Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love I'm enjoying this far more than some of their later releases. This album seems to have more experimentation and balls to it than their releases under their major label. M83 - Red Seas & Lost Ghosts I listened to a few of the preview tracks by these guys on last.fm and felt it warranted a further listen. As I'm starting to overcome some of my misconceptions about shoegaze music I'm discovering some very good releases that I'm happy I'm finding sooner rather than later. A Place to Bury Strangers - A Place to Bury Strangers I like heavy wall of sound distortion and this album delivers. Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton Someone (sorry I can't remember who) was talking about this band a week or two ago and that aroused my interest. Checked out a few demo songs and really found myself getting into the music so I found their highly regarded debut. Ride - Nowhere Another one of the original shoegaze bands from the late '80's/early '90's that I like. Some of the other bands I've been checking out (Slowdive, Chapterhouse, and Lush) have been a little too mellow and poppy for my taste. I love that heavy wall of distortion that I found with My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless and Ride's Nowhere delivers a very competent follow up. |

I'm putting these two 2009 metal albums up against eachother...
Baroness "Blue Record" Mastodon "Crack The Skye" Based on past listening of both bands, Baroness is my favored to win, but my only other experience with Mastodon is Leviathan.

LoathsomePete: great picks there, especially the Built to Spill and M83.
are you familiar with Cranes? shoegaze/dreampop at its best. can't recommend them enough.

This popped up on my radar a few times recently, so I thought I'd check it out: Jaylib - Champion Sound

Neurosis and Intronaut would be good places to go from there but in all truth and honesty you're going to be moving into more of a post-metal area which I can provide many recommendations for.

Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me Decided to give another Brand New album a try and see if I like it more than Your Favorite Weapon. I bought this for a girl when I was in grade 10. Passion Pit - Manners They seemed to be getting some positive feedback last year and the mashup of the song 'Sleephead' I have interested me enough to download this. Deerhoof - Dirt Pirate Creed Deerhoof - The Return of the Wood M'Lady A couple more additions to my Deerhoof collection. This is their earliest and noisiest material. |

High on Fire's Death is This Communion is also a great album in that ballpark. For what it's worth their new album Snakes for the Divine which came out a couple weeks ago was an utter disappointment. |
