• Los Angeles-based post-rock shoegaze trio Osnova “Waiting for June” single via Dune Altar
  

Dealing with growing up through a lens of fear and misunderstanding, Osnova‘s new single explores ghostly shadow and light realms of profound restless and soulful reverb-laden emotions. A driving foundation of shuffling and tinny drum patterns alongside thick hoarse bass pulses underpin a vibrant resonant floating of sparkling wistful guitar reflections, to alternate with intense distorted shimmering washes on which glide fragile angelic vocals, rising into piercing cries of anxious longing.

• San Juan de Puerto Rico dream pop /post-punk /shoegaze solo project of musician and composer Kevin Shames, Basavriuk “Run Eternal” single
  

Departing from his usual Post-punk environments, the Puerto Rican musician and composer tackles introspective, moody and cathartic Dreampop fringes, unfurling crystalline strands of effect-filled strummed guitar riffs, meandering throbbing basslines and shifting drum beats, to envelope warm ghostly vocals, blowing and falling through ethereal mists of tinny swirling winds.

• Taipei, Taiwan four piece dream pop /shoegaze band The Whisperer “Blind” single
  

An intoxicating blend of sparkling dream-pop and breezy shoegaze from a young 4-piece from Taipei percolated through a nostalgic bittersweet romance carved by an emotional rambling twine of obsessive piercing guitar melodies with flowing fuzzy textures, to caress heartfelt vocals and comforting back-ups steeped in reflective bubbly glows of hope.
