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

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.

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.

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 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"
