Slowdive are the absolute swooniest! As for as ethereal guitar rock bands
go i'd say they are one of the best. If you like this stuff you might also
like stuff by main (hydra calm is great), loop, spacemen 3 (going back a
few years) or even moose (perhaps not but they are excellent none the less).
It's not exactly the
same stuff but some of these bands, to me at least, have the same feel.
