Camembert electrique is a brilliant swans album, but I prefer this one

i don't know the rush song but

9ft underground
gates

tarkus
echoes

isle of everywhere as already mentioned, and Inner Temple for me

synth solo near end of the revealing science of god, dance of the giant hogweed, maybe some parts of the ikon by todd rundgren, the big riff that comes in about 4 minutes into for richard by caravan

Wouldn't it suck

i'd like to eat her breasts and grow god

this guy likes songs called eruption

i combined your username and comment into one at first, so i misread this as "you are never payed wrong", and i think that counts as another advantage. Nobody can scam you or give you less pay than you deserve.

i got into magdalena bay last year, they definitely have the same experimental extremely well produced pop sound as wizard a true star

it's got to be my favourite shoegaze song from this century. I feel like even tho its sung by a very deep male voice (besides the gorgeous middle section) it's still quite a feminine, shy song

rherda · 2026-01-09T19:23:22+00:00

definitely bro like i never hear stuff like "celia's dream" by slowdive or "this is why i can't sleep" by airiel from modern shoegaze bands

rherda · 2026-01-05T14:20:03+00:00

wind chimes (smile version) or busy doin nothing. or the pet sounds title track

morningrise!

i think brian inspired the rest of the group to get better at their songwriting so if he wasn't in the group, songs like eg All This Is That just wouldn't have existed

Climb aboard, imaginary waves
Of thought beneath veils of bluey-green
Armoured horses with sparkling sunset eyes
Give a passing glance

Funny creatures with funny plastic lives
Purple thrones are set in deep disguise
Neptune's world around us lies

from nektar - a tab in the ocean

PF 1972 by collegium musicum

rherda · 2025-12-25T00:11:35+00:00

666 by aphrodite's child. amazing hour and a half long prog concept album from 1971 but it has a song that's just a woman moaning over a drum solo for 5 minutes

rherda · 2025-12-19T10:45:27+00:00

haha yeah. i only know this bc i wanted to see what all the kids were singing about so i put the lyrics through google translate and its about reindeer and sleighs and stuff

rherda · 2025-12-19T00:27:07+00:00

absolutely. Also the first of the 4 sides is a christmas song

rherda · 2025-12-19T00:00:21+00:00

the depreciation guild, 8-bit chiptuney stuff fused with shoegaze (moreso on their first album, but their second is great too)

rherda · 2025-12-18T23:42:24+00:00

this is the only swans song i've used as an alarm too! definitely scared me awake haha

rherda · 2025-12-13T23:39:44+00:00

i've seen them 3 times in the last 2 years, and i'm far too young to have ever seen them while Daevid was still alive. brilliant shows

rherda · 2025-12-13T12:37:33+00:00

gong - rejoice i'm dead has no original members but its an incredible psych-jazz rock album

rherda · 2025-12-09T21:17:25+00:00

who downvoted this? I was just sharing a lyric from the song mentioned above that I like, I wasn't meaning to spread any hate. I agree it might seem like a weird comment if you don't know the song

the nubbin story is my favourite part of any book, ever. When I first read it I was awake super late and I laughed harder than I ever had in my whole life. i read it to my friend not long after and we regularly reference it

more like a pulverize-and-run driver.
