Oh definitely, they're quite loud especially in smaller venues. But yeah, just the standard sized frost colored Ety's are a godsend! Cool to hear other people love them too!

Louder, heavier, slightly noisy shoegaze. Parts of it reminds me of the heavier first half of the Dead Swords album. But the whole album keeps that energy. http://wearetimelost.bandcamp.com/album/dont-remember-me-for-this For anyone that may be interested and doesn't do the streaming thing, I have an extra download that came with the record: https://wearetimelost.bandcamp.com/yum c5lh-kdlk Thanks for the recommendation on this. I love the Dead Swords album, so that definitely got my attention. mrewest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I think this band should be on everyone’s radar. I loved their EP from a couple years ago & this song is even better. Very mathy-gaze. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those and Swirl instantly won me over. I feel like the "slower" tracks on the album really pack a punch even if they're not immediate – I can think of a handful that escalate into nice bursts of guitar static and excellent walls of sound, or just have a really strong hook to latch onto. It definitely keeps getting better and better with each revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Regret starts out like a trail of dead song and I am sooooo here for it. (Edit) In fact, it sounds like Homage in the beginning. Edited November 28, 2019 by jrodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainGilliams Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Anyone interested in the Tokyo Shoegazer "Crystallize" release from Graveface might want to check out their bandcamp today. Here is Ryan's description below. Only 9 copies left as I write this. The vinyl manufacturer sent us some purple'ish LPs for this record (I didn't order purple) and you can scoop one up today. One thing to note: - a bunch of you lucky humans will receive handmade packaging with custom art by Chloe Manon (the person who did the art for this record) INSTEAD of the standard packaging. She has informed me she's going to do some drawings, some paintings and some with stencils. Some of you will get standard packaging with the OBI and some of you a custom piece of art. Feeling lucky? https://graveface.bandcamp.com/album/crystallize?mc_cid=aab9dbe41b&mc_eid=b234643f78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaulManella Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Maybe you kind folks can help me. I've been getting into this genre a lot because of Teenage Wrist and Nothing. What are some bands similar to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrundle The Great Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 the new Tennis System album is good, both Holy Fawn albums are great, and it seems everyone is still sleeping on Greet Death. its not a perfect album as I think there are 2-3 weaker tracks, but this ones gonna be big once enough people hear it. just 2 of many highlights JRHews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 That Greet Death album is good fun, but I don’t recall a total shoegaze vibe from the whole thing. It’s got a great variety though – I seem to think there were some twangier moments on it that surprised me. I need to revisit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely not strictly shoegaze. all these cross-genre gazers are getting hard to classify. greet death album has a lot of classic "alt rock" elements that remind me of stuff from the late 90s early 00s. they throw a few silly acoustic folk songs on every album that break up the consistency, and it takes a few listens but they make 9 minute tracks feel like 4 minutes.

So I ordered the earplugs, and they didn't do a damn thing. I suspect it was because I forgot them on the table at home. Show was amazing though, and I survived. mrewest and magickspells 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
