• Hamilton, UK goth/darkwave project of Lea Torn, THE SECRET EXPERIMENT “Emptiness” title track from the new EP “Emptiness”
  

Lea Torn‘s prolific and mysterious project, properly named The Secret Experiment, lures increasingly from week to week with drops of darkwave utterly mesmerizing in their brooding dark splendour, between solemn and hypnotic rhythms, brittle tinkling synth chimes in a fascinating rise and fall of emotional intensity along with haunting, ghostly, atmospheric male vocals exuding magnetic momentum of excruciating pain.

• Kyiv, Ukraine synthwave /darkwave /post-punk singer, songwriter and musician, The Room Without Sun “The Falling” from the new 3-track EP “Decades Of Darkness”
  

After over two years of absence, Ukrainian one-man-band is back with his melancholic and introspective blend of 80s tinged synth wave and post-punk, steeped in monochromatic meditative and minimal grey tones, instilled by bleak deep bass undulations with glowing icy synth washes and sparkling yet poignant guitar chords over intense, emotional male vocals, falling hopelessly into an impassioned croon of swirling sadness and mesmerizing dark romance.

• Ventura, Ca post-punk /deathrock 4-piece Detoxi – ‘In Laughter’ title track from upcoming “In Laughter” EP vinyl 12″
  

Californian deathrock 4-piece steadily weaves impassioned Marr-esque jangly chiming guitar strings that sew bleeding emotions through punchy steady drum beats and a low, meandering bass line, while anxious, atmospheric male vocals breathlessly drop toxic memories into a communal catharsis for modern dystopic blues, “In Laughter.”
