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

• Greek Alternative /Shoegaze /Indie Rock band from Athens, Royal Arch “Road To The Light” off of the debut “La Nuit / Road To The Light” 7″ EP via Make Me Happy records (EU), Jigsaw Records (US) and Fastcut (JAP)
  

Full first single release for Athenian 5-piece. The new tune unveiled is an indie-rock number with sparse shoegazing washes driven by steady pounding drums, sinuously rubbery poignant basslines along with wistful glistening guitar melodies, swept by hazy layers of fuzzy distortion, scrubbing and invigorating at the same time, to instil urgent, restless moods of racing anxieties around dreamy nostalgic vocals wandering alienated down an introspective “Road To The Light.”

• Sarasota, FL shoegaze /dream pop band CAPTIVE FRAME “Ferita” from the upcoming EP “Io Non Sono”
  

Adopting Italian language but apparently just in the titles, the band dives their reverb-drenched mesmeric shoegazing sound into the ‘wounds’ of haunted memories of broken trust to invoke urgent anxieties from distorted, heartbroken vocal disintegrations left shattering and aching, while floating over wistful tinkling guitar melodies and slow tumultuous foamy swells of hazy distortion amid fear and regret.

• Hamburg based, German Indie Rock /Dreampop trio Roller Derby “Starry-Eyed” new single
  

Somehow slightly departing from the Hanseatic band’s distinctive gentle and blissful indie-pop moods, the new single adds obsessive and brooding tones led by an urgent pace and sparsely more piercing guitars that unfold leaned on a warm and swaying bed by a sinuously pulsing bassline, swelled by wistful bright keyboards, to layer the desperate longings, of numb, anxious vocal confessions into simmering textures of anger, confusion, and dread to satiate the terrifying heartache of hopeless relationship blues.
