Sonic Boom's liner notes from the 1994 reissue in many ways capture the whole point of Spacemen 3's full-length debut: '[It] was basically an exorcism for us of our early material..we began our discography with an equal nod to our influences and our inspirations.' Indeed, calling Sound of Confusion derivative misses the point entirely, where calling it anything but a clear and specific homage to a sound and style would be a complete mistake. Three of its seven songs are cover versions -- 'Rollercoaster' by the 13th Floor Elevators, 'Mary Anne' by Juicy Lucy, and the Stooges' 'Little Doll' -- while the originals are at once very much Spacemen 3 songs and clear distillations of everything the band members were tripping out on at the time. Though Sonic and Pierce later expressed a preference for the takes included on the Taking Drugs to Make Music bootleg, the rough garage energy throughout still makes Sound of Confusion a fine listen, if nowhere near as stunning as where the band would later go. As was the case throughout the band's early days, Pierce handled all the vocals with the right amount of diffidence and low-key intensity, while he and Sonic cranked up the amps for minimal, bluntly entrancing riffs and the Brooker/Bain rhythm section chugged along. Of the originals, leadoff cut 'Losing Touch With My Mind' is the strongest of the bunch, a perfect fusion of the psych/proto-punk/drone influences of its creators sent into the outer void. Meanwhile, 'Hey Man,' the title audibly playing off the rhythm and sound of the word 'amen,' is the first of many overt references to gospel music that Pierce would incorporate for years to come. Some later CD versions included the Walking With Jesus EP for bonus tracks, along with one of the many demo takes on '2:35.'

Drawing together some earlier material and a slew of new songs, Spacemen 3 tied everything together on the brilliant Perfect Prescription, the clear point of departure from tribute to psych inspirations and finding its own unique voice. Planned as a concept album, Perfect Prescription works where so many other similar efforts failed due to the strength of the individual songs, as well as the smart focus of the concept in question -- a vision of a drug trip from inception to its blasted conclusion, highs and lows fully intact. The bookending of the album makes that much clear -- 'Take Me to the Other Side' is a brash, exultant charge into the joys of the experience, a sharp, tight performance. 'Call the Doctor,' meanwhile, is a pretty-but-wounded conclusion, husky singing and a drowsy mood detailing the final collapse. The many highlights in between beginning and end are so striking that the album is practically a best-of in all but name. Sonic's eventual work with Spectrum and E.A.R. gets clearly signaled via the majestic reprise of the Transparent Radiation single, here introduced by the swirling flange of an edited 'Ecstasy Symphony,' also originally from that release. Sonic's breathless delivery of the Red Krayola classic, combined with the elegant arrangement, is a marvel to hear. 'Walkin' With Jesus,' meanwhile, is practically the birth of Spiritualized, the much different earlier takes now become a reflective combination of acoustic guitar, two-note keyboard lines, and Pierce's yearning, aching desire. The intentionally nasty flip to that is the storming charge of 'Things'll Never Be the Same,' a call to arms (or injecting something into them) that's as disturbing as it is energetic, the compressed, violent rage of feedback and rhythmic charge a gripping listen. Guest performers from the Jazz Butcher family tree, including Alex Green on sax, help expand the record's sonic range even further. Further reissues include a rotating series of bonus tracks from contemporary singles.

Recorded in Amsterdam in 1988, the live Performance documents a set from the Perfect Prescription tour; the emphasis here is on the group's loud, noisy origins -- only the closing 'Feel So Good' hints at the more subdued atmospheres and textures which emerged as Spacemen 3's primary focus as they approached Playing With Fire. Among the highlights: 'Take Me to the Other Side,' 'Walkin' With Jesus' and 'Come Together.'

