Just thought I would reiterate my newfound love for Thousand Yard Stare, especially that Hands On album

Anyone have some recommendations for a Black/Shoegaze n00b?

The aforementioned Alcest, also Agalloch and Amesoeurs. And they're not exactly black metal, but also check out The Angelic Process.

In bands not starting with A, Lantlos and Drudkh might suit you. Take a look at metalreview.com for bands tagged with "atmospheric."

Any fans here of the Cocteau Twins? Not sure if shoegaze, but pretty damn close. Amazing band!

 

[Holy Katana]

Hammock aren't exactly shoegaze (they're more post-rock, leaning heavily on the ambient), but they're a local band, and more people should listen to them.

They're dream pop, which is basically shoegaze's first cousin. Actually, probably even closer than that.

 

[Blood Ghost]

Massive.

Oh... my.... ah-god



I love this.

 

[AdamMaz]

Very young band from Chicago. Recently released their debut ep.

 

[CyborgSlunk]

And people are compaining that djent is being called a genre...

 

[Necrocous]

I'm really into these guys, fairly new band from Boston, Junius.

 

[AdamMaz]

Having a shoegaze day and decided to check this thread out. Love that Amusement Parks on Fire track, will be looking into them

Was curious if there were any bands that played this style using extended range guitars??



This four song EP came out a couple of months ago and is not only the best best project I have heard this year, but ranks amongst the cream of shoegaze IMO.

I absolutely love this stuff.. the golden age of music for me. Saw Ride, Lush, Swervedriver, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, etc in the early to mid 90s. and finally got to see MBV in Richmond in 2009 (?). The music of all these bands still sounds fresh and inventive to this day. Cocteau Twins are amazing too.. Heaven Or Las Vegas is top 50 record for sure.

Forgot Loop.. great band. And if Jesu is considered shoegaze stands to reason why I dig them (that and Godflesh rule).

 

[Watty]

Junius

Yep, I've been digging them lately as well.

 

[Brodessa]

Got the band "The Radio Dept." from that video. I THINK they're shoegaze. Not really sure, sweet video, sweet skating, sweet song. <3

 

[Gram negative]

This was my favorite album for quite a while. Pretty amazing stuff. True Widow's newer stuff is great too.





so more stuff.....



more dreampop, but awesome nonetheless:
