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

• Melbourne‘s post-punk/indie-rock/dream pop 4-piece Middle Management “One More Year” off debut EP “Caught Up in the Colours”
  

Melbourne‘s quartet blend the meandering bassline and pulsating drums of post-punk with bittersweet dreamy pop melodies, permeated with a deep sense of summery yet melancholic nostalgia, resulting in an absolutely invigorating yet poignant, catchy debut, yielding remarkably heartfelt and effective results. Flawless and elegant guitar pop.

• Vigo, Spain indie/dream pop/shoegaze band comprised of former Juniper Moon members Ivan and Eva, LINDA GUILALA “Será Más Fácil” from ltd .2-track 7″ white vinyl single “Será Más Fácil / La Inseguridad” on Test Pattern Records
  

A heady concoction stellar guitar melodies, hypnotizing bass pulses, head-rush spacial swirls of synth lines embellished by fascinating ecstatic vocals are proof of a band in full unremitting creative flow. THe  equally addictive kraut-tinged synth-laden “La Inseguridad”, with absolutely alluring Stereolab-like vocal harmonies, is a perfect end to a perfect 2-tracker.

• London-based synth/dream/indie-pop solo project of Greek artist Marianthi from MARSHEAUX, Me///o “Coming Home” debut single                                                                                                                                   

The solo project of half of Marsheaux, Marianthi Melitsi continues in the best possible way, with an additional energetic indie-pop twist, the elegant and enthralling electro-pop to which we are accustomed over the years: enveloping, atmospheric and intense, with melancholic undertones, replete with infectious melodic hooks and slightly noisy distortion. Pounding rhythms, beautifully evocative dazzling synth line and ethereal yet euphoric vocals make for an irresistible little pop gem.
