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

• Canadian ambient /dream pop /shoegaze project of James Callan, aka Prepare My Glider “Convertible Full Speed” feat. Russian singer/songwriter gouachepaint on lead vocals
  

Canadian atmospheric one-man band hosts the evocative and captivating vocals of Russian singer/songwriter gouachepaint that glides comfortable, with emotionally crushing bittersweet intensity, over vibrating electric guitar strums and noisy reverb-laden searing flurries of hazy foaming distortion, dripping in dreamy vivid lyrics to elicit the grungy euphoria and freedom of driving a “Convertible, Full Speed.”

• Singapore‘s noise /dream /indie pop band SUBSONIC EYE “Dijangka” from the double A-side 7-inch single “Dijangka / Matahari” on Middle Class Cigars
  

Indonesian 5-piece genre-defying indie rockers put aside their noise and edgy leanings with a ’90s tinged dreamy indie-pop number laced with yearning mellow moods and introspective lyrics of intoxicating romance.
Nostalgic treading guitar stums rock back and forth, weaving obsessive shimmering somber melodies through an increasingly energetic fuzzy wandering of screeching and distorted 6-string solo-infused emotions conveyed by the whimsical and dreamy female vocals’ lovelorn and angsty harmonies. Peppier, breezing and jangly yet equally delicious, moving, and enticing the Sundays-esque flip.

• Ottawa, Canada moody synthpop /dreamy darkwave duo VIOLENTENE “September Falls” new single from forthcoming EP “Otherworld”
  

The second single from the Canadian duo is a dreamy and melancholic synth-laden wave affair, modern and retro at the same time, moderately danceable, rife with swirling and shimmering introspective melodies, fueled by the pulsing, enveloping and magnetic glowing reverb of a dizzying coalesce of synth, percussion, bass, and guitars, to lift the ecstatically evocative breathless female vocals and hypnotic celestial echoes into an intense and bittersweet realm of angst and longing until the twilight of “September Falls.”
