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

• Sacramento, CA-based post-punk/dream pop/shoegaze band, Weathering “Blue Dress” (Depeche Mode cover) from the limited edition 7″ vinyl single “Chimera B/W Blue Dress” on Sunday Drive Records
  

A successful cover version while maintaining the essence of the original should be infused with diverse nuances, distinctive from the band’s own personal style; seem to know it damn well the Californian duo turning DM minor classic in a passionate dreamy ballad embellished with sparkling soulful guitar melodies and alluring soothing vocal longings, swept in melancholic bliss. With all due respect to the myths, barely the original touched me on such a deep emotional level.
