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

• Palo Alto, Ca indie pop /jangle pop band The Variable Stars “Lights Above Los Gatos (Mystery Lawn)” from the upcoming cassette album “All signs point to life” on Recorded Psychic Readings
  

Rocking between the British glorious DIY Indie-Pop and C86 legacy sprinkled with Sarah Records, Medium Cool, Subway Org. and 53 and 3rd Records flavours combined with the equally rich melodic quality of ’90s US groups such as The Aislers Set, Camera Obscura or Tiger Trap, the bouncy jangle pop from the Bay Area collective wrapped in a breeze sun-kissed California twist and an irresistible aura of romance and melancholy is ready to refresh and energize our stifling hot summer with sparkling and thrilling moments of pure pop pleasure.

• New York bedroom /chill pop /surf /indie pop duo Cruise Awayy “Daffodil” single.
  

A carefree, surfy, sun-dazzled, soulful new single that elegantly lilts through sinuous silky bass palpitations, bouncy tinkling guitar lines and warm airy keyboard washes, swaying with sultry bittersweet moods around evocative romantic vocal harmonies revealing heartfelt memories into the loving echoes of aching emotional vibrancy.

• Californian indie pop /shoegaze /dream pop band led by Cyrus VandenBerghe, AKA Welcome Strawberry “Harvest Apartments” from the upcoming debut S/T album via Too Good To Be True Records (EU) and Cherub Dream Records (US).
  

The third single extrapolated from the upcoming debut album is a breezy and endearing distillation of atmospheric gauzy whisps, 90s hazy fuzzed-out shoegazing riffs and 4AD mesmeric sheen, that sways and wafts in droning distortions and harmonious entrancing garlands of crystalline guitar glitters around lost nostalgia and maudlin regret from airy layered vocal interplays swirling with poetic lyrical introspections of insight and catharsis.
