there's a lot of 90s alt rock bands that vaguely sounded shoegaze at points since that sound was in the air. ride was one of those bands, and for some reason, have been memed into being called a shoegaze band despite having only one britpop album that sounds vaguely shoegaze

Very nice recommendation would have loved to have this album in losless quality unfortunately it's not on RED or orpheus; found it on soulseek but not losless. might have to source a cd

There are three types of Shoegaze.
1. Actual Shoegaze
coming purely from UK bands. Ride, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, Catherine Wheel etc. lots of reverb, chorus, goth and baggy influence and not too far from Britpop and Oasis.
2. My Bloody Valentine
very influential to the other two types but they rejected being shoegaze. for one they have all the american influence that sets them apart but they also rejected the british reverb/chorus/flanger driven rock that seemed to soft to them.
sauce: https://youtu.be/MdhGlxl4tAs?si=h1aQBXzdOJYU71tz
3. Heavy/fuzzy Shoegaze
all of them are ultimately ripping of Smashing Pumpkins. typical slowdive and ride fans hate this type and claim it's not shoegaze. deftones, calm, narrow head, starflyer 59, trauma ray, hum and arguably yeule belong here.

>>129447956

I don't understand this, minerva is the only deftones song that sounds vaguely like that sound, there are some other dream pop sounding songs here and there but I'd call their music post metal at most

'gazers how do you feel about TikTok and zoomers memeing this genre?

>>129496296
I think it's awesome honestly, it's given new life to a genre that was seemingly on its way out.
Emerging bands that started blending styles like emo, stoner rock, metal, psychedelic rock, etc with it have been a byproduct of it and have kept things from growing stale which has been an issue in the past. Can only take so many Daysleepers clones before I check out.

I second the other anon's recs, but I'd go as far as to say Wong Kar-Wai's entire filmography, especially Fallen Angles and In the Mood for Love.
Also some other Asian films like A Long Day's Journey Into the Night and Goodbye, Dragon Inn (this second one is if you like really slow paced stuff).

You mentioned Lost in Translation, but you should also check out Sofia Coppola's other films like Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette (I didn't really like that one but it's very atmospheric nonetheless)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I'm Thinking of Ending Things also come to mind as dreamlike.

Some other films that captured a similar dreamy feeling for me were Tarkovsky's Stalker and Solaris, mostly because of the slow pacing.

Some anime also has that surreal atmosphere, Angel's Egg and Perfect Blue would be my recs here.

From older films I'd recommend Last Year at Marienbad, it's b&w but still gets the atmosphere right.

From newer releases I think Aftersun might fit.

I don't associate David Lynch with shoegaze much since I find his work more nightmarish than dreamy, though he's still one of my favorite directors.
If you like twin peaks you should definitely check out his films if you haven't.
Mulholland Drive is the first one that comes to mind and definitely check out Eraserhead, but my favorite is Indland Empire.

I have more recommendations but this is what most narrowly fits imo.

>>129516525
>Aftersun
great mention, blends memory and reality in a way that isn't too heady but is really charming and realistic, one of my favorite films of recent times and definitely a summer shoegaze kind of vibe. great post in general, will be checking the few i don't know

>>129516525

>>129517118
Btw do not watch the youtube version, they replaced some of the music. original had asobi seksu, sigur ros etc

>>129487594
>We are less than a decade away from a Deftones album replacing Nowhere in the Big 3
bait used to be believable

Finally listening to Full Body 2. It's like if TAGABOW was good

i feel like I'm going insane with how popular Soft Cult is they're so fucking boring I don't know what it is that makes them stand out over bands like Summer of Hate, Blanket or Tijuana Taxi that are actually doing something interesting and different

>>129518248
Keep clinging to your britpop album I guess, the rest of the scene is leaving it behind

>>129488423

shoegaze is not a fucking genre

like british rock went through a general phase influenced by 60s psychedelia culminating in britpop but to call it a genre is silly

like all the bands you mention and people like lush are all so different its not rworth calling it a genre

Seagull
Kaleidoscope
Polar Bear
Sennen
In a Different Place

Vapour Trail
Paralysed
Dreams Burn Down
Today

this is the most annoying cliche shoegaze take of the bunch

lol umm cliche because its a truth that has to be repeated to death to educate.retards like yourselves

>>129522219
also you then hafta ask why like pretty much all these shoegaze bands they dont kniw wtf you talking about when you say shoegaze. like they reject it. and none of em sounds that much a like. all the bands literallt have as much in common with like the stone roses or happy mondays as they do wiv each other

its insane

>>129521435
Lush belong in the first category. But yeah the American line went in a totally different direction. Grunge is much worse at being a genre though

to my knowledge BBz did the whole DnB shoegaze thing (wonder 2 did it first ofc) on night and blur 5 years ago and now every zoomergazer is trying to ride either that wave or trying to mix in trip hop somehow to be different. its all so tiresome.