13 May the Circle Be Unbroken
Appropriately preceded by the mind-melting crunch of the 'Revolution' single, Playing with Fire proved to be the end of Spacemen 3 as a functioning band, but in truly spectacular fashion. Exploring both the depths of serene, agog beauty and sheer tape-shredding chaos, Playing with Fire pushed the extremes of The Perfect Prescription to an even further edge. It's little surprise that Pierce and Sonic couldn't find themselves properly working together after it, but even less that hordes of bands to follow would rank Playing with Fire as the equal (or better) of psychedelia's '60s/'70s forebears. Sonic himself is quoted in one reissue's liner notes as feeling the album 'was the refining point of a lot of my theories on minimalism being maximalism' -- as apt a description as any. One of his songs, 'How Does It Feel?,' sums it up by using a series of notes echoing off into the distance, again and again. With future Spiritualized bassist Will Carruthers in place of Bain, the trio (and uncredited drummer) created glazed, liquid songs with subtle arrangements and sheer reveling in aural joys. Flange is everywhere, as is echo, full dynamic stereo mixes and more, a feast of sound. When aiming toward a gentler, hushed sound, most notably on Pierce's compositions, the incorporation of gospel power filtered through the band's own perspective results in wonders, as heard on 'Come Down Softly to My Soul' and the album closing 'Lord Can You Hear Me?' As for the louder end of things, besides the awesome 'Revolution' itself, a slow burn blast that just keeps getting more and more obsessive and frenetic as it goes, Sonic calling for a release of energy in a mere five seconds, the other complete freakout is 'Suicide.' An instrumental tribute to the New York synth pioneers, Spacemen 3 keep the minimalism and up the feedback with astonishing results. Initial repressings of the album in the mid-'90s included tracks from the Revolution and Threebie singles, while an elaborate reissue in 1999 also including a full extra disc of demos and rarities, including covers of the Perfect Disaster's 'Girl on Fire' and the Troggs' 'Anyway That You Want Me' -- eventually Spiritualized's first single.
2 Ecstasy in Slow Motion Kember, Pierce
3 Spacemen Jam
Taking off from the ideals which form the core of La Monte Young's concept of 'dream music,' the heart of Dreamweapon is 'An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music,' a transfixing 40-plus-minute document of a landmark Spacemen 3 performance recorded at Waterman's Art Centre in Hammersmith on August 19, 1988. Perhaps the purest expression of the Spacemen aesthetic, the piece is an unbroken tapestry of hypnotic drones, throbbing tones, and repetitive phrases, dappled here and there by evaporating fragments of the melodies which later resurfaced on Playing With Fire. The cumulative effect is one of utter disorientation -- all notions of time and space quickly give way to complete conscious immersion in the music's narcotic tug. A pair of epic rarities, Sonic Boom's feedback sculpture 'Ecstasy in Slow Motion' and 'Spacemen Jam,' round out the package.

13 Suicide (Version 2)
Recorded over four nights in Germany during what turned out to be Spacemen 3's final tour, Live in Europe 1989 is far better than the more ragged earlier Spacemen 3 live album, 1988's Performance. The album's also notable for documenting the group's short-lived quartet lineup, with bassist Willie Carruthers and drummer Jon Mattock. Despite the change in rhythm sections, the focus is, as always, on guitarists Pete Kember and Jason Pierce, who by this point in the group's career aren't even pretending to be interesting in standard verse-chorus-verse structure. Rather surprisingly, only one of the 13 tracks -- a 16-minute take on Playing With Fire's centerpiece track, 'Suicide' -- breaks the ten-minute barrier that was so often smashed through on the group's studio recordings, but there's still an epic, expansive feel to these loose, perfectly ragged performances. Although newcomers are advised to start with Playing With Fire or Recurring, Live in Europe 1989 is essential for fans. A shortened version of this was released on Bomp Records in 1995 under the title Spacemen Are Go! The missing tracks are a murmuring version of the single 'Take Me to the Other Side' and an inconsequential seven-minute alternate take of 'Suicide.'

5. T.V. Catastrophe
6. Things'll Never Be the Same
7. Walkin' With Jesus
An unexpected peek into the band's earliest possible roots, For All the Fucked Up Children preserves Spacemen 3's first ever studio recording work from 1984. Though there are seven cuts total, only five songs are on offer -- the remaining two are alternate mixes of some recordings, interesting but not notably different. Outside of a completely fried take of 'TV Catastrophe,' those expecting Playing With Fire, or even Sound of Confusion, will have some (pleasant, happily) surprises at hearing where the group was and had yet to go. 'Things'll Never Be the Same' readily demonstrates how the trio changed more with time. Where the version on The Perfect Prescription is a viciously compressed, psychotic monster of a track, here it's almost easygoing, Pierce's voice swathed in the appropriate echo while all three lay down everything in a country/blues-with-feedback approach. 'Walkin' With Jesus' is even more radically different from either of the more familiar later takes, again cooking up a slow and steady blues twang and stomp with plenty of ambient space, Sonic contributing harmonica while Pierce does his best imitation of Lou Reed-sings-Muddy Waters. 'Fixin' to Die,' meanwhile, may share its title with other tracks but is its own little beast, an early take of 'Come Down Easy' with different lyrics and backing vocals but the same general low-key gospel groove. As a great bonus, the packaging has both a review of a live show from around the same period -- if nothing else, confirming that Rugby was apparently not only an unlikely place for Spacemen 3 to come from, but any band, period -- and an early publicity photograph. Seeing the original three in short haircuts -- Sonic even has a buzz! -- while striking semi-Kraftwerk poses is something else, though at least the sunglasses are in place.

Dispensable. Unofficially compiling mixes and demos from 1986-1991, Losing Touch With Your Mind does for Spacemen 3's lo-fidelity psychedelia what a sprinkler does for a thunderstorm. Rabid fans frustrated at the growing pomposity (and self-destruction) of Jason Pierce's subsequent Spiritualized might fondle every unpolished crevice of the more impressive material here, but for most this is a strangled, barrel-scraping experience. The cover of Red Crayola's 'Transparent Radiation' makes Lou Reed sound like Mr. Bean, the alternative mix of 'Honey' comes off as even more of a Stone Roses backward track than before, yet for the rest, Spacemen 3's Velvet Underground junkie odes feel too long, too similar, or too incomplete. A shame since the band's stoned abstraction begs for true remixes someday. Taking Drugs to Mix Music to Demand More Remixing To?

13 Things'll Never Be the Same
Never has a record been so aptly titled, or so perfectly descriptive of a band's particular vision of the universe. For all that, the original appearance of Taking Drugs was in fact a bootleg on the semi-legendary/semi-notorious Father Yod imprint in 1990, later supplemented with contemporary outtakes and cuts for the Bomp reissue in 1994 and one further song for the Space Age version in 2000. The original seven tracks, dated January 1986 and the first recordings to feature Pete Bain on bass, are collectively known as the Northampton Demos, understandably named for the recording location in a studio outside said English city. Both Sonic and Pierce have been on record as long preferring these takes to the eventual versions that surfaced for the most part on Sound of Confusion. Certainly it's a fine set of performances, showing a definite step toward the more familiar sound of the group and away from the rougher takes on For All the Fucked Up Children of the World. 'The Sound of Confusion,' aka 'Walkin' With Jesus,' rips along with fierce energy, Pierce's singing and the rampaging, primitive wail and rumble of the band just wonderful. 'Losing Touch With My Mind' takes things to an even higher level, a huge wallop of feedback and beat (Natty Brooker's drumming in particular delivers just what the doctor ordered), Pierce delivering the lines with a flat, cutting drawl. On the slightly lighter tip, 'Come Down Easy' is more or less fully in place (aside from singing about it being 1986!), possessing a more upfront but less vocally distinct feel than the Perfect Prescription take. The tracks that surfaced on the later reissues come from a variety of different sessions, including the original take on 'Feel So Good' and a good live version of 'Things'll Never Be the Same,' one of several cuts featuring Brooker's drumming replacement Rosco.

Also released as Live in Europe 1989 with two extra songs, Spacemen Are Go! was released in large part as a response to Performance, which at least some members of the group felt was a sub-par effort. Collected from various German shows in that year, the album covers the last era of the band as a live act, not to mention the rarest of all the lineups: a four-piece with bassist Will Carruthers and drummer Jon Mattock, who would eventually become founding members of Spiritualized with Pierce. Though fidelity varies a bit throughout, the remastering job, partially overseen by Sonic, presents good results, not to mention a number of cuts performed by the band only on rare occasions. Only three Playing With Fire cuts regularly appeared in the live set, but two of the less performed songs take a bow here, a stripped down, striking take on 'I Believe It' and a gentle ramble through 'Lord Can You Hear Me?' As for the classics -- or at least what many later would recognize as such -- some appear in notably different versions from the studio takes. 'Walkin' With Jesus' has a quick, happy feel to it, for all that Pierce changes a line to go 'cause I can't stand this life/without sweet heroin.' Other songs, notably the twin rampages of 'Revolution' and a 16-minute take on 'Suicide,' completely let fly with all the psychosis the studio versions had and then some. In keeping with the band's acknowledged reverence and inspiration from the past, a variety of covers appear, with a short version of the 13th Floor Elevators' 'Rollercoaster' kicking things off for the album as a whole. There's also the 'Bo Diddley Jam,' not so much a cover as an enthusiastic rip through that legend's style, laced with appropriately heavy vibes.

Translucent Flashbacks fills in some of the gaps in the early chapters of the Spacemen 3 story, compiling singles, B-sides, and rarities issued primarily in conjunction with the Sound of Confusion and The Perfect Prescription albums. Among the essentials: the complete 'Ecstasy Symphony' (a fragment of which leads into Prescription's 'Transparent Radiation'), the early single version of 'Walkin' With Jesus,' and the full-on 17-minute 'Rollercoaster.'

Forged Prescriptions is a collection of alternative mixes, demo versions, and outtakes from Spacemen 3's Perfect Prescription era. Not only is it a boon to die-hard fans, but it also holds up pretty well on its own. Indeed, it would be a decent introduction to the band if it had been whittled down from a double to a single album. The relatively cohesive first disc is almost an alternate version of Perfect Prescription, while the second disc is more of an odds and sods collection for fans. The alternate mixes tend to feature overdubs and other effects that the band couldn't reproduce live (supposedly the reason why these mixes weren't chosen for Perfect Prescription). The layers of guitar on the first disc's 'Things'll Never Be the Same,' which manage to sound simultaneously hypnotic and hard-driven, are particularly appealing, although some may prefer the rougher-sounding demo of the song on disc two. Forged Prescriptions also includes two versions each of 'Walking With Jesus' and 'Come Down Easy.' The cover versions include songs by the Red Krayola (an alternate mix of 'Transparent Radiation') and Roky Erickson's pre-13th Floor Elevators band, the Spades (a previously unreleased cover of 'We Sell Souls'), as well as a couple songs previously revised by MC5 (Sun Ra's 'Starship' and the Troggs' 'I Want You'). The influence of the Velvet Underground is also evident, particularly in the tribute instrumental (the previously unreleased 'Velvet Jam') and the ode to Lou Reed's 'Street Hassle' ('Ode to Street Hassle'). Plus there are tasty remixes of Perfect Prescription originals such as 'Ecstasy Symphony' and 'Soul 1' to make this a generally appealing collection.
02 Che
03 May The Circle Be Unbroken
The teaser single for the full length masterpiece Playing With Fire, 'Revolution' wasn't merely one of Spacemen 3's best tracks but an honest-to-goodness standout of full-on rock & roll insanity. With Sonic Boom and Jason Pierce's guitar playing pushed to the max, delivering a Stooges-inspired riff with utter intensity -- and while Will Carruthers kept the rhythm moving on bass, Sonic took advantage of the slightly calmer moments to coolly deliver a lyric threatening destruction for those who want to keep people down. As political and potent as anything the MC5 wrote and better than anything Primal Scream tried in the same vein, it's sheer power and freedom incarnate. The B-sides, both covers, pay tribute to two of the band's many influences. 'Che,' written by avant-electro rockers Suicide, gets a rock band arrangement from Kember while retaining the original's downbeat creep-out atmosphere. Meanwhile, the gospel roots of the band get a fine nod via the traditional 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken?,' unsurprisingly sung and arranged by Pierce and delivered in a gentle, jaunty style.

