I am really getting into my shoegazing at the moment. Aside from the bands I already own CD's by (Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus & The Mary Chain, The Radio Dept, Autolux, Amusement Parks On Fire), can anyone else recommend any good 'shoegazing' albums?

Swervedriver.
All those shoegazer bands have mirrors in there bootcaps which they vainly stare into.
Join the Cult Of Pob! And don't forget to listen to the Pobcast! |

| Fleeting Joys are all the rage at the moment, they have a myspace page I think , their album is basically Loveless v.2 but that's no bad thing. |

There's definitely been a revival of interest in shoegazing at the mo, it's all good. If anything appeals to me it's the bands focus on the music (for the most part), rather than concern about image, pretty refreshing these days, no? Plus, I love that the music is all swirly and shimmery and layered.
You might want to try marsneedsguitars.com - it's one of my favourite blogs and he posts a lot of shoegazer kind of stuff, newer and older.
Newer bands - try Asobi Seksu or M83.

All the reviewers seems to be on about Asobi Seksu and Boris. Boris is some heavy shit, so if you like that, I think you'll dig their latest, "Pink". I haven't heard teh Asobi Seksu.
he's back jack smoking crack find him if you want to get found

i have the Asobi Seksu album (obtained through emusic after reading a good review) and it has yet to grow on me, but has lots of potential.

Galaxie 500 - On Fire
Luna - Bewitched
Probably good starting points within impressive catalogs.

for shoegrazing with quite a heavy shine to it, definitely check out ISIS.
not true shoegrazing, but their last record (panoptican) definitely has the feel to it....
all i can say, thank god for polio! brian |

Boris most definitely - their stuff is awesome. (Homer you may fall in love with their guitarist too as an added bonus). Though Pink has definite rock moments to it, more so than their other albums
Red Sparrowes - At The Soundless Dawn
Earth - Hex: Or Printing In The Infernal Method (quite dark and gloomy but still beautiful)
This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
or if you're wanting traditional early nineties, check out Curve
Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself. |

Got both already thanks. Excellent stuff.
Cheeseman, I have M83 too, also excellent. I forgot to list these bands.
The rest I will check out, thanks guys. I had forgotten about Slowdive and Swervedriver

OK, thanks for the link Erebus!
I've heard of a few of those bands, I think I saw the Boo Radleys once, or saw that they played here, and I liked that Verve hit enough to buy a CD single.
That song reminds me of another song I liked enough to by a single, Fools Gold by the Stone Roses, is that the right arena?
It's All Too Much by the Beatles' from Yellow Submarine. I also group Way Down Now by World Party (which is similar enough to, that the band decided to quote from Sympathy for the Devil) and Life's What You Make It (always loved that video) by Talk Talk with those. "Vamps", catchy songs with little or no direction that go on and on.
I also used to call songs at that tempo walking music, you could write a song a mile. |
