shoegaze songs with climactic build?

hi all! i am working on a shoegaze track where i am trying to write a post-rock/chamber pop type build, but most shoegaze music seems to generally stay in one dynamic realm.

would anyone have recs for songs/bands that bridge that line with post-rock and/or do very cinematic lush builds? thank you!

Anyone else that has fallen deeply in love with this under-appreciated mbv song ?

I feel like this song is flying under most people's radar. I can't quite explain how giddy and gleefully excited the first few notes of this song make me feel. Am I mad ? Am I alone in this ? Are there other people as mad as me for feeling this is mbv's best song ever ?

I'm really curious. What do y'all think ? Is it just that most people find the later works more interesting, or do I just have an obsession for a song ?

she loves you no less enthusiasts, if you exist, come forth !

Planning For Burial tabs?

I’ve been looking for PFB tabs for a fat minute for songs like Threadbare, Warmth of You, Whiskey and Wine, and both Dull Knife songs but can never seem to find them anywhere. Below the House is a really important album to me and is probably in my top 3 of all time so if anyone has tabs that would be great.

Shoegaze with spoken word

This might sound dumb, but are there any songs you could think of similarly to ‘Kick the Tragedy’ by Drop Ninteens with spoken word sections to them? Not looking for any particular reason other than curiosity of how common it is wondered if anyone else here would know

Albums Similar To Whitelands Night Bound Eyes Are Blind To The Day?

Recently heard this album, and I love the sound of it. Looking for similar sounding shoegaze albums with that upbeat chiming guitar tone, and lots of reverb.

Hi

As someone newly introduced to this style of music, I'm not very informed on anything related to it. Does anyone know of any online archive websites/books/resources that I would be able to use to find old pictures,videos and songs of older music

Anybody knows what happened to "Neither/Neither World" band?

Looking for any information about Neither/Neither World. What happened to Wendy Van Dusen? Any side projects or solo career..? Also rare records & videos links will be appreciated!

I know their songs are not purely shoegaze (sometimes more like neo-folk?) but i guess this subreddit definitely have people who knows that band

effects and general sounds

hiya everybody! im curious as to what is generally agreed upon to be the keys to a shoegazey sound. im aware of chorus, fuzz, overdrive, and the mass amounts of reverb but are there any other sounds you guys would say? and what about for drums and bass?