This isn't meant to be a definitive source of information, but will hopefully help those getting into Shoegaze music, or people who are trying to find new artists.
What is Shoegaze?
Shoegaze, for the most part, is a subgenre of Alternative Rock characterised by heavy guitar distortion through effects pedals, used to create a wall of sound. The name 'Shoegaze' came from a reporter from the UK Magazine Sounds, in a review of band Moose, referring to how the band had the lyrics for the gig they were playing taped to the stage floor. Magazine NME picked this term up and used it to refer how the bands often look at their effects pedals feet when performing, making it look like they were 'gazing at their shoes'.

Shoegaze first emerged in the Alternate Rock scene of the United Kingdom in the late 1980s, and reached its pinnacle of popularity in 1991 before a decline due to the Britpop and Grunge movements in the UK and North America. 1960s Psychedelic Rock, Garage Rock, Post-Punk, and Indie Rock are often cited as influences for Shoegaze bands.
From the early 2010s, there has been a renewed interest in Shoegaze, and many bands have appeared to recapture the old sounds, others mixing the Shoegaze sound with other genres such as Post-Rock or Metal.
That's great, but what are good albums?
It's all depends on your taste, but for starters, try these cornerstone albums:
Loveless by My Bloody Valentine - Listen on YouTube - Pitchfork Review - The Needle Drop Review (Video)
Probably the album that can summarise the Shoegaze genre as a whole. Essential listening not just for people who are getting into Shoegaze, but for any music listener.
Souvlaki by Slowdive - Listen on YouTube - Pitchfork Review
A more darker album than Loveless, but a very spacey and relaxed album nevertheless. A solid listen.
Nowhere by Ride - Listen on YouTube - Pitchfork Review
This album, and Ride generally, were closer to Alternative Rock with distinct Shoegaze elements rather than Shoegaze itself. A good album if you enjoy early 90s Alternative.
those albums are probably the best entry way into the genre and are essentially The Big Three of the albums/bands associated with the genre. As far as understanding the genre including its sonic aspects and how the genre came about, it's easiest to break the genre down into 2 distinct parts: Bands that directly influenced the formation of the genre and bands who made up the initial wave. The former group shows how the genre was formed, the latter groups more or less set the template for most of the current acts.
Bands who directly influenced the genre:
| Band | Key Album |
|---|---|
| Cocteau Twins | Head Over Heels |
| The Jesus and Mary Chain | Psychocandy |
| My Bloody Valentine | You Made Me Realise EP |
| AR Kane | 69 |
Other acts that influenced the genre's formation, but would be misleading to lump them in with Shoegaze as a whole:
| Band | Key Album |
|---|---|
| Dinosaur Jr. | You're Living All Over Me |
| Sonic Youth | Sister |
| Spacemen 3 | Sound of Confusion |
| Loop | Fade Out |
| Husker Du | Flip Your Wig |
Note that these aren't necessarily the band's best albums, but the ones that influenced the genre the most.
Bands who comprised the initial Shoegaze movement
| Band | Key Album |
|---|---|
| Ride | Nowhere |
| Slowdive | Souvlaki |
| Lush | Spooky |
| Chapterhouse | Whirlpool |
| Moose | Sonny & Sam EP |
| Swervedriver | Raise |
| Medicine | Shot Forth Self Living |
| Pale Saints | The Comforts of Madness |
| Curve | Pubic Fruit |
Note that these aren't necssarily the band's best albums, but they're the most relevant to Shoegaze. In almost all instances, each of the above acts moved onto entirely different genres (Ambient post-rock for Slowdive, Britpop for both Lush and Ride, etc.)
Other bands of interest
These bands often get lumped in with the genre (usually due to a tangential connection. i.e. Creation records signing or one of these bands toured with a band listed above), but they belong to other genres (Psychedelic Rock most often)
Other sources:
- 4chan's /mu/ board also have put together a list of recommended listenings, you can check those out here: /mu/'s Essential Shoegaze/Dream Pop List.
