hm haven't seen that one before
is it pronounced shoo-gahzi?
>>60229348
like jewgazi
At what age did you realize that Souvlaki was better than loveless? 19 here.
60229348
I actually had a friend who thought this.
>>60229581
I don't remember what age I was but I listened to Souvlaki first and by the time I got around to Loveless had no doubt that it was superior.
Ride are fucking shit
i like the KVB, especially their albums always then and out of body ep. Are there any bands like them?
>>60229348
I say shug (like sugar)-aa-zee
>>60230154
Belong's Common Era is kind of like that.

stumbled upon this album in a sharethread a few weeks ago and got around to listening this, it's great.
anyone know where to go after this? any other Lilys albums that are worth getting?
>>60233680
The second one
>>60232159
Nah m8, even Pains of being pure at heart is better than Ride
I need some heavy /gloom/-gaze
Planning For Burial and Ambersmoke are obvious ones, but I've also checked out Iroha and Suffering Astrid and wasn't too impressed.
Just some slow, grim stuff.
>>60229731
Agreed

Hey /shugazi/ I’m bored so I listened to this song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alFvWDptUN4 [Open] ) like three times before deciding to write my thoughts on it.
So first off, there’s this intro that has these really gentle, almost ambient noises during the first few seconds before the vocals come in. And it actually take over 30 seconds before we hear the vocals come it so by that time I was feeling like the track has established this really subtle and subdued atmosphere. Then the vocals start in alone and there’s this really crystal-clear quality to it. I don’t know how else to explain it but fuckit the weird clarity in the vocals really helps add to the sunny mood all over this album. So when the rest of the instruments just go in all at once it totally breaks this mood and turns into this dance-shoegaze track for the rest of the song. And the guitar arrangements are great, the textures are shifting, and that coupled with the vocals is a serenely chaotic backdrop for a dance track. There are also bits where the vocals are reversed all throughout the song, and that shit gives this thing a whole really great psychedelic quality to it. Too bad it’s pretty much that same drum + guitar + vocal loop for like 6 minutes, with no other distinct sections to it. It doesn’t even end. It just stops, so what the fuck? Whatever. It’s pleasant anyway, but it’s still just a 6 minute loop.

>>60229581
holy fuck this album is shit have you actually listened to the lyrics holy fuck this is like some 14 year old edge master shit. At least the emo ass balls fuck lyrics in loveless are inaudible

Hello brit-pop fag :^)
>>60239039
>have you actually listened to the lyrics

>>60239039
This actually got me thinking. Why do people listen to emo when shoegaze exists? It's like emo v2.0
>>60241534
What how
Couldn't find any link for new Xinlisupreme, so I just decided to take one for the team and buy it on bandcamp to upload for you /shugazians/. Here you go:

Only that Weighing Souls With Sand album, not sure if the other material is my thing though. I don't know Fleeting Joys so I'll check them out, thanks!
>>60248773
Sounds like some of the best Loveless-worship bands I've heard in a long long time. That outro section near the end kind of brings to mind some japanese stuff as well. Great share.

Does anyone have the Kugatsuhascome EP that Satou put out before Kinoko Teikoku got started up?
Why did you make this thread? It hasnothing to fo with music.
Can someone help me find a band I read about on here? They had a bandcamp, their band name had a man's name in it, like "Something something john smith." I know that's a terrible description but I lost the link. Their bandcamp had the entire album up for listening.

What should I do?

Thanks for your contribution to this thread. I found your post to be very enlightening, and thought provoking. If only we could have more great users like you on this board, i swear /mu/ would be so much better.
What's the best dream pop ever that isn't Cocteau Twins?
>>60267461
you okay anon?
>>60267482
Mew imo
>>60254998
Pygmalion can't really be compared to the rest. It's hardly shoegaze.
>>60267710
It's also the only truly good album they made.

oh btw, if you want to listen to some god tier blackgaze that was made almost 20 years before memeheaven listen to Ulver. their albums Bergtatt and Nattens madrigal are pretty awesome. Also early Burzum is pretty blackgaze too.
>>60245945
Thank you! I've been thinking the same thing like forever
>>60261620
Pale Saints - In Ribbons. Better than almost every one of those even.

If there was a 4th majorly critically acclaimed shoegaze album as much as souvlaki, nowhere and loveless what would it be?
I'd say methodrone
>>60280977

you mean susurrate
>>60280977

Official album I think mate
>>60281160
So this is their first one since like 2002?
>>60281137
no pigment is their ep. its amazing every track is great also great cover
>>60281393
I was just being a dick and saying that Susurrate is better than Pigment lol
>>60280819
It's too heavily influenced by MBV and Slowdive.
>>60281357

>>60280977
Chapterhouse- Whirlpool
Is there a reason The Stone Roses are never mentioned in shoegaze discussion? I know they're madchester but they're really shoegazey.
>>60281851
They're about as shoegaze as Blur desu
>>60279548
If space to record is an issue you can find some pretty decent distortion and effect pedal plugins for Audacity, should easy to find large lists of them on google. I haven't found a great reverb option for it (I use Acoustica Beatcraft's reverb for everything, it's a drum machine but has some nice features for general production and the sound is just so lush and lovely) but aside from that it's an excellent way to quickly turn your guitar into a controlled explosion on the cheap and without disturbing the neighbors.
If not then just do what >>60279580 said, that's honestly it. Maybe add some chorus or other effects as desired but reverb + loud as fuck usually gets you where you need to go.
>>60281779
*first album since 2005
as far as I know it's new music.
>>60281851
>>60281864
The only thing close to it is I Want To Be Adored, which sounds like Dream Pop.

Thoughts on the new Sunny Day in Glasgow? I'm on track 3, digging it so far but its so different from Sea When Absent that I'm a little taken aback

>>60298180
Are we all in agreement that Kinoko Teikoku are the best band?

"no"
>>60289355
Caffeine, nicotine and high fructose corn syrup.

ecstasy and/or wine

Those are literally the opposite of shoegaze drugs.

Well now, judging by the two videos they(boko Teikoku) uploaded they are going strictly pop.
>>60309288

>>60309288
what's their youtube channel
>>60309378
KinokoTeikokuVEVO
>>60309288
>they are going strictly pop
I wonder if signing to a major label put any pressure on their songwriting process to try and work for more mainstream appeal
That being said, there was a song off Long Goodbye that was on their first demo, so they might have always had a penchant for straight J-pop and now they'd just incidentally rather do that instead
>>60310114
>>60309288
I thought the same when both Fake World Wonderland and the Sakura ga Saku Mae Ni EP came out. Kinoko Teikoku seems to put their more shoegazey sounds in the back of their releases (in this case Donut, Virgin Suicide or You Outside My Window) but never really push them into public view the same way easier pop stuff like Tokyo or Chrono Stasis enjoyed.
It does feel like Universal's got a chokehold on them.
>>60299028
Not anymore desu. I'm actually really worried about this release.
>>60310670
Now that Tokyo Shoegazer's done and Kinoko Teikoku's gone full pop, who'll take over the new crown of Japanese shoegaze?
What are some tracks or albums similar to Whirr - Meaningless?
Any dream pop version of this?
>>60310876
Boris, or maybe My Dead Girlfriend.
>>60312378
Boris aren't really shoegaze though
If Shojoskip decides to put something new out or Oeil goes back to their sound on Urban Twilight then either of them could be a potential candidate but until then I think it's safe to say my dead girlfriend are the next to take the spot
