Amusement Parks on Fire
Asobi Seksu

Autolux
Auburn Lull
Have A Nice Life
Pia Fraus
Skywave
Fleeting Joys (COMPLETE mbv-loveless ripoff but its good)
Air Formation
Mahogany

all of these bands have released stuff I've enjoyed...none of them match up to the classics of the genre, but there's plenty good stuff to merit checking some of them out, especially if you're into shoegaze.

Could Mercury Rev be considered shoegaze? I was listening to some of that at my local CD shop and it was in the same vein as some My Bloody Valentine.

something you shoegeezers will gape at in wonderment.

ahahahaa. yes *rubs hands together*
i resent being called a shoegeezer, sir
if you watch that video and just stare into space you will start making up your own shot-away shoegaze vocals. fun for all the family

i have to agree that asobi seksu are the best current shoegaze... especially live. swirling guitars are great.

also am seeing MBV in June... should be a treat.

only skimmed this thread but the best of the original shoegaze scene are:
Ride
MBV
Swervedrive
Slowdive
Lush
Catherine Wheel
(early) Verve
Chapterhouse

i'll go over one track and say

loveless

GravitySlips · 03-12-2008, 07:36 PM

Obviously, but a mix cd is more fun to make.

Loveless could potentially turn someone off this style forever, you know. I heard Loveless when I was 15 at a time when I had heard nothing remotely like it, and found it very hard to listen to. I think it can be hard to digest if you're not already a fan of music with noisy guitars. Some songs by bands like Slowdive or the Pale Saints would be more accessible introductions I think.

I may fill it with sublime shoegaze tracks and fire a Whitehouse song in the middle to f'uck her up for life