- Record label Club AC30 released a series of albums a while ago called Never Lose That Feeling, with newer Shoegaze artists covering the genre's older works. Definitely worth a listen.
What would you recommend?
/u/-sarge:
Colour Trip by Ringo Deathstarr - Listen to 'Brightest Star'
Ringo Deathstarr are a band from Austin, Texas, mostly focusing on Indie Rock, but with heavy Shoegaze influences.
Methodrone by The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Listen to 'Evergreen'
This album mixes Psychedelic Rock with Shoegaze. Their later works move on to different styles of music, with their frontman Anton Newcombe constantly changing direction. I first listened to this album at a very pivotal moment in my life and it's kind of stuck with me since. A good listen if you're sober, a better listen if you're high and getting all introspective.
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride by The Black Ryder - Listen to 'Let It Go'
Shoegaze/Psych from an Australian band (woo!) - live instrumentation, good helpings of distortion, soft female vocalist, and Psych influences. I'm sold.
/u/Whimish:
I'll list some artists and albums that are maybe not so much known, but are very, very good.
Like Thieves by Ports of Call - Listen to 'Quiet Tide'
Nature Heart Software by Pia Fraus - Listen to 'Feeling is New'
Stereo Musicale by Blind Mr. Jones - Listen to 'Regular Disease'
Letting Go by Whirlaway - Listen to 'Transport'
Pleamar by Resplandor - Listen to 'Whisper'
/u/AptMoniker:
See the list below.
How do I find new bands?
Last.fm is a good resource. If you haven't got an account there, I'd recommend making one as it'll give you recommendations based on your listening habits.
toneVendor's Web Catalogue is another good resource for purchasing vinyl, or just finding newer albums.
The Shoegazing My Balls Off Playlist on Spotify was posted a while back in an /r/shoegaze thread. LeClair updates it once in a while and overall, it's very good listening. All you need to listen is a Facebook account. Depending on where you live though, some tracks will be unavailable.
I'm too lazy to search. I want a list.
Glorious space emperor mod /u/aptmoniker (and the /r/shoegaze community) has also written up a list of recommended artists:
Air FormationDaylight Storms is a great album. They have a lot of music with some real gems mixed in there. Also, check out Matt Bartram. He's the lead singer and does side projects.
Spacemen 3 Hey Man
AstrobriteThis is Scott Cortez's mostly noise project, he's got some pretty earsplitting albums like Whitenoisesuperstar and Pinkshinyultrablast but Crush, Super Crush, and the Eight Candy EP are great.
AirielThey're still together but haven't produced in a few years, their bassist Cory had a band called Tom Spacey that was great. The Tom Spacey album is available for free somewhere. Cory and airiel's old drummer are now in Lightfoils whose EP should drop soon. They're blowing up pretty quickly.
Alcian BlueTranslucent EP and their self-titled album are amazing. They're broken up I think.
Asobi SeksuA lot of people like these guys but I'm impartial. Citrus is their best seller.
Amusement Parks on Firejust check em out.
Bitcrush In Distance. While technically more post-rock, check em out.
Black TambourineComplete Recordings. This is a staple album that noone mentioned. It's along the vein of MBV's earlier recordings, but more Poppy.
Bloody KnivesBloody Knives EP. Super nice people that make great droney fuzzy high-energy goodness.
Broken RobotsThey only have one EP, and I'm pretty sure they fell off the face of the earth, but it's great stuff. Super viscous fuzzy guitar and girl/guy vocals. Lo-fi.
The Brother KiteNu-Gaze one-hit-wonder. Their self-titled album. Their second album was a huge disappointment.
Candy AfterlifeAnything you can get by these guys is amazingly good. I think they have 2 ep's, Self-titled and Kiss With A Gaze.
ChapterhouseI didn't see anyone mention this old staple group. Pretty and jangly guitars. Fare vocals.

Crash City Saints - ALL OF THEIR SHIT IS FUCKING AWESOME. You can get their Returner EP for free from their weblog.
