What!!! Reckon if you looked up the definition of Shoegaze it would probably say 'Slowdive - Just For A Day'.

lol which would make it right? Never got why this is filed under the genre really, as beautiful as it is, more ambient or dreampop, but if it's officially (groans) labelled shoegaze then so be it!

This was very weird. The opening track had me thinking "This whole album is just gonna be weird music called "art" huh?" But after that opening track it got really good. Its the only album I can think of that felt like every track took forever to get through but in a good way. I'm kinda mixed on it but I might have to give it another listen to fully enjoy it, Thanks! Who knew little bro Weegee could give good records 🤣 (it'sa joke'a)

I understand that it's a joke. But I'm glad you had a positive reaction to the record. Honestly, I feel the record got better on repeat listens. But I will say take your time with it.

23 by Blonde Redhead

Super great crossover album, accessible pop hooks with a dreamy shoegaze sheen.

Thank you so much for your replies! Those flow charts were very helpful! I'll be posting my thoughts on the records I haven't listened to to let them know if I liked them or not 😁

I think I'll start with Swervdriver. I love this band but I've intentionally stayed away from "Mezcal Head" because I didn't want to start with their best record and be stuck on it you know? I've listened to Raise and their newest one but the felt like they were missing something. Not sure what thought. Mezcal Head has the "thing". I've really been missing out it seems. Also I haven't listened to Slowdive's "Just For A Day" yet but I just bought a Slowdive collection with their first three records. I think I wanna be suprised and wait a bit 😉 but thats just me, can't wait!

Don't know if you've heard it yet, but this is perhaps the greatest example of the genre after My Bloody Valentine:

Just For A Day - Slowdive (1991)

I don't know if these records are shoegaze but if you want weird but very uplifting records give these records a chance.

Flowcharts ftw. For newer stuff, I really like Asobi Seksu's Citrus (and other albums) and Candy Claws' Ceres Calypso.

Check out Pale Saints too if you haven't. It's older stuff that's borderline on the "classic" label, so people often miss out, but it's for sure one of the best.

Love these!

All these... plus Chapterhouse's Whirlpool too.

Might be worth giving Ringo Deathstarr a listen if you like shoegaze crossed with J&MC.

Cellardoor's got a pretty solid shoegaze chart - well worth a look:

That flowchart is really great, just search best shoegaze albums on Google and you will get more flowcharts!

A recent favorite of mine is this :

So I've been really into Shoegaze for the past few months now. I've listened to almost all the classics and the underlooked but essential (Galaxie 500, Cocteau Twins, Starflyer 59, Curve ect) classics. I feel like it's time to go deeper! Any recommendations of your own? I'm not looking for anything Doom/Blackgaze............that stuff sends me to PTSD I swear....anywho, yeah. New music *Kermit dance* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY
