Starflyer 59 (the Silver, Gold, and Americana albums) Keep (early stuff, before they became more darkwave) Also, did you leave Whirr out on purpose? Understandable if you did:

Just some random recs, might not be all 'nu-gaze', but just kinda spanning various sub-genres within Shoegaze and Dream Pop. Life on Venus previous album is vastly superior. Oh and this year’s Floral Tattoo album is some great emo-gazeĪhh yes greet death rips. Old gaze > nu-gaze though.Ĭheck Greet Death for some awesome heavy slowcore-ish gaze. But the dude behind the project is a complete dumbfuck.Īlso Stargazer Lillies! Great mix of gaze n psycheĬool list. I'd add a band called Sol Distorsion to the punch lifeline maybe. Check out Fazerdaze, Say Sue Me, Japanese Breakfast, Yumi Zouma, and so many more. Nu-dream pop (lol) could have its entire own list, but hey, it’s pretty close to nu-gaze. While not as diverse as Creation, Miserable’s music both manages to be crystal clear and completely drowned out, making for quite a unique listening experience.

Creation goes from intensely dreamy and floaty to bright and poppy, and it’s all magnificent. Hell yeah! Here’s a bit of a bag of surprises for you. It’s all lovely stuff though, and there’s plenty more to be discovered! I’ll leave it at this before you fall asleep. Be aware that Newmoon’s second album is as good as Space, yet a fair bit less hazy.

Apparently Belgium is really good at this stuff. Continue digging into bands like Balance and Composure, Basement, Citizen, Title Fight or literally any other Run For Cover band if you enjoy this type of thing.ĭrifty, dreamy, ethereal, adjectives. If you’re up for more of this emo-tinged sweetness, -> 11Īnother lovely album, although we are leaving the realm of nu-gaze yet again (oh no!). Sweet, you’ll probably enjoy this record then! That being said, we are slowly drifting away from the genre so I’m afraid you’ll be on your own from now on… okay, fine, check Spotlights, Superheaven, Holy Fawn, Cloakroom and Marriages for more heavier, gaze-adjacent music. The dreamy, washed out production and vocals -> 13Ĭool! It’s really just the riffs here, but is this heavy enough for you? This album is both heavier and dreamier, so just tell me what you like most about it what’s your favourite aspect of Aurora? This album showcases Hundredth abandoning hardcore in favour of a rather abrasive kind of shoegaze, and I absolutely adore it. Let’s end this category on a personal favourite. Yep, you’re in luck, plenty of this grungy side of nu-gaze to be found. Often seen as the kings of the more alt-rock infused side of the genre, and while I personally prefer Gleemer’s discography, ‘Guilty of Everything’ is an essential listen. Is this exactly what you like and want more of? -> 3 Still craving more punch, more g i r t h ? -> 7 Possibly the most consistent band in this genre, this record showcases Gleemer at their best. Gleemer are a must-listen either way, but since you appreciate your gaze slightly heavier, ‘Anymore’ is a great second step. Even if Turnover have not managed to craft anything near the level of Peripheral Vision since, they perfected the formula of catchy melodies, poppy structures and hazy production here.ĭid you like it, but would you like some more punch to your gaze? -> 2ĭid you like it, but do you prefer the dreamy aspect? -> 7ĭid you like it, but do want more gazey emo? -> 10 Turnover is the undeniable starting point, and without question the best record released in this specific genre. This made me realise that this genre (nu-gaze, I suppose) is like half of my taste in music. The other day, SaveBandit asked if anyone had recs for 'whatever you want to call this kinda hazy shoegaze alt rock sound'.
