Shoegaze or atmospheric recommendations?

Lately I've been super stressed out and overwhelmed by a lot of things and I often find myself wishing I had something other than heavy/chaotic music to listen to. I've been listening to a lot of Alcest the past few days and I'm super into it. I'm looking for other similarly soothing and sort of ethereal groups to listen to when I really need to clear my head. Not too into instrumental stuff… I don't have a short attention span but I just love vocals if that makes any sense. Any recs would be much appreciated.

Check out Jesu.  Everything from Self Titled to Conqueror is really good.  It's a mix of shoegaze, drone and doom with a good dash of melon collie.  Easily one of my favorite artists.

 

http://jesu.bandcamp.com/ - Their catalogue is fairly good sized and not everything is on there, but it would be a good launching point.

 

Pyramids might be something you'd enjoy as well.  They have a good mixture of shoegaze, black metal and ambient.

 

http://pyramids-hhr.bandcamp.com/ - I'd start with Self Titled.

Here's a shameless plug for my label: Check out Miserable and Grey Zine

 

Also though, Galaxie 500, Codeine, and Slowdive are some good staters too.

Others to check out, Nadja (see http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/99046-po-nadja-queller-most-accessible-drone-gaze/ for ideas on where to start), My Bloody Valentine, Medicine, Have A Nice Life, some of The Jesus & Mary Chain and Whirr, might suit you as well. Iroha and fragment. is very similar to Jesu as well if you do like that.
