Shoegaze/Dream Pop Thread


Recommended Posts

Just stumbled upon this band from Virginia. KEEP. It's an interesting mix of fuzzed out guitars and although buried purposely, the vocals have the harmonies reminiscent to Alice In Chains. Yeah...sounds odd but it's pretty damn good. 

 

They have a new 7" EP coming out, Psychorama

The 7" can be pre-order from Mayfly right now: http://www.indiemerch.com/mayflyrecords/item/37472

Dang, Virginia finally does some good -gazing! Nice find, Juan!

 

edit: great call on AiC esp the third track. The whole 7 is like early Anne meets AiC. On repeat...

So, I made a blind $5 buy on an album last week from a 3rd party amazon seller.  The band is called Mirror Travel and I think some of you guys will like them.  Lp came out in 2013, so maybe it is old new.  You can find a few cheap copies on discogs (clear vinyl /500).

 

check out a few songs here.

Mirror Travel is good stuff.

 

I had never heard of Guitaro - Futura Black is awesome! - searched and found where the guy said if all 600 copies didn't fly out the door (2010)  he wasn't doing any more. So looks like that's happened, he hung it up. The Paypal link was still alive, so I went ahead and ordered one - $15.99 shipped - we'll see. I've been pleasantly  surprised before. Their 2011 (?) was less guitar dense and more electronica, but still not bad. 

 

Thanks for that rec!

 

That band "Keep:  from Virginia, man I wish that they had just put their first 3 tracks with the new ones and made a 10 or a 12" instead of a 7, as my 7 box is full and I'm getting too lazy to turn them over.

Do you know it's black? Everything else is saying like a frosted clear.

Yeah he hung it up. Don't expect him to reply right away. When I bought the record, it took about a week before he acknowledged getting the payment. He says he barely keeps up with the page. But Futura Black is a great album. Their sphmore was more space/dream pop.

On the path of hunting down on Juan's post on RVA duo KEEP - right in my own back yard and didn't know it! - there is this 'Skywave' band from Fredericksburg 1995-2003. After breaking up, we have A Place To Bury Strangers and Ceremony forming from components of this largely ignored band.

 

Now, a fan from Brazil has formulated a tribute to Skywave. Listening to the tracks linked in the article, the unmistakable noise-gaze of APTBS  smacks you in the face.  Keeping an eye on this...

there is no vinyl but a bandcamp, name your price, I can't link now because of the Barracuda filter (I need to get Admin to start listening to music and unblock this). Really enjoying the covers!

so I've been into Flyying Colours recently but can't find their 1st ep anywhere lol, if anyone has one let me know

Yeah I had to do some tracking down 6 or 7 months ago, or right before the PO of their latest.  Will keep an eye open for you - I didn't go completist on them -- iirc there is a US and UK variant.  

 

Love their stuff, they just don't have many songs out when you look at it. 

 

edit: I got mine off ebaY $18.51, US version - for some reason doesn't show up on popsike or collectors frenzy searches, and I double checked the YY and OU spellings?

Did anyone that ordered the new Lilys record receive theirs but never got tracking? Seeing a bunch of people posting their copy, and saying they got shipping emails, but I never got a shipping email or received the record. Started to get worried. I ordered on the 8th when they first posted.

Worried????.it started shipping a few days ago

Listened to a few skywave tracks, yeah I can definitely hear APTBS there.  Good stuff, can't believe I've never heard of them before.

 

Also digging that Guitaro - Futura Black. . . may have to pick that up too
