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

• Brussels based experimental pop /piano /indie pop /synthpop duo of Birsen Uçar & Pj Seaux, aka HYDROGEN SEA “These Days” from upcoming vinyl 12″ EP “Symbiosis” on Unday Records
  

Through lyrics using nature as a metaphor for love and life, amid the socio-political unrest found of our modern dystopic times, “These Days” unfurls brittle and chiming guitar melodies sewing pain through the dreamy atmospheric female vocals gently release of cool and soothing melancholia of isolated fear and disconnection. A compelling way to approach the incoming EP release.

• Ljubljana, Slovenia lo-fi psych /garage indie troubadour MORVERN // “Die” from upcoming cassette LP “Not What I Heard” on ŠOP Records
  

Slovenian whimsical troubadour is ‘waiting to die’, while back to the 6o’s, with a Strawberry Alarm Clock-tinged garage psychedelic number, winding swaying energetic strums and squealing guitar lines, blazing swirling keyboards, and perky mid-tempo drums, as atmospheric dramatic vocals harshly release uninhibited frustrations into the groovy retro aura.

• Costa Mesa, Ca dream pop /post-rock /shoegaze trio TOTAL DRAG “Honey” from the sophomore EP “Hunny”
  

90s influenced alternative rock trio from Orange County rifle through introspective, atmospheric and shimmering shoegazey realms spread over an ethereal turbulent flow of reverb-strewn hazy distortion, rippled by wistful searing, glistening guitar melodies, charged by steady misty punchy drums and sinuously hearty bass pulses, amid sad, stuffy vocals suffering in numb isolated distress. Sheer catchy and dreamy guitar rock goodness ala The Ocean Blue and consequently Riverside with an extra sprinkle of reverb.
