FStop7 · Dec 18, 2015

Is the Jesus and Mary Chain considered shoegaze?

If so, then "Snakedriver" from The Crow's soundtrack.

teruterubozu · Dec 19, 2015

Shoegaze fans should definitely check out the new album Cranekiss from Tamaryn.

Nachtmaer · Dec 19, 2015

I know barely anything about the genre and I don't even know if these guys are straight up shoegaze, but every once in a while I dig up this album.

LSD and the Search for God - Starting Over

hobblygobbly · Dec 19, 2015

Do subgenres like blackgaze count? Since many of shoegaze songs I like have already been posted I think I'll go into its subgenre. Granted, if you like shoegaze you may not like blackgaze since blackgaze is an infusion of styles of black metal and shoegaze. I am not a fan of all styles of black metal (especially that crazy ass right-wing skinhead shit) but only a few, but I do like this infusion.

Les Discrets - L'échappée
Alcest - Autre Temps
Amesoeurs - Faiblesse Des Sens (Amesoeurs was formed by Neige who then later went to form Alcest)
Amesoeurs - Heurt
Wolves In The Throne Room - Face In A Night Time Mirror Part 1
Alcest - Sur L'Océan Couleur De Fer

I am not a huge fan of lyrics in general (huge post-rock, instrumental and ambient/downtempo fan which traditionally doesn't have it), and shoegaze/blackgaze is one of my other favourite genres where I do like the style of lyrics/distortion.

Dangerblade · Dec 19, 2015

Welcomed by me! Used to love Amesoeurs. Been digging the gazey elements of Deafheaven this year too.

Steamlord · Dec 19, 2015

I'll try to avoid posting bands that have already been posted, since my favorites from e.g. MBV and Slowdive have already been thoroughly covered (great taste, everyone!).

Swirlies - Pancake
Black Tambourine - For Ex-Lovers Only
Drop Nineteens - Kick the Tragedy
Sweet Trip - Chocolate Matter
Lilys - Snowblinder
Candy Claws - Into the Deep Time (One Sun)
Medicine - Aruca

And a ton of others.

Vincent Grayson · Dec 19, 2015

Absolutely my favorite shoegaze track ever: Love Spirals Downwards - Subsequently (Live)

Zophar · Dec 19, 2015

Gonna give a shout to The Telescopes - Flying for its pocket symphony qualities.

Also loving A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Crushin'. Played this nearly every day I was living in China.

TheChewyWaffles · Dec 19, 2015

Anything by Hammock

Sobriquet · Dec 19, 2015

Lots of Slowdive but no When the Sun Hits?

Souvlaki is perfect so it's hard to single any one song out. The fade out of WtSH is probably my favourite of any song.

Modest Mauser · Dec 19, 2015

Most of my favorite tracks have been posted already. But shoegaze is like the best genre ever so I just wanted to post.

I'm amazed. The bit where the sound kicks in a minute in is aural bliss.

injurai · Dec 19, 2015

Mazzy Star - Mary of Silence

kris. · Dec 19, 2015

I'm not a huge shoegaze fan but Title Fight's newest album is pretty cool and Head in the Ceiling Fan is amazing.

I love this thread so much.

teruterubozu · Dec 19, 2015

Love Hammock, but I consider them ambient.

Shaffield · Dec 19, 2015

Pinkshinyultrablast - "Ravestar Supreme"

Whirr - "Leave"

I was going to link some tracks by Loop but they're not really shoegaze as such.

Anyway, trawling youtube last night listening to the links lead me to Beta Band who i love yet haven't listened to for a few years. Thanks everyone for the nostalgia trip! Great thread.

Definitely. Sellout shoegaze but shoegaze nonetheless. Doppelgänger is a really great record and they don't get the love they deserve.
