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

• Munster, Germany jangle indie pop band led by Seb Voss, aka The Fisherman and his Soul “Snowblind, Sunblind” single via Bureau Platiruma!!!
  

A Summer holiday inspired a shimmery jangle-pop number scented with mellifluous The Reds, Pinks & Purples flavours, about searching in vain for a lost love, to weave nostalgic rivulets of meandering bass pulses, and sparkling jangly guitar melodies, punctuated by energetic strums, spectral keyboard washes and tinkly sad piano keys, to cradle hopeless romantic vocals with cushy swirling sways of relieving reflections.

• Brazilian post-punk /dream-pop /shoegaze duo of singer Marina Rios and producer André Luiz (ASTROPHYSICS), 猫猫OpenBar “う​そ​つ​き” from “長​い​夜​の​過​ご​し​方” EP [Siren for Charlotte]

A project roused from the impressions and visions of Tokyo by Brazilians Marina Rios (singer) and producer-musician André Ruiz, the latter of whom we know for his dynamic and eclectic solo post-punk moniker ASTROPHYSICS. The first sad dream-pop excerpt flows rapidly with shivering immersive radiating and twinkling guitar textures on an anxious bed of skipping and knocking beats along with sonorously meandering broody bass lines, whilst alienated angelic cries, reluctantly becoming a liar, to find happiness in an untruthful world.

• Dream pop /Shoegaze collaborative project between NYC‘s post-punk musician postlooperish and Virginia‘s singer & songwriter Melanie Ann, aka Shades of Violette “Tropics” single
  

The surreal, misty, equally stifling and uncanny atmospheric shoegaze of “Tropics” drives relentless syncopated drum beats and humming basslines that stumble through a hazy swirling distorted maze of mercurial effect-laden vibrant guitar resonance, to hopelessly pierce and resonate over soaring woozy vocals, anxiously rising above another’s negative, sinking energy.
