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

• Nashville, TN-based New Wave /Indie Rock /Post-Punk band Palm Ghosts “World Dissolve” from the single “World Dissolve / Stand or Fall”
  

After the persuasive guitar-driven new wave of “Amaya”, the Nashville-based return with the brand new single “World Dissolve”, consistently able, with freshness and melodic flair, to transport back lasting lingering emotions and treasured nostalgic sensations, this time recalling emotional-filled anthemic mid-90s British pop ala Babybird, through a shivering and flashing array of dazzling bright synths and sparkling guitar melodies, to build a fuzzy, dreamy realm of twinkling melancholic and dramatic obsessions, encompassing alluring romantic vocals pouring out passion and longing into the harmonious enrapture for a kindred fate.

• Oslo-based, Norwegian fuzz noise-pop band led by guitarist and vocalist Christian Dam, The Age of Colored Lizards “Perfect Smile” first single from the forthcoming album “Fake” on Sotron Records
  

Urgent blissed-out melodic slice of early ’90s tinged fuzz-pop through an invigorating, lush flow of noisy guitar distortion and warm bass vibrations, whilst soft lovelorn vocals sway hopelessly somewhere between desperate daydreams and angsty nostalgia.

• Toronto, Ontario jazzy /dreamy /indie-pop 4-piece band (members of Newcomer, Silus, The Honeycomb Flyers), VELVET BEACH “Home (Is It True)” Demo from debut single “Home (Is It True) / Youth”
  

Toronto-based quartet Velvet Beach debut with a two-track demo of nostalgic, somber and atmospheric indie-pop songs laced with a retro-tinged ecstatic vocal feel, enshroud in a mellow and hazy shoegazing gauze of sun dazzled shimmering reverberations. The opening “Home (Is It True)” sails away with a swell of lonesome keyboards to meld with warm bass vibrations and rarefied shining strums, whilst gently chiming guitar melodies wax and wane with a crystalline ache to pull lost wandering sentiments around soft dreary lovelorn vocals and high celestial hums, through melancholic memories of regret and suffering before drifting into a disorienting mercurial uncertainty of moving on.
