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

• Houston, TX ambient/shoegaze/dream pop solo project of half of Angel Aura, Wendolyne Barrios, aka Wendolyne “Heavenly, Celestial” debut single
  

Faithfully encapsulating its title, the solo debut of Wendolyne Barrios is a beguiling and enveloping misty web of interwoven crystalline sounds, interstellar echoes, and reverberations over ecstatic vocal harmonies suffused with infinite melancholy and sublime bliss that touch the “heart cords.”

• San Francisco‘s DIY indie/power pop/jangle-pop project by Glenn Donaldson (Skygreen Leopards, Art Museums etc) and friends, The Reds, Pinks & Purples “Workers of the World” title track from new 3-track single
  

Merry melancholic moods of disharmony flow between carefree, nostalgic jangly guitar melodies mixed with soaring layer of celestial hum, whilst the overwhelmed, dauntedly pining croons dripping heartfelt irony. Glenn Donaldson always stirs emotions with refined grace and melodic ease.

• Melbourne, Australia synth-pop/dream pop DIY one-girl-project of Nat Chippy, Japanese Heart Software “Drag” new single
  

Shimmering ethereal atmospheric expansion over hazy hypnotic longings, interwoven with heart skipping beats, subtly pierced in abrasive reverb daydream euphoria. Once again a precious layer of majestic dream pop from Nat Chippy.