Sigh is my fav song off that album though.

They sound pretty cool to me, what are you a baby killer?

Hot takes: if Smashing Pumpkins broke up after Gish they would be considered Shoegaze.

Unpopular opinions: Slowdive’s albums have gotten progressively better as they have moved through time (Slowdive 2017 > Souvlaki).

>>129524684
Gish is more Goth influenced while Siamese Dream has strong Loveless influence (and the same engineer on purpose). I think only Mayonaise can really be considered Shoegaze but the Pumpkins totally invented the style of hum, Deftones and all those clones in modern shoegaze.

>>129524684

That is a surprisingly popular opinion however it is a wrong one. Very forgettable album I've only listened to maybe 4 or 5 times and outside of Star Roving it feels exceptionally boring.

Zoomers are literally the wordt thing to happen to shoegaze. At least theyve seemed to slowly start moving onto ruining skramz and post-hardcore so i can have my genre back.

>>129534330
If you have it or if it's worsened?
Just put some ear plugs in your ears and you should be able to hear it. A very quiet room works too. I've no idea how to check if it's objectively louder. Simply thinking about it makes mine louder. I haven't had mine 2 months yet and I'm still wanting to kill myself. I went out shooting (first time) with family friends and no one brought up ear protection. I can tell my hearing is fucked, but the doctor said it looks "normal" on an audiogram. Kill me.

Actually pretty phenomenal. Maybe a bit too long for what it is, but good to see new shoegaze go in this direction.
Super dense, massive, aggressive. Reminds me of Sadness in a few ways, but nails it's own style down. The album cover drew me in, and honestly gives the entire experience a really unique feeling

Nothing’s latest album > Whirr’s latest album. Love Whirr, but Raw Blue did not deserve the hype around it outside of being a comeback, and the mix was so ahh.

>>129542405
It was good, but didn’t really standout from being different to me necessarily. More of the same that’s solid

>>129546000
Idk man, I’m gonna have to sit with it a bit more. Upon first listen I thought it was their weakest album, sadly. A few good songs on here, but there are way too many ballads, the album feels way too long despite only being 41 minutes.

>>129546338
this. Still a great debut though

>>129519070
>It's like if TAGABOW was good
TAGABOW *was* good… still are, too.
DESTINY XL and LUCKY STYLES are modern classics.

both members have their own solo things theyre mainly focusing on now because the Candy Claws eruption in popularity was well after they were done as a group and they weren't really prepared for it. They'll play gigs now and again but /mu/ really helped that album transcend the band itself around 2019 and it exploded into normie circles over covid lock downs.

>>129492274
You might like some of the earlier Ylayali albums (specifically pic rel: yy, picked apart, and pumpkin patch), although I'd say it's closer to the reverse of what you described, more like distorted slowcore. Often very slow and sparse. 2/3 of the albums I mentioned aren't on Bandcamp &c anymore, but here's yy
https://lilytapesanddiscs.bandcamp.com/album/yy
a song from a comp
https://sleeperrecords.bandcamp.com/track/wegmans
and a Mega I keep of his albums from that time
https://mega.nz/folder/W8lU3ZTZ#8tMPFl8W98WtXo36ZLWrYQ

"Wegmans" (give it a couple minutes) and especially "here" are probably closest to what you're looking for. Of the albums I mentioned, pumpkin patch probably has the songs closest to what you want ("blessed again," "squirrels," "third act"), and it's a favourite of mine as part of a "trilogy" with the two albums before it.

>>129565539
No problem. Caterpillar Graveyard is when his sound took a turn away from the bleakness of his earlier albums, though tracks 5-7 still have the old sound to some extent. If you like the softer parts of the album, then definitely check out his later stuff. Magic eye, separation, and Birdhouse in Conduit are all terrific.

He's one of my favourite contemporary musicians, and seeing his music change over the years has been really neat to watch, and has made me think a lot about the artistic process.
