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

• Madrid based, Santa Cruz De Tenerife-native kraut /shoegaze /noise pop solo project DUELE “Dependientes” single
  

An enticing mercurial debut single from Spain with an intriguing winding combination of shoegaze hazy distorted guitar textures and chiming swirling keyboard echoes to build churning bittersweet dimensions over haunted, pain-filled vocals, longing in hopeless ‘dependencies’, suddenly speeding up with a droning swarm of dynamic motorik pace and insistent flashing and droning synthetic flurry, to stridently collapse reality into a shredded shame of tattered emotions.

• French shoegaze /indie pop solo project Maud Anyways “That Way” single
  

Already unveiled in video format a few days ago, an experimental new single from the French one-woman indie band that blends an energetic tumbling waterfall of rolling syncopated broken beats, cloaked in a serene flow of gauzy synths washes, pierced by obsessive dissonant guitar strains to resonate against the wonderfully evocative icy elated vocals waxing and waning in the agony and ecstasy of sheer mesmeric bliss.

• Paris, France dream pop /indie rock /shoegaze band Rumuolumeni “Take It Further” from the debut EP “Kopfkino”
  

Enigmatic French outfit debut with three slow glacial-paced slabs of equally abrasive and sludgy, yet hypnotic and atmospheric heavy shoegaze to ooze ominously dense and grungy distorted guitar riffs, haunted by soaring, seemingly serene, yet dramatically evocative synth swathes, amid steady tinny drums and buzzing bass tones, to submerge undiscernible, dreamy distorted vocals into a toxic sea of swarming melancholic and angsty edge.
