Loving it so far. Will try to listen all the way through this week in between life duties.

Whether or not it gets the "Best Since MBV" trophy? That's a tall order. And there has been a lot of truly noteworthy guitar-driven Dreampop released this decade:

 

Tycho - Dive / Awake / Epoch

Small Black - Best Blues / Limits of Desire

Hazel English - Never going home again

Warpaint - Heads up

Swervedriver - I wasn't born to lose you

Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber

Deerhunter - Fading Frontier

The Horrors - Luminous / Skying

The House In The Woods - Bucolica

Triptides - Azur

DIIV - Oshin

 

... to name just a few

I really liked the Melody's Echo Chamber album, but I still feel like this Slowdive album is pretty much head over heels better than the rest.

I'm loving it. Never was into them back in the day, but gave them a chance late last year and found some stuff I liked.

 

To be honest, wasn't too huge into gaze/bliss back in the day... but since last summer it's taken over for me.

 

I've heard of a few of those bands you mentioned, but I've found some of my own that I like. Not necessarily all tru gaze, but they tend to have the heavy verbed vocals (sometimes drums too), and verby or fuzzy guitars.

 

Fleeting Joys

Cheatahs

Ringo Deathstar

Flyying Colours

Nothing

Deafcult

Whirr

New Moon

PinkShinyUltraBlast

 

And have also come to love Swervedriver as well.

 

For those on Spotify, I've got a running playlist I'm constantly adding stuff to (new and old)... if you want to follow.
