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

• Savannah, Georgia-based ambient /post-rock /shoegaze /dream pop singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brent Collins, AKA Slo Moon “Home” single
  

The new single from the one-man band from Georgia entices us into immersive, introspective and endless warm horizons, to inject ourselves in, imbued with breathtaking spirituality and sheer catharsis, stirred by metronomic rhythms, somber serene synth washes, along with the sparkling reverberations, the trembling delays and the glaring chimes of the guitar to pierce the hazy skyline to encompass emotional vocals of longing and fear with a heady dreamscape of hope and love.

• Hagen, Germany bedroom lo-fi folk indie rock duo of multi-instrumentalist, singer and artist Fabian Dietz (aka Hypnotic Sleep) and enigmatic musician Sara (aka Teacherface), AKA The Fulmars – “Hanging at the Polder” from the split 7″ vinyl EP “Autumn Glory” with Hypnotic Sleep via Kashual Plastik
  

First featured, with a subtly jarring and intriguing song, at the closure of the final chapter/compilation of the memorable and seminal UK label Blackest Ever Black, for about a decade, a precious casket of obscure, mysterious and sparkling talents. The German duet unveils a lo-fi stripped-down new song that somehow recalls the Velvet Underground-speckled hazy sound from Bay Area label Paisley Shirt Records catalogue, albeit infused with mesmeric folk undertones. A soft synthetic rhythm pattern pulses below minimal, droning, repetitive guitar chords strumming with angsty, wiry obsession along occasional emotive shiny keys, to carry heartfelt folksy vocals, through a heartfelt confession of predictable daily life, left wandering aimlessly with no chances to fail.

• Leicester, England based shoegaze /indie pop /dream pop combo Dayflower “Picturefall” single
  

Endearing fuzzy daydreaming pop tune enshrouded in entrancing 60s harmonies from the Leicester‘s combo, less straightforward, yet more intricate than usual, that ebbs and flows with nostalgic shimmering wandering guitar obsessions in hazy, narcotic breezes around airy layered vocals, alternating angsty fear with whispered secrets and cool celestial cries into a bittersweet lyrical confession of heartfelt smiles.
