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

• Dallas, TX noise pop /dream pop /shoegaze band Audiobaton “From The Outside” single
  

The Texan Noise-Rockers returns after almost a year with a new single of thoroughly absorbing, reflective, and invigorating fuzzed out shoegaze sound, defined by stretches of ringing distorted guitar flows, slathered with hazy rushes of droning sweeping fuzzy washes, carrying lost, dreamy vocal angst above a staggering undertow of rolling drum beats, to evoke out-of-control anxiety left reeling in indecisive lovelorn airs.

• 4 piece dream pop /noise rock /shoegaze band based in Dublin, Floorshow “White Noise” 4th single
  

Dizzy, melancholic, and vibrant 4th single from Dublin‘s Dreamy Shoegazers that sparkles and echoes with intoxicating hypnotic surreal moods through crystalline and piercing ringing guitar tones, underpinned by rounded serpentine basslines and hard-hitting drums, that resonate and float weaving achingly emotional bleeding vibrancy atop woozy and wispy piercing cries to shift fearful perspectives into disfigured universal truths.

• England shoegaze /dream pop project of Staffordshire-based producer-musician Jamie Duddy, aka DREAMBACK “Better Late” title track from upcoming EP “Better Late”
  

Atmospheric and introspective new single “Better Late” from the UK musician Jamie Duddy under his Dreamback alias, stirred by humming bass lines, and heart-skipping beats, whilst sparkling nostalgic guitar melodies draw a winding, calm, yet slightly rippling, ocean of radiant ​​reverberations and flickering refractions under angsty, 60s-tinged, dulcet vocal harmonies, shifting time and space into pensive slowed-down moods.
