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

• English  5-piece Jangle /Indie Pop guitar band The Shop Window “It’s A High” from the upcoming third double album “Daysdream” [Jangle Shop Records]

Back with an additional member and the announcement of an upcoming multifaceted sounding double album that promises to be intriguing, the band’s captivating first teaser, both sparkling and caressing, steeped in nostalgic summer breezes, vibrates with C86 sheen and fizzing 60s vibes in equal measure, swaying between striking, twinkling jangly guitar melodies and bittersweet romantic vocal harmonies, to burst and end with stirring trumpet motifs in glorious style.

• Birmingham UK post-punk /indie rock /dream pop /shoegaze singer-songwriter Oliver Beardmore “The Risk” single
  

Brand new single for the highly talented Brummie songwriter, a nostalgic heartfelt love song, infused with intimacy and introspection, palpitates over an intense transcendental lilting flow of sparkling six-string melodies to carry languid lovelorn vocals, longing and aching to be understood, through swaying distorted riffs of passion, into brighter emotional horizons of acceptance and joy.

• Kolkata, India dream pop /synth-pop band French Girlfriends “He Said, She Said” debut single
  

Met around 5 years ago as part of a promising indie/dream pop band called Nilein, Indian electronic producer Subhas Mazumdar returns with a new moniker, French Girlfriends, and a darker, moody and atmospheric sound closer to Synthpop, that drifts ceaselessly in and out of lights and shadows, urgently throbbing its way through mechanical racing beats, murky droning basslines and whimsical synth flares, around dreamy, disconnected “He Said She Said” mental banter.
