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

• Singapore‘s noise rock /dream pop /shoegaze band Coming Up Roses “All Our Time” new single
  

Singapore shoegazey dream-pop band are back as a trio, after the drummer’s departure, with a more refined and cleaner sound, yet still retaining their refreshing endearing melodious quality. The new single dives into the psychological realms of anxiety and fear at the hands of a rocky relationship as sad, evocative, and fragile female vocals rise and fall in heartfelt harmonies of harsh honesty and soaring disappointments, echoed by shimmering jangly guitar melodies, noisy riffs and obsessively piercing ripples to infuse painful and bleeding sorrows along low throbbing bass pulses and driving beats in a rush of energetic, hopeful intensity.

• Austin, TX alt /shoegaze /slowcore 4-piece On Being An Angel “Favorite Doll” (Single)
  

The confessional and introspective new single from Austin‘s slowcore trio blends fuzzy blissed-out guitar textures, echoing the more boisterous Duster, with intimate vocal harmonies, to unfold thunderous drums beats, noisy, reverb-drenched billows of angsty distorted riffs and searing guitar leads wandering with bittersweet hazily intensity along nostalgic heartfelt vocals down a melancholic path to refreshing freedom.

• Rancho Cucamonga, Ca emo /noise /post-shoegaze solo project COLD GAWD “Sweet Jesus Wept Shit” single from the upcoming debut album “God Get Me the Fuck Out of Here”
  

The noise-inflected grungey shoegaze, with final screamo echoes, new single from Californian project sways through turbulent, punchy rhythms and droning, invigorating guitar riffs to dissect disconnected doubts and grovelling reverbs around the helpless free fall of male vocals, dropping into a frustrated and gloomy stream of consciousness, left wallowing in the poetic lyricism of newfound wisdom.
