recommend me some gothy-shoegaze...
 

I know that shoegaze isn't goth, I'm just looking for something that might fall somewhere in between. With all of the musical experts here, something should come up.

And yes, that is my attempt at flattery.

Cranes fits your description pretty well

I'd prescribe a bit of Curve for you sir.

Good call on both of these, rep for both (well an attempted rep for SYRFox, I must have repped you for something else, but I don't remember what...)

cranes.. without a doubt...


check these...

FOREVER (1992 DEDICATED)

THE AMAZING...ESSENTIAL
WINGS OF JOY (1990 DEDICATED)

wings of joy is an amazing record. forever is good but a bit on the pop side of goth....
amazing band with beautiful vocals from a beautiful alison shaw

duh but cocteau twins (i second curve and cranes.)

great recommendations!

I'd also like to add Skywave - Synthstatic, its got some good melodies and some pretty gothy moments. And Ceremony - Dissapear, it has a similar vibe to Skywave but its really dark and its just between goth and shoegaze.

curve is a bit too disco to be shoegazy or goth to be honest

have we all forgot the legendary cocteau twins?????


cocteau twins- treasure (1984 4ad)

or even this gem...



this mortal coil- blood (1991 4ad)

or even this beauty



this mortal coil- filigree and shadow (1986 4ad)

maybe not but still all gems of albums!

the cures pornography!

there is download link somewhere....... i havent time to fish it out!

and any excuse to post this link..

defunct irish band THE IDIOTS (1996 dirt)
fits the bill quite nicely.....

thanks for those cocteau twins links man, big help!

i'd say Disintegration was way more shoegaze-y than anything else they've done.

Slowdive, if you haven't heard them already. Just for a Day in particular has a lot of Cure/Cocteau-isms thrown in it.

yeah but its not a s great as pornography!

loveliescrushing

paul, two posts above your ct links, you can read they weren't forgotten.

I'd say Garland's is C Twin's most 'gothy' record...

yeah pornography is much better.


anyways i've really started to dislike this term, shoegaze after reading this article http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/07/...snt-shoeg.html. it just made me aware of how shit that name is.

elso try to get the early MBV ep's like This is My Bloody Valentine and Geek. Those are birthday party-esque

I reccomended 'em recently, but RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY. They have a dark gothy sound but have layers of fuzzy shoegaze guitars.

I've always felt that Psychocandy and early My Bloody Valentine were kinda goth, but I don't know much.

Yes, definitely on the darker spectrum of shoegaze (and coincedentally probably my favorite shoegaze band besides slowdive.. who don't really sound like your typical shoegaze band anyway).
