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

• Spanish indie pop /shoegaze /dream pop band from Valencia, Ghost Transmission “Stand Still” new single on El Genio Equivocado
  

Channelling Velvet Underground and Paisley style’s Mazzy Star/Cowboy Junkies leanings, the Valencian combo returns with immersive wistful heft and yearning tuneful languor to uncoil nostalgic, glistening guitar melodies, airy keyboard swaddles, and slow lazy tambourine tinny snaps to set the narcotic, reverberated emotive pace, under deeply emotional, lost and lonely, female vocals longings.

• Yogyakarta, Indonesia indie /fuzz pop /noise pop /shoegaze trio Winona Dryver “Super Flower Scene” new single
  

A shimmering yet hazy, fluctuating cascade of noisy shoegaze from Indonesian 3-piece that unwinds through rolling, cymbal-charged crashing beats and fuzzy guitar riffs, to create a heavy haze of distortion over lost falling male vocals’ breathless, angsty deceptions, while high pitched reverb stings pierce through the whirlwind of spiralling emotions with tumultuous swaying passion.

• San Antonio, TX ambient /dream pop /shoegaze project Crux of Faith “At ease” new single
  

Shared a while ago on Soundcloud on its instrumental version, the elusive Texan outfit bathes us in timeless and bewitching immersive streams of ethereal shoegaze harmonies through ringing strummed guitar melodies and low sinuous bass tones layering with tumultuous, blinding soaring textures atop dreamy sad female vocals’ numb, weightless breathes and uninhibited piercing cries, falling desperately amid downtempo syncopated rhythmic patterns and reverb infused auras of hopeless bliss.
