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

• Brooklyn, NY ambient /dream pop /psych /indie rock /shoegaze /alternative rock trio MINAXI “Barsaate (feat. Milan Ganatra)” from upcoming EP “Sialia” 
   

Minaxi‘s new EP “Sialia” is an imaginative array of diverse enveloping and magnetic aural landscapes, in seamless hypnotic alchemy of synthetic and organic, that wander sinuously back and forth between sparkling, soaring swirl of reverb-drenched guitars and dreamy vocal harmonies underpinned by solid rhythmic textures, whispered neo-acoustic atmospheric interludes of placid calm, and tabla-fueled mesmeric reveries infused with bewitching ethnic ancestral scents, to form a captivating multifaceted journey permeated by luminous alluring charm and hazy esoterism, a significant piece of work rich in gripping and immersive sonic nuances, further enriched by a triad of ambient, downtempo, techno remixes for good measure, proof of a band in constant growth. Absolutely pick a copy of the cool DIY blue tape directly from the band.

• Oklahoma City, Oklahoma indie rock /shoegaze /dream-pop trio MAD HONEY “I Won’t Go Easy” new single from the upcoming debut LP “Satellite Aphrodite” on Cowboy 2.0 Records
  

The new single from Oklahoma City‘s dream-poppers is a fuzzier, more hazily distorted shoegazey affair than the previous ones, yet equally catchy and emotional. Magnetic woozy female vocals release high breathless dreams and angsty falling broods lilting with an evocative ebb and flow of vibrant, glistening guitar melodies to elicit a sunny, carefree, summer daze.                    

• Brisbane, Australia ambient /shoegaze /dream pop solo project of Jade Tyers, aka RELAY TAPES “Comedown” new single.
  

The solo project of Jade Tyers now got a good habit of being consistently more bewitching song by song. Amid a tense, throbbing bass and off-tempo dry beats, a surging sway of energetic yet atmospheric, reverb-drenched emotionally piercing guitar melodies wander along a fine line between wakefulness and sleep, churning tumultuously under the dreamy, sad female vocals releasing coy angst and falling dreams into a breathless, dark ethereal plea for love.