Curve - Doppelgänger. Not sure if anyone mentioned them, but this old band had a huge impact on female-fronted bands.
The December Sound - The Silver Album. An essential.
Dive - Freeze Frame EP + + and Early Sonic June. Very loud and very fuzzy.
Drone Dimension - Faintly Acquainted. Required fucking listening. Their name is very appropriate.
Drop Nineteens - Delaware. This an oldie. Basically America's take on shoegaze.
Earlimart - Someone else mentioned Engineers. If you like them, you might like Earlimart.
Ecstasy Of St. Theresa - Susurrate. A very My Bloody Valentine-esque album and if you're trying to get into it, start with 'Swoony' the seven minute piece that could easily fit in on Loveless
Eluvium - More like ambient shoegaze. If you like them, check out their split with Jesu, whose Silver and Conquerer EPs are fantastic droney sludgy post-rock.
The Emerald Down - Aquarium and Scream the Sound. Super beautiful band that unfortunately is no longer. Like Lush, but better imo.
Everything Is Made In China - Selftitled. They are more post-rockish but with a definite atmosphere of shoegaze.
Flavor Crystals - Ambergris and On Plastic are two great albums if you're into the droney faint dude vocals and borderline psychedelic/ambient rock. For Those Who Know also falls in this category.
Fleeting Joys - Despondent Transponder. Okay, so these guys basically made an unofficial My Bloody Valentine album, which is great and all, but it certainly overshadowed their second release Occult Radiance. Their second album is okay. Definitely get the first album.
Flying Saucer Attack - It's hard to pinpoint one album, their debut is great and it's along the same vein as Astrobrite.
God Is An Astronaut and Hammock make great shoegazey post-rock.
Glifted - Under and In. This is a heavy shoegaze album.
Guitaro - Futura Black. Awesome girl/guy dreampop, If you like them, also check out the SkyDrops.
Hartfield - One of the bigger highlights from Japan. True Color, True Lie is their only LP. They went on tour with Airiel awhile back.
Heaviness - SelfTitled. Some truly lighthearted Dreampop.
Henry's Dress - Bust 'em Green. If the Ramones fucked Black Tambourine you would get this garagey band. Not for everyone, but it's worth a google.
Highspire - Your Everything. When everyone talks about Nu-Gaze, they're talking about Highspire. They're on Clairecords with a few other bands worth checking out.
Hypatia Lake - ..And We Shall Call Him Joseph. Their 2006 release is a bit all over the place, but it's a solid noisy listen.
ifwhen - we will gently destoy you. Noise pop with synths and droney dude vocals.
Isis - In The Absence Of Truth.
A Place To Bury Strangers - SelfTitled.
Jatun - Blanket of Ash. Their cover of Swervedriver's Never Lose That Feeling is super-feelsgoodman. If you like M83, check em out.
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy. Staple.
Not really Shoegaze but The Joy Formidable is definitely under the influence of the genre. The Big Roar is a great album.
The Lassie Foundation - El Ray.
Lilys - In the Presence of Nothing.
lovesliescrushing - Bloweyelashwish and Xuvetyn. Bloweyelashwish is a slow typical shoegaze LP with nice plinking guitars and loooonnnggg hazy chords underneath. Xuvetyn is etheral, if there was one shoegaze album that came from space it is probably this one. It sounds like My Bloody Valentine slowed down 100 times.
Lush - Spooky. This is a no-brainer. Super jangle watery guitars with chick singers. Fucking ultra dreampop. Also, yeah Ride's album Nowhere.
LSD and the Search for God - Selftitled. Starting Over is a lovely girl/guy track.
Oeil - Urban Twilight. An EP released in 2007 which has extremely heavy My Bloody Valentine influences.
Pluramon - Dreams Top Rock and The Monstrous Surplus. This is rock royalty. Julee Cruise on vocals with her un-fucking-real angel voice. Speaking of rock vixens, check out Thee Heavenly Music Association's Shaping The Invisible album. Hellen Storer has a super-sexy voice. If you like, you might want to check out The London Apartments, specifically a track called Fair is Fair. Also, yeah, Mazzy Star.
