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

• Savannah, Georgia dream pop /shoegaze solo project SLO MOON “Sun Rays” single
  

A gauzy, free-flowing combination of ecstatic swirls from wistful glistening guitar melodies radiate hazy warmth and dreamy, melancholic Cocteau-esque vibes, hovering with lost emotional male vocals, slipping helplessly through shimmering translucent waves of blurred “Sunrays.” Difficult not to be mesmerised by such ear candy, definitely luring for more.

• Seoul, South Korea indie rock /shoegaze solo project of Minha Kim, AKA Brokenteeth / 당신의 사랑이 늘 행복하기를 / May your love always be happy – Single
  

Lush and tantalising reverb-drenched rapture from South Korean one-man band that unfolds cool, simmering fuzzy layers of sentimental mists, to strew woozy bittersweet nostalgia over soft and dreamy heartfelt harmonies lost in love, longing, and letting go.

• New York and Florida shoegaze /indie rock trio Blur Beside You “Nothing Feels Real” from the upcoming debut S/T album “Blur Beside You”
  

We’re a week late to deal with the compelling striking mix of restrained stridently emotional guitar work set against hypnotically breathy vocalizations with dark undertones from the Shoegaze Rock trio Blur Beside You. Sinuous throbbing bassline and achingly distorted, magnetic guitars weave misty glimmering trails, bleeding bristling high-pitched agony around long drawn out breaths of longing and fear to fall angsty into an intoxicating sunrise of rising dread.
