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

• UK shoegaze baggy/dream pop/shoegaze/psych/ indie band from Southampton, SUPERDRONE “Freedom” from new “The Creation” EP on Shore Dive Records
  

Although a tribute to the UK sound of the early ’90s, the new EP from Southampton‘s stargazers moves from hazy psychedelic rapture, noisy shoegaze distortion, to slinky baggy grooviness with such a confident, invigorating and gripping intensity that thoroughly absorb yourself in.

• Japanese bedroom/jangle/indie pop project/band, Pale Beach – “Enough Already” ltd. 2-track tape debut single on Miles Apart Records
  

The Japanese band Pale Beach won my attention with their breezy and delicious debut song just unveiled on Soundcloud a few weeks ago. Their fresh and timeless blend of shimmering chiming jangly guitars and wistful dreamy dual vocals will make your heart soars, now it’s ready to be spread over the world.

• Sevilla, Spain indie/jangle/dream pop quartet Terry Vs. Tori – ”Keepsake Box” last single from the upcoming debut LP álbum “Heathers” on El Genio Equivocado
  

Sevilla‘s indie pop finest Terry Vs. Tori are approaching their long-awaited debut album, without losing songwriting quality and melodic enticement, with the 4th single in a row. The addition of new wave-tinged synth swells and darkly winding bassline inject new intriguing and slightly disturbing hues to their signature refined, shimmering and jangly dream-pop, causing us to glimpse of one of the would-be albums of the year.
