WL//WH Weekly Shoegaze / Dreampop / Psychedelic / Indie Tips

• South Texas dream pop /shoegaze DIY project of Gilbert Godoy, aka FUN WITH ETHER “Lucent” new single
  

Texan shoegazing project by multi-instrumentalist and composer Gilbert Godoy teases the forthcoming LP with an atmospheric and erratic mesmeric shoegaze jam with busy, peppy drums driving obsessive tangles of sparkling jangly guitar melodies to weave sadness and pain into suddenly meandering reverb-steeped ethereal tides, swelled by glaring keyboard flows, whilst numb airy vocals drop surreal metaphors for pent-up emotional angst into an uncomfortable blinding and ‘lucent’ ether of distrust and fear.

• Alternative /shoegaze /noise rock band from Japan, BLOOD PICK ME “Innocence” from 2-track single “W”

New single from the blurry Japanese band reiterates their distinct wholly 90s blend of Shoegaze and Noise Rock, made of ceaselessly vigorous rhythms, and bursting, noisy, and buzzing guitar riffs to cloak the high-strung anxiety of dual male/female heartfelt vocal tension, floating and falling powerless into bombastic explosions, distorted whispers, and frightful pitchy fears of “Innocence.” For the group’s whirling hard-hitting industrialized side dig the flip.

• Rome, Italy bedroom pop /shoegaze /indie rock singer-songwriter Wallace Welsh “Golden Hair” single
  

Italian singer/songwriter’s breathy profound voice immediately captivates and entrances into the shimmering, shadowy confessional new single, that echoes Galaxy 500-like druggy melancholy, staring through rain-spattered cloudy windows, as hazy static veils hang slightly agitated over bittersweet twinkling guitar strings and gently distorted riffs, corroborated by sinuous bass pulses and steady drums beats, cutting painful paths of yearning around sad dreamy vocals slowly dripping detached awe and enchantment into an angsty adoration of another’s ‘golden hair.’
