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

• Australian bedroom ambient /shoegaze DIY musician and composer Witherbride “Grunt” single
  

Homespun Aussie shoegazer harnesses reverb-drenched guitars and heavy distortion, to deal with the senseless nature of war through driving tumultuous drum beats and fuzzed-out buzzing guitar waterfalls carved by weeping blinding melodies of overwhelming pain, to drift over aching ghost-like vocals, floating detached and devastated through the shredding grey mists of eternal trauma.

• Indonesian 4-piece indie pop unit from Jakarta, Splitz “No Bye Bye” debut single via Guerrilla Records
  

Bright and sparkling Indie Pop from a new Indonesian foursome, bouncing between restlessness and cheerfulness, of guitar-drenched pop urgency, with a debut about searching for comfort in an old home, brimful with distorted ringing riffs along with neurotic piercing high-pitched melodies, fueled by relentless vibrant drumming and serpentine warm bass pulses, to rush nostalgic vocal longing through the back and forth between leaving and staying, left convinced of, “No Bye Bye.”

• Munich, Germany-based Psychedelic/ Shoegaze solo project HAYIEN “Darksign” single
  

In a boundless exploration suspended on the nuanced and liminal edge between Psychedelia and Shoegaze, the Bavaria based musician’s new single triggers muted silvery atmospheric harp glissando hints glimpse of glimmers over a soul lost in the darkness while searching for light, gliding through stumbling rhythms and obsessive glistening emotive guitar melodies, washing sad dreamy vocals and falling echoes with serene flutters and twinkling hope.
