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

• Bournemouth, UK DIY lo-fi/bedroom/jangle/hypnagogic pop project of Grant Gillingham, aka Baltimore at an Angle “Here” off of V/A “Crafted and Enchanted” charity reinterpretation of Pavement‘s 1992 debut LP on Crafting Room Recordings
  

I too am one of those who have been dazzled by that “Perfect Sound Forever”, with early ‘slacker’ and ‘lo-fi’ hints, radiating from Pavement‘s first LP, born out from a dizzyingly urgent array of oblique off-kilter melodies and distorted scratching guitars amid Malkmus‘ distinctly wry vocals, as raw and unrehearsed, as it is infectious and entrancing. A group of international musicians revisit 1992’s beloved debut album “Crafted and Enchanted” by Pavement in 14 re-worked tracks of nostalgic bliss, spinning each song with their unique and personal style, while maintaining the DIY integrity of the original work, with 100% of the proceeds from digital sales donated to the Truro Foodbank in Cornwall, England.

• London, UK based jangly/dream pop project from singer/songwriter Graham Sampson “With Your Heart Hollowed” new single                                                                                                                                               

London-based singer/songwriter delivers an achingly hypnotic jangly ballad infused with deep despair and glimpses of hope, through sinuously pulsing bass, sparkling guitar chords and weeping piercing melodies, along with tinkling piano notes, to weave an impassioned vintage melancholy, that delves into the emotional vulnerability of a sorrowful soul, as sad nostalgic croons long in lonely heartache for the pain to reside.

• Texan eclectic shoegaze band from El Paso, EEP “Hogar” first single from the upcoming debut album “Death of a Very Good Machine”
  

Brand new eclectic shoegaze 5-piece from Texas showcases a fresh and vibrant take, interspersed by an ecstatic atmospheric interlude, on the fuzzy, reverb-soaked wall of sound through a noisy flow of distorted guitar melodies, scattered, lively drum beats, low pulsing bassline buzz, whilst dreamy euphoric female vocals, fall happily into the fluffy heartfelt radiant haze.
