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

• Brest, France indie-folk duo of Valérie Marrec (Fellow, Unamerican) & Sébastien Roué (Kobe, Quitter Kobe, Osaka), aka THIS ONE TREE “How Slow The Wind” from “How Slow The Wind” EP (based on the poems of Emily Dickinson) on Music From The Masses label’s Single Club Confiné
  

Based on the poems, replete with existential angst, of Emily Dickinson, Breton duet This One Tree chisel three bewitching sketches of blissful dreamy and wistful artsy folk with the off-kilter magic of beautifully delicate emotional female vocals over a gleaming web of impressionistic hypnotic guitar chords, worthy of the most evocative Vini Reilly and the early Ben Watt, delicately stroking and soothing your senses under strain amidst these chaotic days.

• Denton, Texas shoegaze punk 4-piece REI CLONE “Taste Test” new single
  

Drowning in abrasive yet caressing fuzzy guitar washes, through restrained distortion and subtle melody, vibrant grungey undertones, blistering guitar solo and hazy whispers, Denton‘s shoegaze-ridden punks steadily pass our ‘taste test’ with natural ease and invigorating freshness.

• Brisbane-based ambient/shoegaze/dream pop solo project of Australian musician Jade Tyers, aka  RELAY TAPES “Planetarium” new single
  

New single from elusive Melbourne‘s shoegaze musician Jade Tyers seeps its way into seductively expansive blissful realms of mesmeric abrasively shimmering guitar strumming, syncopated rhythms and sweeping hazy atmospheric wave patterns to sublimate dreamy rarefied vocals long in a euphoric daze, falling in and out of sweet disconnected altered states.
