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

• Brooklyn, NY-based dream pop /shoegaze /alternative rock band, Minaxi “It’s Got Me Again” first 7″ single from the forthcoming album, “The Reverberating Sound of an Absent Metropolis”
  

Brooklyn‘s band returns with a contemplative and as usual reverberant and soulful kaleidoscopic single, “It’s Got Me”, where love and longing are reborn through a hazy cascading ebb and flow of sparkling guitar melodies, distorted fuzzed-out drifts, heavy humming bass lines, and tumultuous drum beats, while beautifully unrestrained emotional vocals deliver a message of inspiring devotion into an uninhibited flow of romantic bliss.

• Indonesian twee /indie pop band Poplar Tree “vs you” demo single via forfun.cookies
  

Among the weekly indie pop proposals, it is certainly the most immature and unrefined, in addition, also a demo, but in this, fully encapsulates its naïve and adolescent twee spirit, “being the poorest indie pop is a pleasure and a challenge” tells us the Indonesian band. “vs you” reconnects us with two minutes of the most organic and touching feelings, swaying through lulling energic shimmery guitar strums to tread over sneakingly anxious warm bass pulses, and nostalgic tambourine shakes, whilst distorted unintelligible child-like vocals call out another’s playful behavior through a lens of letting the other win.

• San Antonio, TX ambient /electronic /dream pop /shoegaze project Crux of Faith “Turbulence” single
  

Texan musician adds a heady Balearic rhythmic flair to a Cocteau Twins-tinged, gazey dreamy new single that glides on a rippling and glinting sad sea of mesmerizing radiant guitar melodies, reflecting introspective visions whilst lulling on a backdrop of crisp groovy percussions and snaking warm basslines, to carry a beautiful heartfelt vocal emotion, through the epic angsty hope and longing of lyrical romantic trepidations.
