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

• Los Angeles post-punk/shoegaze/dreampop 4-piece TER NURA “Just Chill” new single
  

L.A. based 4-piece are back with a stifling summery new single littered with deep hearty throbbing bassline pulses, amid punchy mid-tempo drumbeats, whilst sharp glistening guitar melodies reverberate and pierce mellow breathless male vocals that long and fall over lost sultry lonely nights.

• Indonesian post-punk/new wave/indie-pop 5-piece from Yogyakarta, The Bunbury – “Evil Knievel” debut single on shiny happy records
  

We do love the raw, dynamic yet melodic organic urgency radiating from the bands of the DIY shiny happy records catalogue. This week newcomers The Bunbury unleash Morrissey-eque bittersweet melodious vocals that rise and fall amid sparkling jangly guitar chords, pounding drums and deep sonorous basslines, to cast melancholic moods bursting in energetic longing.

• Nonthaburi, Thailand shoegaze/psych-gaze 6-piece LA NUIT “My Skin” from V/A “Thai Shoegaze Compilation Vol.1” compilation on
  

Born out of the work of passion and enthusiasm from ‘The Year Shoegaze Broke’ Facebook page, the sampler displays an engaging and rewarding insight into diverse sonic reverb-drenched facets of the Thai indie scene varying between dreamy luscious songs, along with contemplative introspective tunes and epic noisy and distorted jams to choose from. Along with Pink Belly and Body, stands out the guitar-laden psychgazers Nuit with blurry abrasive and achingly melancholic guitar melodies that shimmer, burst, whine and swirl alongside strained wistful male vocals in a slushy fall to oblivion.
