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

• Los Angeles, CA slowcore indie rock /dream pop duo Ruby Haunt “Moonlighting” from the single “Shipwreck / Moonlighting”
  

Since 2015 with a rare consistency,  the Los Angeles based duo Victor Pakpour and Wyatt Ininns have, time and again, touched the deepest strings of the listeners’ souls, conveying heartfelt, melancholic sentiments in their nocturnal, confidential and nostalgic minimalism. Last, but not least is the 2-track new single; “Moonlighting” meandering wistfully through swaying, pulsing acoustic guitar chords, moving piano drops and enveloping bittersweet keyboard emotions to carve desperate emotional paths of hopeless nostalgia around reflective, sad husky vocals confessing painful alienations into a tragic ripple of helpless pain.

• French dream pop /indie pop band led by Thierry Haliniak (Meyverlin), aka MY RAINING STARS “Behind Her Lovely Smile” the 3rd single from the upcoming sophomore album “89 Memories”, a co-release between Shelflife (US) and Discos de Kirlian (Spain).
  

Through the latest unveiled track before the full LP, Thierry Haliniak as always offers immaculate indie-pop quality without ever lacking warmth and intimacy, with its fresh and infectious melodic embrace that perfectly blends crisp and sparkling 6-string chords, captivating rhythms, and irresistible hooks. Shimmering guitars strum and jangle laced with ravishing, bittersweet nostalgia to bear angsty, vulnerable vocal croons through tumultuous spirals of heartache and longing to confess a loving curiosity for what lies “Behind Her Lovely Smile.”

• Aarhus, Danish dream pop /indie rock /shoegaze trio Catch the Breeze ”Into the Wide”, 3rd single from the upcoming sophomore full-length album of the same name on Slowburn Music
  

By apologizing for being delayed, Aarhus‘ shoegaze trio have dropped the last preview and title track from their upcoming sophomore LP to unfurl organic, atmospheric and poignant layers of airy synth and sinuously warm bass pulses, inlaid by reflective, sparkling and wandering spider web of vibrant guitar melodies, framing heartfelt vocals with aching swathes, distant celestial breaths, and romantic lyrics about moving on “Into the Wide” unknown.
