second loveliescrushing. i just recently "got" them.

Whoops, double post. My internet is fucked up.

^ i'd recommend Astrobrite just for the hell of it, but they're not really gothy.



yeah. JAMC is a great for what he wants i think,


A Place To Bury Strangers should not be left out as well. great band.

To me, Loveliescrushing are the band as far as straight-up shoegaze goes... their albums contain the very essence of what makes shoegaze good to me. It's so pure and ... fuzzy.

Astrobrite are pretty good, they've got some really cool/weird stuff ("Whitenoisesuperstar") but some of the production on their stuff is terrible.

^yeah, haha especially on whitenoisesuperstar; its so lo-fi but i love it and it doesnt bother me.

Yeah, I love that album more than any of the 3 I've heard.... but the production is excruciating at times. Lo-fi is one thing but... haa.

Good shit though.

i like the production because it shows that its not impossible to get that kind of sound.

if you get that...

No, I don't get that.

It's very easy to get that type of sound. A few layers of trebly guitar overdubs recorded through a computer mic. That's how it sounds to me. Haha.

i didnt think anyone would.

Check out Alcest - www.myspace.com/alcestmusic.
It's the solo project of some bloke called Neige who has been in many different black metal bands in the past, it's not strictly shoegaze, although you still might like it.

Alcest are good.

Scarling. are pretty good (well, their first album not so much, but the rest)
I second Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
Astral are awesome.
The Chameleons (UK) are neither goth nor shoegaze but they're somewhere in between.
Claire Voyant are pretty neat.
FUCKING Mira!!!
Love Spirals Downward...
if you want some stuff influenced by slowcore, you can't go wrong with anything by Lycia...

i didn't know anyone else knew about cranes.

cranes
curve
and everything else that's been said

scarling!!

if people are going to recommend alcest, then also jesu, nadja and the goslings.

i've seen nadja and the goslings being reviewed as pseudo-goth along with the usual shoegaze metal crap tag. and jesu, well, they have a song with jarboe.

now that i think about it, you should check out the album jarboe and justin broadrick did, released earlier this year. i liked it even if it's not mindblowing.

ohhh, the angelic process too; actually, i think they are the most goth while still being shoegazer of the ones i mentioned in this post.

Nadja are fairly goth yeah. I don't know about the Goslings though.

Shit yeah, Cranes are the bomb.

And repped for the Scarling. I like people that like them.

EDIT: Shit nevermind, I have to spread rep before giving it to you again.

some of between the dead and occasion, at the very least, have some goff in some tracks (some have noise, some have metal, some have dream pop, etc.)

Xasthur - usually defined as ambient black metal, but gothy shoegaze also fits.

the scream by siouxie and the banshees is a fabulous record...

carry on.......
