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

• Texas goth/ shoegaze/dream pop project THE BRADLEY “Their’s” new single
  

Enigmatic outfit from Texas often deliver genuine diamonds-in-the-rough, seductively lo-fi, disturbingly goth-tinged, deliciously reverb-drenched shoegazey gem suffused of infinite melancholy and sadness, utterly fascinating.

• South East London, UK DIY jangly indie-pop foursome The Hannah Barberas “Hideous” from new EP “Dial H for Hannah Barberas” via Subjangle
  

1954’s Alfred Hitchcock’s movie that inspires the title of the EP was at the time translated in Italian as “Il delitto perfetto”, and it is precisely ‘perfect pop’ what The Hannah Barberas deftly craft through 6 tunes peppered with shimmering, energetic jangly guitar melodies and irresistible male/female vocal harmonies, proof of a distinctively rich and vibrant songwriting talent.

• Bay Area‘s Dream Pop / Shoegaze / Post-Punk 4-piece of Gray Tolhurst (Gray Tolhurst, Coo Coo Birds), Jeremie Ruest (Cerf Volant, Your Friend, Lavender Blush), Justin Oronos (Solip), and Lauren Grubb (Minipop, To The Wedding), TOPOGRAPHIES “Cherry Blossom” new 2-track single 7” on Sonic Cathedral singles club.
  

In the two new track for the Sonic Cathedral singles club, Bay Area trio leave aside the post-punk leanings for a classic sumptuous and mind-melting reverb-drenched guitar-charged shoegaze sound veering from introspective, brooding and dreamy, to fuzzy and distorted with their modern and unique personal edge of pure aural pleasure. A band still has plenty potential to grow and explore.
