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

• San Antonio, TX post-grunge /noise rock /shoegaze solo project BLINDLACE “Lady Lust” from the sophomore 2-track single “Servant to flesh”
  

As clearly stated, inspired by the shoegazing noise-pop of Bay Area outfit Whirr from their final LP, “Feels like you”, Blindface‘s sophomore single combines invigorating noise, delicate emotive male/female vocal layers and rarefied melodies corroborated by a dense feeling of sadness. A nocturnal, desolate and bittersweet lullaby that weaves regretful, dreamy fuzzy guitar blankets, wafting in soft, somber, wandering introspections and agonising piercing ripples, through guilty confessions of lust and fear to encapsulate deep, dark emotional moods of misplaced anger and shame into a lyrical rebirth of cathartic melancholy.

• Austin, TX experimental /shoegaze /dream pop female artist DOTTIE “Flood” new single
  

With sincere pleasure, we welcome the return of the Austin based artist after a challenging personal period, with a new atmospheric shoegazing single, “Flood”, rife with scintillating and vibrant notes full of intense heartfelt feelings that ceaselessly stir the soul and imagination. Keen, emotional, and reverberant guitar resonances swirl, swell, and flutter in dramatic encapsulating melodies of reflective introspection, to lift high, soft ethereal vocals into angsty breathes of free-floating catharsis. Dottie builds incisively mesmerizing wistful auras of moving intimacy with a sheer strength to pull beauty from pain by offering luminous rays of light and hope for the future.

• Nashville based, Springfield, Oh native indie pop /surf /dreampop singer-songwriter Jack Landess “Mocean” single                                                                                                                                                                         

An endearing sun-baked combination of reflective dreamy moods and crystalline surf vibes, introduced by atmospheric crashing ocean swells, drive calm and clarity into a bittersweet ignition of wandering, carefree strummed and jangly guitar strings, swept in obsessive emotions around the detached angst of breathless vocal longings, left wishing for endless memories amid the ebb and flow of glistening waves.
