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

We’ve fallen as usual into the intoxicating and endearing spirals of Firestations‘ groovy and nostalgic pastoral pop, enlivened by quirky, droning synth bursts, glistening guitar strings, steady hypnotic beats, and twinkling chimes around dreamy atmospheric layered vocals and hums, exhaling a melancholic call for change into the passionate spatial heart-stirring vibes.

• Norwegian fuzz noise-pop trio from Oslo, The Age of Colored Lizards “Fading” new single on Sotron Records
  

Norwegian fuzzy pop band’s new single exudes The Posies woozy power-pop vibes, winding anxious, caustic vocals around abrasive sun-dazzled strummed guitar distortion and steady solid beats to form an angsty diatribe left “Fading.”

• Australian dark psychedelic/ shoegaze band from Adelaide, The Howling Fog “Let The Sun Die” new single

Finally are back with a new single the ‘dark and grimey’ shoegazing psych rockers from Adelaide defined by the band’s distinctive emotional and evocative guitar work shifting from droning and swirling string sparkles to intense searing riffs along stinging bursts fueled by a hypnotically pounding rhythm section, while airy, pained layered vocals unleash passionate, unapologetic adoration for the nocturnal hours, set aglow by the moon’s pale light.
