I heard recently that gave the warm, dusty, surreal impression of Loveless was the UK bonus track from Citrus (Asobi Seksu), All Through the Day. It climbed right into me headspace like shoegaze hasn't very much past Loveless.
