The gauzy psychedelia on L.A. trio Derde Verde’s 2011 mini-album “Moon/Mirror” comes from a lot of different places – talking in time-stamps, those would be the genteel ’60s, the experimental ’80s and the shoegazey ’90s. For the sweet single “Go to Sleep,” video director by Yelena Zhelezov (who’s also done work with Julia Holter and Henry Wolfe) takes you a lot of places too, mostly around Los Angeles. It’s a gorgeous, and more than a little bit nostalgic, trip.

This is much more upbeat than I usually associate with “shoe gaze”, which I typically do not like. However you wanna label it… me likey! Reminds me a little of Simon & Garfunkle at times.
