Teen Gothic

Hey. I'm looking for albums or tracks with specific guitar sound. My absolute benchmarks are Cocteau Twins — "Shallow Then Hallo" and The Cure — "One Hundred Years". I need the guitar to be the absolute main focus of the mix. It must play a primitive, bleak, minimalistic riff with a heavy, "rusty", "wet" flanger or chorus drowned in a massive, cavernous studio reverb. Please avoid dry, angular post-punk and any boring, uninspired goth rock. I do not want theatrical, high-pitched, or shrieky vocals that ruin the atmosphere. I just want that heavy, massive, wet guitar wall of sound in an empty room with buried, dark, or detached vocals. Can be 80s, 90s, or modern coldwave/darkwave/shoegaze. Any hidden gems?

Just back from seeing Rosegarden Funeral Party in Manchester, supported by the excellent Empty Page.

For the last song they brought on Rosie Garland, which was kind of epic.

If you get chance to see this band live, well please do, you won't be disappointed. Leah's voice is incredible.

Quick weird aside (that may not be quick at all)

I have a brain tumour that kind of fucks with my hearing. (think cursed childrens nursery rhyme music and you won't be far off) I still try to support and see live music whenever I can. Leah's voice somehow managed to pierce through all the distortion and weirdness i usually get. It was like some kind of fucking miracle. I've never heard anything so clear, it was like magic or something

After the gig I queued up because I wanted to share this with them, because it was kind of immense for me. Leah was so kind and emotional about it.

It's gonna take a while to come down from this high.

Apologies for formatting / line break mess, typing this on my phone and my head is exhausted.

Hello,

We are Thin Eater from Gothenburg, Sweden. Yesterday we released our second album Incisor. We are a duo with Anders on vocals and synths, and Martin on guitar and synths. We have played live several times in Sweden the last years and are looking for more opportunities to play live.

Hope you enjoy the album. Available on CD and digitally here:

Can you guys suggest me ethereal wave goth bands similar to claire voyant, lycia and dead can dance?

I also wanna know some goth bands with opera elements.

Find these, on vinyl or cd, and if you can track down the book that went with Volume One, even better. Thank me later 😉

My first dedicated goth look as a new member in the community (to go see the Backrooms movie yayyyy Kane pixels!!!)

Question for you all:
Goth is music based, but not entirely music — what else do you believe makes Goth what it is?
I heard a take I really liked that said it's also an outlook. To be goth is to embrace the strange and morbid and taboo, to be weird and to love that you are.

p.s., just joined this subreddit so I'm still getting familiar with the rules. trying my best to follow them, but please point me in the right direction if I'm doing something wrong!
