Circling Back on the Whip Hand

As the year’s end comes nearer, I’m revisiting notes and such things I’ve made to remind myself of what I really enjoyed. Somehow, I skipped over writing about the Whip Hand, even though it made it into my indiepop list, so I aim to remedy that now. The band walks the careful line between indiepop and shoegaze, utilizing these sharp jagged guitar chords to encourage toe tapping, whilst drawing out vocal notes in a dreamier fashion. Their album Sometimes, We Are, just dropped in October, so you can still go out there and be cool by discovering it and sharing with your friends…like me! Grab the album from Lady Sometimes Records.

Crisp Shoegaze From Weird.

Weird. is the solo project from Italian multi-instrumentalist Marco Barzetti, and his newest single, “Forever Floating Feels,” is a burning ball of shoegaze energy that we shouldn’t pass over. You can hear for yourself below, as the grunge guitars createthat mountain of sound that we love in the shoegaze genre. The vocals are barely discernible, barely whispers above the instrumentation. Take a listen below.
