the new cranes album if anyone is interested....

right here...

I can only agree with many other posters: Jesus and Mary Chain!
If you want something more raw try "Cop Shoot Cop", they've got some nice stuff.

For traditional Gothic Rock I would recommend Alien Sex Fiend.

Love & Fucking Rockets - 7th Dream of Teenage Heaven (get UK version or GTFO)

^^^ I tried that. good call.

Yes indeed. It's gothy, it's shoegazy. It's gothy shoegaze!

I recommend soundtracks.
Howard Shore, Bernard Herrman.
No more whiny shit.

I recommend watching an Evanescence video with mute on while listening to Souvlaki on the stereo.
Gothy shoe gaze, there you have it;
