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

• Swedish dream pop /shoegaze /psychedelic solo project of Jonatan Westh (formerly of early 2000’s shoegazers Blackstrap), HOLY SHIP “Rabbit Hole” from the upcoming EP “Les Deux Regards” on Declared Goods Records.
  

A kaleidoscopic and dizzying blend of trance-inducing distortion and soothing melodies, “Rabbit Hole” is a surreal journey into personal awareness, that floats and levitates majestically, propelled by rambunctious, rolling drum beats along percolating droning low ends, on a vibrant, raga-infused, carpet of swirling airy synth flows, pierced by groovy acid guitar strings, sweeping atop alluring, devil may care vocals that soaring and falling into angsty, atmospheric blue skies of spatial hallucinations.

• Santiago, Chile bedroom pop /shoegaze /indie pop /dreampop solo project of Francisco Undurraga, aka No Invierno “Sufrir, Seguir”
  

Deeply emotional and dreamy lilting new single from young Chilean musician Francisco Undurraga spins an enveloping haze of rubbery meandering bassline that wanders melancholically through shimmering soaring webs of ringing guitar strings and waving strums, while nostalgic male vocals left longing for comfort in the waxing and waning aural glow of synth swathes’ warm embrace.

• London, UK emo /indie rock /indie punk 4-piece FRESH “Girl Clout” new single via Specialist Subject
  

New single for British indie punks after a long hiatus since their sophomore LP “Withdraw” in 2019; I’ve always had a soft spot for the saucy voice of vocalist Kathryn Woods, and also this time she does not fail to inject a loud angsty release of breathless anthemic rants over wiry, neurotic guitar riffs, steady knocking beats, and wandering bass lines to form a brief yet compelling punky shout out for “Girl Clout”.
