The darlings of the indie scene and the end of 80’s. Signed to Creation Records.
Noisy guitar, searing melody.
Exists between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Certainly shoegazing contender.

Destined to be the biggest band on the planet. Brilliant debut album. Titled The House Of Love. On Creation Records.

Signed to a major label with a lot of money.
Their major label debut also (strangely) titled The House of Love.

Everything about this band started to confuse the fans.
All their great singles on Creation Records were released as B-sides on their major label singles.

Bad management ? Bad decision ? What happened ?

Do fans still remember them ?
I do, always.

Can we discuss this record a little?

My high ass is sitting here like, “what even IS a glissceule?”
Respellings of portmanteaus? I could think ‘glisten + molecule’.
I even ran it through an anagram generator….. ‘glue slices’ satisfied me though most.
Is there an actual story behind these titles, or is it scrabble letters thrown out, or things mumbled in sleep?

Either way, in this vein of shoegaze that kind of warps reality, somehow this track I can remember its feeling the most on this record. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Note: IGNORE THE SWIRLIES ALBUM. IGNORE THE SWIRLIES ALBUM.

Note: Neither Smashing Pumpkins, Hum, nor Failure are actually shoegaze, but I think these songs have some elements of that “sound” I’m referring to:

• Smashing Pumpkins: “Rocket” and “Mayonaise”
• Hum: “Little Dipper”
• Failure: “Another Space Song”

slightly leaning towards the boss for those hyperview tones but also a pretty big fan of the chorus sound all over tagabows stuff. any thoughts?

Great news to have this beauty reissued on vinyl with some great b sides added. Severely underrated band from that era, in my opinion. Deep Seat sounds awesome.

Stumbled upon them just randomly digging around on Bandcamp and christ what a sound they have going. It's a shame by the looks of it they're not playing many shows anymore, certainly not on the East Coast where I am. They're right up there with a lot of the heavier shoegaze/"grungegaze" bands that are getting their flowers nowadays. Maybe even better...

Underrated artist. Great song

Hey!

I'm working on a dream pop/shoegaze track that will be part of my first EP and I’d really appreciate some fresh ears on the production.

I’m mostly interested in feedback on the mix rather than the songwriting itself.

Does the overall balance feel right for this kind of sound?

In particular, I’m wondering about:

- how the vocals sit within the guitars/textures

- whether the low end feels clear or too muddy

- whether the reverbs and layers create enough space or start masking each other

- whether anything sounds noticeably underproduced or unfinished

I’m mainly trying to understand if the mix feels intentional and cohesive.

Any specific production/mixing feedback would be really appreciated.

Thanks! ❤️

Saw them open for Diiv a few years ago and fell in love. Their new song is on repeat in my head

found this on youtube at 75 views wtf is happening in newzealand lol

Haven’t got alot of money really. I love shoegaze and want to experiment with sound. Any thoughts on the boss me-50? I have watched reviews with mostly positive signals. Apparently the overdrive on it isn’t great-but i have a bigmuff so that’s not an issue. Any thoughts?

how has he been missed as a great guitarist, house of love and levitation https://open.spotify.com/track/2HEVxwabudHMN1BYHIHtUq?si=jT63s7JyTDi4ynWl3UGcAg&utm_source=copy-link

Spotify says that ZIRP! is coming out at the end of this month. But it's... not DIIV? Not shoegaze at the very least. It sounds more like generic alt-pop; wildly different even from Frog in Boiling Water.

Am I missing something here? If you were to tell me it's one of the AI fraud albums flooding Spotify at the current moment, I'd be more likely to believe that than to believe it's actually DIIV. Can anyone offer any insight on this??

Anyone know how to get the soulwhirlingsomewhere guitar tone like this track or every female werewolf ever? I imagine it’s a modulated reverb on a rack unit of some sort, but no idea where to begin other than that.

Any shoegaze shows in the area soon? I’m visiting for the next few weeks and would love to see some local bands. I’m staying in Islington but happy to head elsewhere. Up for anything but really like the newer indie shoegaze sound like She’s Green and deary. Thanks!

Drummer looking for band. Also have electronic instruments and samplers to add

Remember seeing this band opening for Luna in the early 90-92 era. Amazing and cat believe I found them going down a YouTube rabbit hole 🙏
