Shelby Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Are you saying it wasn't dumb though? I think we can all admit it was pretty dumb. Haha Taylor Swift making a gnar face with a Jag = shoegaze hahahaha. No need to fight about it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Taylor Swift making a gnar face with a Jag = shoegaze hahahaha. No need to fight about it lol. That's kind of how I feel. But isn't shoegaze more or less known for not going hard on the vocals? The photo in question seems like it'd be better suited for something akin to can't wait for Taylor's feature on the new Converge record, with an appropriate bump in that thread. Maybe that's just me. If you're going to jokingly bump a thread, respect the theme and structure, goddammit. It's what separates us from the animals. Next.

jhulud Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 New Taffy looking pretty nice... (From Club AC30's FB) drds89 and EHughes527 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 And now the new Taffy is up for PO. I believe Norman records will also carry as they with all Club AC30 releases. ‘Nyctophilia’ showcases everything you could want from a Taffy record, but with a subtle difference. “I always write the songs as singles” explains singer Iris, “but for this album, for the first time, I wrote songs just to be part of the album”, and this is evident upon first listen. This album builds on the bands atmospheric guitar work and noise-rock sound, all the while showcasing their renowned dreamy, sugar-sweet songwriting under-pinned by Graham Coxon-esque 90’s guitar riffs. The album name displays a certain continuity with their lauded 2015 EP, ‘Darkle’ conveying feelings of darkness and love for the night, almost in direct contrast to the band’s bright, shimmering sound. A swirl of transcendental melodies, new single ‘dd’ is a reverb-laden cacophony of fuzz bass and soaring, anthemic vocals backed with beautiful, psychedelic soundscapes. Tracks such as ‘Runic Wade’ and ‘Lavendery’ take a step away from layered guitar work and take a more delicate approach, with dynamic and spacious recordings that give center stage to Iris’ blissful and otherworldly vocals. With sensibilities reminiscent of Elastica and The Stone Roses, Taffy have always been inspired by the works of British artists and in ‘Nyctophilia’ they were given the chance to play homage to one of their favorites with a cover of ‘Come Home Baby’ by The Charlatans. Tim Burgess has been something of a longtime fan speaking publicly of his fondness for the band, taking them on tour. Of the cover he said "it's an honour” but the band insist the honour is all theirs.

Last album was fantastic http://www.brooklynvegan.com/chilean-shoegazers-trementina-releasing-debut-album-on-burger-listen-to-please-lets-go-away/ I had never heard of this band until about an hour ago, when my better half just messaged me a screen-cap of the band on Spotify and asked me if I had heard of them. I'm assuming they were in her suggested artists / curated Spotify lists. Will definitely have to check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Believe it or not, several years ago DF had a shoegaze 'lunchtime' suggestion thread - and Trementina was on there. Soundcloud iirc. Glad they made physical - which I believe is still readily available. Only one track I want to skip (you know which one I'm talking about). Will wait to hear the new one. i like the new Taffy track and eager to see if the final product really is a different direction. "Darkle" is a great listen and glad to have that on vinyl. Haven't pulled the trigger on the rest yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Is it true that Ride is the shoegaze band you go to when you can't listen to Slowdive which you go to when you can't listen to My Bloody Valentine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
