They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons by Swirlies is my favorite. Really any early Swirlies

I know Souvlaki and Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Space Time are maybe more on the Dream Pop side than loveless is but I prefer both of those as well.

Two of my favorite albums ever, You'd Prefer an Astronaut by Hum and Split Personalities by 12 Rods are more shoegaze-influenced than they are pure shoegaze, but that's probably more what i'm into tbh

As far as loveless, its' just never clicked for me but tbh my expectations going into it were probably just a little high given how its constantly praised. Ive tried several times over the past 5 or 6 years though so. Also this take is probably not going to be very popular but it just sounds like a novelty to me, I don't think it's very replayable at all. Like there are moments on it that I like, but I'm never inclined to go back and listen to them or if I do, finish it the whole way through. Souvlaki's usually the a***ogue to it in discussions and I don't LOVE that album start to finish but the highs are more enjoyable and longer lasting. there are times where I actually just feel like listening to that album specifically. Like by comparison I can listen to When the Sun Hits any time and it sounds beautiful, i dont know what the comparison on loveless would be but there's nothing like that on there for me because i get bored of it idk

noisy noisy good good

This isn't glow on

My exact experience

Kept confusing them for MCR

I know they not necessarily shoegaze or whatever, everybody got they own definition especially defined by what feeling it elicits in them

But this, into souvlaki, into American football 1 is the quintessential white nigga crown Jewel. Unfuckwittable

Immediate follow, please post more recs of whatever you like

What kind of stuff are you into? I'm not a big shoegaze head those are just a few albums that I like. The most similar to those that I've found recently is Lula Divinia by Shiner, check that out! Also check out Long Season by Fishmans if you haven't heard it already.
If you're into emo check out Awkward Pop Songs by Jank

I'm kinda in for whatever but the melancholy s*** with a heavy dose of rhythm is what I like. Sometimes it gets too too too ambient and it's like ehhhh wtf. Fishmans are GOATED. I liked the one with them walking on air the best. Do you fw

Cornelius
George clanton
Takako minekawa
Sweet trip
Lush
Asobi seksu
Deaton Chris Anthony (last album has some Midwest emo/80s revival backbone)
Kero kero (time n place)
Parannoul?

What You Want

listened to this while getting my wisdom teeth removed and could see the surgery in the reflection of the lamp lens above

kino

also reminds me of snowboarding

changed my life for the worse. this s*** put me in a place i never wanna go back to. F*** them irish f***ers

In so happy I didnt know this

A few months ago I was reflecting on how crazy it was that the mbv album even dropped in 2013, let alone if Shields stayed true to a 2018 release

I like Cornelius & I like what I've heard from Parannoul but I wish I was more into them bc there aren't many bands that still make music that I'm really a fan of. For Love is probably one of my favorite songs but Ive never heard anything else by Lush so I'll have to check them out for sure. Never really listened to any of the others I'll definitely listen though!

Real for takako

Star fruit surf rider shout-out Cornelius one time

Also think you're gonna get something out of that list considering what you said you liked already, it's not all shoegaze. Definitely a lot of branches and genre mixing

Faaaaaaantastique Cat

Her and Cornelius being together is too funny to me

This s*** always gives me that 90s teenage melancholy nostalgia, even though I was born in 94

I always thought the same thing I got hip to them in high school though, when I was 15 I think.
