As long as we don't degenerate into shoegaze vs. nu-gaze vs. gaze-core sub-threads, all will be well.

I'm digging Thousand Yard Stare, thank you!

Love Spirals Downwards




Tearwave




Autumn's Grey Solace



That's all I can think of right now. Killer thread.

I'm a fan of LSD, especially the Flux album

Tearwave sounds interesting, will have to check them out more in depth.

I was wondering if/when the dream pop would commence...


To this day, one of the best songs I have ever heard:


Peruvian shoegaze/dream pop, reminiscent of Slowdive:

This band is brill, they've been inactive for years but hopefully are bringing something new out in the not too distant.
