Majesty Crush - Butterflies Don't Go Away (2 LP Compilation) https://numerogroup.com/products/butterflies-dont-go-away

Pasteboard's Glitter is getting a vinyl release. http://alternapop.com/2023/04/13/japanese-shoegaze-band-pasteboard-to-get-vinyl-release-for-glitter/

This is a newer post-punk band. Their self-titled debut came out in 2018 and their 2nd release in 2020. One of my favorite newer bands. https://deeperchi.bandcamp.com/album/deeper https://deeperchi.bandcamp.com/album/auto-pain Recommended if you like: Joy Division, The Cure, Preoccupations, Fews, Fontaines DC, Idles, Mush, Omni, Parquet Courts, Protomartyr, Shame, Silverbacks, Ought, Corridor, Television, Wire

That's snazzy but I read someone comment that it looks like a dinner plate on a cutting board. I can't unsee that now.

Air Formation - Daylight Storms Mastered especially for vinyl by Simon Scott, it will come on two slabs of 180g sunburst red and orange coloured wax, housed in a lovely thick reverse-board gatefold sleeve. Release date will be sometime between March and May 2023. https://airformation.bandcamp.com/album/daylight-storms-2022

It says that it's remastered too.

Enjoying this... Spunsugar, from Sweden https://spunsugar.bandcamp.com/album/drive-through-chapel Bandcamp bio: "Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound."

A couple recommendations that I don't see previously mentioned. XO - Heart https://xotheband.bandcamp.com/album/heart This came out a handful of years ago. I think it's excellent and can be found new for under $10. Sweam - Lounge Music For Cat People https://sweam.bandcamp.com/album/lounge-music-for-cat-people They only pressed 25 of these on vinyl, released 2020. From Norway, shoegaze with enough jangle to be accessible. Tracks Jamie and D'arcy remind me a bit of Foals.

Highspire is pressing 'Your Everything' on vinyl for the first time. Pre-orders available now. https://www.diggersfactory.com/vinyl/231233/highspire-your-everything

Make sure you read the history of the Swervedriver EP that Adam posted if you haven't. It's a good read. Copied here in its entirety. http://www.alternapop.com/2020/07/16/swervedriver-releases-previously-unreleased-recording/

I think the original 150 allotted sold out but Adam put 25 more up. It lists '500 pressed' so perhaps the remaining are slotted for future touring or record stores?

new Mumrunner track... new album out in March. https://throughloverec.bandcamp.com/track/foe Reminds me of DIIV

Mine arrived with bent corners as well. UDiscover offered a couple options but none include shipping out replacements because they are out of them.

I got the test pressing and Space Travel single. I've seen a number of posts on the FB Swervedriver Fan page saying people have been receiving their pledge items, but not everyone yet.

Well damn that's impressive info. You sound connected. Thanks!

Anyone know how many were pressed of the red and blue variants? I haven't seen numbers for them anywhere.

The Fire Theft wins!

I saw them open for both Saves The Day and Grandaddy. (Could barely stomach Saves The Day) Voted!

You can vote for Run Out Groove to reissue this now. The highest vote getter out of the 3 optional albums gets a repress. http://www.runoutgroovevinyl.com/product/fire-theft-41481

Topographies, a new shoegaze band out of San Francisco. They are opening for The Twilight Sad this Sunday night at The Independent SF. https://topographies.bandcamp.com/

Film School has announced pre-orders for their upcoming album, which includes the original members from their great self-titled days. limited edition of 100 in silver or 400 in yellow... https://cobrasiderecords.com/products/film-school-bright-to-death-lp

I'm still waiting for mine. There was likely a delay with mine because of payment issues. Looking forward to comparing it to the original.

indeed it's a complete change from their earlier work which was not my thing at all.

autolux - "turnstile blues" (one of my most favorite albums) flyying colours - "wavygravy" (in my opinion one of the best shoegaze bands to come out in the past 5 years) the distortions - "this place doesn't have the balls to kill me" (worth a mention because I've never seen them mentioned anywhere) guitar - "honeysky" (very MBV influenced) mystery machine - "horn o'plenty" (90s Canadian band, only their first album was released on vinyl but they tell me that they are re-releasing a couple more on vinyl soon... they sound kinda like Swervedriver but a little more indie rock than shoegaze) hundredth - "youth" (darker and harder shoegaze) ex cops - "separator" (I was pretty fond of this debut and think it's pretty solid all the way through. I was really dissatisfied with their second album though as it was a change in direction) for reference, some of my favorites are Swervedriver, Catherine Wheel, Film School. (I realize now that at least one of these bands was previously mentioned which I'm not really surprised by. The search function on this site needs some work)
