The peak of all the modern shoegaze I've listened to is easily this:

Fixed it for you.

Yeah the first two APOF albums were great, especially Out Of The Angeles. I didn't really like their last album Road Eyes though, it feels like a miscalculated attempt to break into the American market. It sounds a bit directionless and confusing at times. I'm still hoping they release another album like Out Of The Angeles.

Ooh cheers. Late reply here, but I personally liked Road Eyes. Not for the same reason I loved their first two records, which were caked in feedback etc.

New album has a more Alt Rock vibe, no doubt, and even a Knapsack-esque emo influence it sounds like. (And Mew on track 3?) I like a couple of songs though.

I honestly didn't know that they started out with Shoegaze influences. I have had their 2006 album Watching Black for a couple of years and it is has elements of Trip Hop and Melancholic Dream Pop but virtually no Shoegaze influences at all. It is a damn good album but so is this vid. Time to dig a little more methinks.

Yeah get hold of Pigment and Susurrate, really hazy and psychedelic in sound. They're great.

I know I've posted a bit about them lately but Malory are just amazing. A beautiful and seductive mixture of shoegaze, dream-pop and ambient electronica. The two albums I have, Outerbeats and The Third Face, are both incredible.



If you're looking for some good early shoegaze you can't go wrong This Scarlet Train. They were a band from Scotland that only existed for two years and released one EP in 1987 called Fimbria. They were a bit ahead of their time and recorded some very dreamy stuff .

I learned about Malory only today when I googled "German shoegaze" after liking one song by the band Get Well Soon and hoping to find a similar band.

I listened through the beginnings of around fifteen of Malory's songs online and like the following the best because of its beat and the pervasive wash of sound they create. Their other songs have less punch, I feel, and so don't appeal to me as much as this one:

Malory - "Want You"
