Early post since I'll be up north tomorrow. Asobi Seksu are a dream pop band from New York who are definitely influenced by the shoegaze scene. Songs like "Pink Cloud Tracing Paper" and "Red Sea" are just drowning in dreamy guitar fuzz similar to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. However, what makes them stand out from the many new-gazers is their singer Yuki Chikudate. She is Japanese and sings in both English and Japanese on the album. For some reason I wasn't a fan of her vocals at first but I love them now so I don't know what I was thinking. Anyways I just bumped this album to a 4.5 pretty recently on RYM so I thought I'd share.

Low - I Could Live in Hope

Considered a classic slowcore album. I have their whole discography downloaded, so if you like this and want more let me know.

Sweet Trip - Velocity : Design : Comfort (2003)
This criminally underrated album has become a new favourite of mine. It effortlessly switches from glitchy IDM a la Venetian Snares to shoegaze-inspired pop songs while remaining very cohesive as a whole. I can't really explain it better than that, just listen.
