Posted By Mr. DJ Jon to Whose Show is it Anyways

First show of the incoming semester. It is an all shoegaze show so instead of doing the coveted choice picks I'll just divide the artist/songs into different styles. For the most part, there is "traditional" shoegaze consisting of "walls of noise" and noise pop + dream pop veneer. But there are other artists that utilize the guitar for ambient or in combination with electronics.

------------Traditional Shoegaze------------

Ride -- This is Not a Safe Place - A decent return to form for Ride some of the songs on the album are forgetable but R.I.D.E, Jump Jet, Future Love, and Repetition are good.

Burrn -- Blaze Down His Way Like The Space Show -- Great from Japan

My Bloody Valentine -- Loveless Kevinshieldsdrinking.gif

Slowdive -- I See the Sun A part of the many Pygmalion demos people really really like this version

Blind Mr. Jones -- Stereo Musicale Shoegaze but with a loud flute cover art is pretty interesting

Moonshake -- First EP This is before their more Post-Rock and later Trip Hop sound of Laika. Very cool shoegaze Coward samples Talk Talk's Rainbow from Spirit of Eden

Collider -- -><- (backtobackarrows) Shoegaze this year kinda normal but the later tracks get wonky really quick and it's sick

Astrobrite -- Crush Some may say Loveless worship others will say it's a step into a cave of very noisy (and I mean VERY NOISY) discography.

LSD And The Search For God -- LSD And The Search For God If the guy from Destroyer had a shoegaze band that really like MBV. Very good though

Swirlies -- Blonder Tongue Audio Baton
SWIRLIES ARE SICK

------------Electronic + Shoegaze (Not as ambient)------------

Sweet Trip -- Velocity:Design:Comfort A fun album and does this mix very well. A personal favorite of mine :)

All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors -- Turning Into Small Shoegaze with electronic elements. Almost stereolab-y in a way.

Ifwhen -- Ifwhen Like above except got released on a Japanese label by the same folks. Not sure why but more electronic

Seefeel -- Succour This release of the IDM and Shoegaze mix group is known for blending ambient with shoegaze textures but this album has that as well as some almost techno (see Vex) + swirling guitar tracks.

Swirlies -- They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days In The Glisten SWIRLIES ARE SICK TWO (EAST COAST SHOEGAZE MUSIC)

------------Shoegaze with a more Rock elements------------

Yo La Tengo -- Painful A fun album I forgot my copy in a rental car RIP

Ultracherry -- I Fall To Pieces Washington DC Hardcore + Shoegaze it's verrrrry good (Fugazi in your Shugazi)

Candy Claws -- Ceres & Calypso In The Deep Time Varied of instrumentation very noisy but not in an aggressive manner

7% Solution -- All About Satellites And Spaceships A space rock album some would argue (aka me) it's underrated. The first two tracks are essential and are a master class on how songs can flow into each other

Emma Ruth Rundle -- On Dark Horses Very heavy but instead of a band this is a mostly singular affair. The effects work very well with the songwriting. (I personally started listening to this week and was pleasantly surprised)

Lift to Experience -- The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads Music for the post-rapture apocalypse. Remember that USA is in the middle of JerUSAlem and TEXAS YEE HAW

------------Shoegaze + Ambient elements ------------

Sweet Trip -- Halica V. 11 : Part of the Bliss out series of Darla records a fun album not as chaotic as V:D:C but not as ambient focused say Loveliescrushing or Flying Saucer Attack

Flying Saucer Attack -- Flying Saucer Attack Much more different than the other Shoegaze artists. Very spacey and utilize interesting percussion.
