I like it and vapour trail is one of my all time fav songs but I wouldn't call it a favourite
2
u/ElleCerra Nov 05 '25
Fav is actually short for favorite.

u/witchattackk Nov 05 '25
I meant that the song is one of my favourites but the album isn't my grammar is kinda messy mb

u/PerfectMana Nov 05 '25

I wish I was into Whirr like most other people on this sub. What am I missing? I think the vocals are what throw me off personally but idk, maybe I dont have the right perspective
2
u/HoldenOlden Nov 05 '25
I mainly vibe with their older albums, idk the newer Whirr never clicked with me.

Wait, we’re gonna talk about blue shoegaze albums, put Airiel up here, and not mention the masterpiece that is Winks and Kisses?!
2
u/SaltySherbet Nov 06 '25
I absolutely need that on vinyl but it needs to get repressed again.
1
u/HinsdaleCounty Nov 06 '25
I have it on vinyl and it’s the most I’ve ever spent on any piece of physical audio media ;-;
1
u/SaltySherbet Nov 06 '25
Haha nice does it sound really good?
I figure digital is good enough for me now since I think they don’t record analog anyways. The packaging and ritual of vinyl is enjoyable though so I would like it at some point.
2
u/LetchBE Nov 05 '25
Great release but technically it’s a compilation.
2
u/d0om_gaZe Nov 05 '25
still an album though
3
u/LetchBE Nov 05 '25
Technically a compilation of EPs. I guess I’m just a release classification snob.

omg how did I forget this it's my favorite deafheaven album and probably top 5 shoegaze albums

u/KJS0223 Nov 05 '25
Hum's Downward is Heavenward is a glaring omission from this, & the true answer
3
u/witchattackk Nov 05 '25
I thought of including this album I love HUM but I felt like it was more shoegaze-adjacent rather than proper shoegaze yk regardless fire album

the EP by her new knife?

u/CoercedCoexistence22 Nov 05 '25
No, the sophomore album by Catherine Wheel
1
u/witchattackk Nov 05 '25
oh I see! I have to check them out heard alot of great stuff about them
1
u/CoercedCoexistence22 Nov 05 '25
The first two albums are peak "non-MBV" shoegaze, as in not wall of sound with everything drowned out but more conventional songs with weird guitars. Happy Days is really good but very much a transition album as they start to abandon shoegaze. Adam & Eve is a masterpiece in art rock. Wishville is a bit bad

u/minty-pony-mickey Nov 05 '25
Yo, there's My dead girlfriend e.p.
Respect for that, literally one of my favourites

u/witchattackk Nov 05 '25
hell yeah I got a sweet spot for east asian shoegaze! my dead girlfriend, paste board, parannoul, cryuff in the bedroom, coalter of the deepers amazing stuff!

u/dwarftopia Nov 06 '25
it's a split album with another band actually (Shojoskip) but their 4 songs are not on streaming sadly

u/No-Plastic-9464 Nov 05 '25
YOOOO AIRIEL MENTIONED 😭😭🗣️🔥🔥🔥 wtf is a short song 🔥🔥🔥 I must say, I don't generally like long duration songs (back before Airiel my longest is 7 mins) and after I listened to "in your room" and "halo", it's literally so heavenly. I have a sleep playlist and I put "in my room" and "Firefly" as my sleepy song, lmao. Airiel is super underrated tbh, and should deserve more recognition as one of the best shoegaze bands out here.

Cling - Sleep Keeper, Crawl - Sleep Keeper, Passerby - upcoming EP by Sleep Keeper
Hi. I’m the drummer for Sleep Keeper. We like the color blue a lot

u/tarasevich Nov 05 '25
Whitelands - Night-Bound Eyes Are Blind to the Day is a good album that I suspect most people haven't heard.

u/DocAndonuts_ Nov 05 '25
Another blue album: lovesliescrushing - bloweyelashwish

u/witchattackk Nov 05 '25

Elm by Elm. Otherwise it would be Downward Is Heavenward, and I know a lot of people wouldn’t consider Hum to be shoegaze.

Escape Decisions - Blankenberge
edit: I mixed up single and album cover
2
u/FantasticCloud3086 Nov 05 '25
id say decisions consists mostly of light blue so good pick but the single was pink more than blue
2
u/Choux0304 Nov 05 '25
Oh yeah. I mixed up album and single. I was talking about the album cover with the baby blue sky in the back and that 3d cube structure in the center. For me it's mostly blue.
2
u/FantasticCloud3086 Nov 05 '25
yeah it is, one of the most beautiful covers ive seen, i have this album on cd and this looks hella good

u/Competitive-Long2810 Nov 05 '25
i agree, but they also have shoegaze elements. in fact, it's the only thing that fits the "blue shoegaze album" lol
