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

• Chinese indie rock /dream pop /shoegaze band Today’s Production “86” third single from the upcoming debut album on Maybe Mars
  

The enigmatic Chinese band’s 90s tinged new single sweeps slow-burning noisy guitars and a churning rhythm section to feed a hazy cloud over purely wistful and blissful sheer vocalizations. Long lost rambling rippling melodies carve emotional paths into fuzzy droning mists, waxing and waning with abrasive guitar riffage intensities and bleeding high-pitched distortions to lift dreamy, intimate female vocals drawing fantasy, obsession, and moonlight from a moody, swaying bittersweet love song.

• Seattle, WA indie /folk /jangle /dream-pop solo project of Danny Rowland (Seapony), Space Daze “Dark Side” new 2-track single
  

Seattle bedroom pop craftsman returns with two tracks distinctive of his layered, brittle and introspective electroacoustic guitar sound. “Dark Side” glides and swoons over bare winding glistening guitar melodies weaving obsession, fear, and pain around soft anxious male vocals releasing a breathless lyrical poem about abandonment and isolation. Wrapped in slow gauzy and humming synth veils, the equally poignant and reflective “Ghost Eyes”. 

• Mexican dream-pop /indie-rock 4-piece from León, Clan de Venus “La Vida Después” first single from the sophomore album
  

Clan de Venus‘ first teaser from the band’s upcoming sophomore LP delivers a heady melange equal parts nostalgic dream-pop shimmers and vibrant indie rock rushes through fast-paced urgent drum beats that drive rambunctious fizzing guitar riffs, interspersed with sparkling jangly melodies, snakingly resounding around the hopeless melancholy of lovelorn lyrics longing in helpless memories of broken dreams.
