posture Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Really, really digging alot of this. The Slowdive, Mazzy Star and Bardo Pond are my favourites so far. You guys have given me a lot of names to look into, and it's all top-notch. Jump on that Auburn Lull, seriously. It's the best music for late nights, when you are on the cusp of sleep.

Just bought these off Amazon for a grand total of like 30 bucks So Tonight That I Might See-- Mazzy Star The Blue Depths-- Odawas Seconds-- Seely Soulvaki-- Slowdive Talking Voice Vs Singing Voice--Starflyer 59 (found this by accident years back, decided to finally purchase it-- it's beautiful psych rock, check it out) Plan on buying some Sweet Trip and more Slowdive when I have more cash. That stuff is ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest illfly mandog Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 So Tonight That I Might See-- Mazzy Star This album came out when i was like five. My dad would play it to put me to sleep. Blue Light and Mary of Silence are my oldest musical memories, actually. This album never fails in calming me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) There was a thread like this a while back which had some good recommendations, although it might have been lost in the last WATMM overhaul. So in that case: Pale Saints Kitchens of Distinction Lush A.R. Kane Not sure if they were ever called 'shoegaze' at the time but I suppose they could fit in with a lot of that stuff. Also, why does noone ever mention the first Slowdive album? So Tonight That I Might See-- Mazzy Star This album came out when i was like five. My dad would play it to put me to sleep. Blue Light and Mary of Silence are my oldest musical memories, actually. This album never fails in calming me down. Thanks, you just made me feel ancient.

ghOsty Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Get Souvlaki by Slowdive. This and My Bloody Valentine are pretty much essential ^ Also get: Asobi Seksu - Citrus Amusement Parks On Fire - Out Of Angels Bardo Pond - Ticket Crystals and Batholith Caribou - Up In Flames Dawn Chorus Ignites - Glimmer EP Depreciation Guild - Spirit Youth Have A Nice Life - Deathconciousness The Zephyrs - When The Sky Comes Down It Comes Down On Your Head for more synth-gaze stuff M83, and Jatun are pretty consistent artists Edited July 31, 2010 by ghOsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 LSD and the Search for God Écailles de Lune is just beautiful, one of the best albums of 2010 I've been meaning to look into them... Someone was praising them up to me a few weeks ago. And seconding Écailles de Lune, I was blasting that album in my car yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atop Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 More Seely from 'Julie Only', poor rip but all I could find: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPIZkcnflDU Horrible recording of some friends of mine, Holy Wave. They just finished recording an album that I will be receiving soon and they fucking rule gazing amongst shoes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_430i6qzcE as mentioned before, Black Tambourine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25arcricAy4 Seconded is the Bedhead, "Liferaft" from their first record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLU2dW8GJ0o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghOsty Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Asobi Seksu's great stuff... I kinda hear what your saying about M83, I only really listen to them in small infrequent doses, but I do like the first 2 albums. I haven't looked into the newer stuff at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually listen to the first couple tracks, then shut it off.. idunno, the guitar/synthy thing they have going on is just really really irritating after a while.

Before The Dawn Heals Us is my favorite. I like Digital Shades Vol. 1 as well. As for shoegaze/nu gaze: Airiel - The winks and kisses EPs Astrobrite - Crush Once Dreamt - Drifting Bethany Curve The Daysleepers Also, go to last.fm and type in shoegaze in the radio player.

Guest igloos unlmtd Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 If you are really new to shoegaze, don't screw around with the minor bands right away. You need a healthy dose of the OG 90's stuff. A Storm In Heaven - THE VERVE (no one mentioned this?!, put it on & find a hot girl to make-out with) Souvlaki - SLOWDIVE Loveless - MBV Lazer Guided Melodies - SPIRITUALIZED Gala - LUSH Whirlpool - CHAPTERHOUSE Heaven or Las Vegas - COCTEAU TWINS There's tons more too, but this is a good starting list. Someone mentioned Astrobrite as being NuGaze - they are actually quite old. I would see them play all the time back in the day, when they had Odell on drums - I still have one of their cassettes, & a 7". This brings to mind Majesty Crush - Love15 is a beautiful album that almost made it big. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YtB4kxfQPs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI2xxuKfGME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW8_QWQeXn8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro4Pc6snJMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