M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts. A VERY electronic take on shoegaze but when the crescendo in Noise/America/Gone come around there is no denying that the mix of synth with noise is overpowering and euphoric.
Medicine - Shot Forth Self Living. This album sounds like a not as good My Bloody Valentine but just like a junkie, you know you'll take it even if it isn't as good.
The Meeting Places - Numbered Days
Mercy Arms - Self Titled. If you like the Cure.
Mint Julep - Songs About Snow
Nadja - When I See The Sun Always Shines On TV. Very noisy band. Their cover of MBV's Only Shallow will melt your face.
Niz - Stone. An EP released in 2009 from a Japanese shoegaze band but don't worry you won't be able to tell their singing in japanese.. for the most part.
Pinkshinyultrablast - Happy Songs for happy Zombies. This 4 song EP released in 2009 is easy to get into and an instant essential for someone trying to max out their collection.
Raymond Scott Woolson - Accidental Grace Notes
Relay - Still Point of Turning
Resplandor - ANYTHING. Highly highly recommended. My personal favorite album from this Brazilian shoegaze group is Pleamar. These guys really nail what the prettier side of shoegaze is about. (versus the Kevin Shields version).
Robin Guthrie - Continental. (founding member of Cocteau Twins)
Ringo Deathstarr - I saw these guys the other night! Great band out of Austin, TX with a couple of releases under their belts. High-energy dreampop. Check out 'Colour Trip'.
Rumskib - Selftitled. If you're into the girly-girl vocals, this is good album.
Secret Shine - These guys have been around forever. More dreampop girl/guy vocals.
Should - A Folding Sieve. A tragically overlooked band.
Spacemen 3 Discography Torrent
Skywave - Synthstatic. Noisy post-punk and a shoegaze essential.
Sleepy Eyes Of Death - Selftitled. Electronic music along the vein of M83 with more guitar delay.
Slowdive - Souvlaki. Just because I HAD to put this on the list. All their albums and EPs are great. Sleep off of I Saw The Sun is still on of my favorite songs.
Swoon - Jetglo EP
Swervedriver - Mezcal Head. Be sure and check out Airiel's cover of Blowin' Cool! Great track.
The Telescopes - SelfTitled. These guys were incredibly influential alongside Slowdive.
The Sky Drops - Bourgeois Beat. You wouldn't think that this is a duo. Some light dreampop with the occasional squeal.
Tokyo Shoegazer - The most promising shoegaze act to come out of Japan in recent memory. 'Crystallize' and 'Turnaround' are both fantastic albums.
Soundpool - On High. Really dreampoppy melodic watery guitars with chick with the occasional dude singing. Good album!
South Pacific - Constance. Instrumental awesomeness. It's a classic.
Sway - The Millia Pink and Green EP. Andrew Saks is average guy who happens to have put out a few incredible shoegaze records. If I were you, I'd buy all of this guy's stuff immediately.
True Widow - As High as the Highest Heavens and From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth. After that mouthful of a title, you'll need to relax, and this is the perfect album to get that shoegazey goodness and some Dopesmoker-esque drone fused in one for that couch lock greatness.
The Vandelles - Del Black Aloha. Really noisy and high energy psychedelic throwback like the Black Angels. But better, imo.
The Voices - Selftitled, Death Of A Lover's Song, The Sound of Young America. By far some of the worst news I've ever received was when I heard these guys broke up. Their new project is shitty so don't bother. But all three of their albums are incredibly important additions to the genre. Fucking gnarly rhythm section becomes your heart beat. Seriously….buy all their shit and listen to it through really good speakers.
The Voltage - Selftitled. Similar to Broken Robots. Lo-Fi and endearing.
Weekend - Sports, Red EP. Really nailing the shoegaze noise throwback as well. Great vocals.
If you want more doom and gloom, check out The Angelic Process. Hilariously, there is a supersick instrumental band called 5ive that happens to share names with some pussy boyband. Just look up 5ive - Burning Season. Also, I mentioned Jesu who is Justin K Broadrick…look him up. :-)
