WL//WH Weekly Post-Punk / Darkwave / Dark Synth Tips

• Panaiotis Fitsoros (PiNk DoT) “// ΕΞΩ – ΓΗΙΝΟΙ…..//”                                                                                          

• Tirana, Albania industrial /shoegaze /experimental /darkwave /coldwave duo Dina Hajrullahu & Franc Kurti, AKA I tpame I tvrame – “!NOS” single on Kaluara Records

Tirana based creative duo draws an ominous, immersive and glacial kraut-inflected industrial landscape to open esoteric portals into mysterious and fuzzy crackling dimensions where droning wavering distortions, staggering ritual percussions, and atmospheric synths stir and bind the soul of the listener with sentient, ceremonial obsessions.

• Rouen, France post-punk /coldwave solo project NICE COLD NATION “Le dormeur du val” opening track from the upcoming new album                                                                                                                             

Normandy‘s Coldwave solo act, in the opening track of his upcoming LP, weaves a wistful interplay of fluid airy synth washes and a glistening web of guitar lines to conjure the enveloping raw and naturalistic vision of war from the extremely nuanced and surreal poem of Arthur Rimbaud’s 1870 “The Sleeper of the Valley” to build seemingly soft caressing yet profoundly disturbing intimate feelings of timeless melancholy and misfortune.

• Louisville, Kentucky post-punk /darkwave duo of former members of 9voltRevolt, Stephen Beasey and Brian Cain, AKA Who Saw Her Die? “A New Year” single
  

Darkwave duo Who Saw Her Die? concoct a compelling Synth Wave immersion of hypnotic rhythms, haunted, distorted electronics, and swirling sax-like sounds around Bowiesque brooding, plaintive croons as lyrics delivered to a troubled person who vows to change but never does, reveal a heavy disappointment at the hands of hope.
