I'm kind of quite enjoying the fuck out of it actually.

Lot of bands playing this kind of early 90's indie rock styles, some with a bit of synth too. Not exactly original, but refreshing, and long may it continue.

Could you describe the Pixies sound as shoegazing (some of it, in particular bossanova)?

Anyway I just discovered this band. I think they are from Texas. Shoegaze/grunge. They are from Texas and that kind of also comes across in their music, they have a similar country/folk edge to them, like Mazzy Star but with some seriously ill bass reverb.

True Widow - Jackal from the new album As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth (possibly the longest album title I've ever heard)

EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints

Quite like the sound of this band, I love her voice. This song really reminds me of the PIxies. Good album.

My shoegaze pick is Autolux

Loved their first cd Future Perfect. Their second CD, Transit Transit was a grower, but I really like it now.

I'll have to take a listen to your picks at home. My work PC won't load youtube.

These guys are getting a bit of a name for themselves around Edinburgh at the moment. I saw them play a couple of weeks ago in a small venue. It was a free warm up gig and they only played for about 20 minutes, but it sounded good anyway.

They sound great Dean (and speedy)! Thanks for the recommendation. I am now their(your) 100th group member on facebook.

Can definitely hear a bit of a Pixies influence on Someone Will Remind You.
