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

• Ecuador gothic rock /post-punk band Noche Miseria “Last Day” third and last single from the upcoming album, “Buildings”
  

Another absolutely compelling last slice of #EquateurColdDarkwave before the album, to inject a high-energy, dramatic, and evocative Post-punk punch driven by insistent, thrumming bass throbs and steady hard-hitting drum beats, cast in blistering poignant guitar riffs, swaying in tumultuous excruciating leads around haunted Jaz Coleman-esque baritone broods, rising into urgent screams, to fall helpless into a toxic outflow of danger and doom.

• El Salvador post-punk /dark wave /minimal synth project FACETA OSCURA “BAILE MECANICO” single
  

Enigmatic Central America‘s minimal synth act’s new single pulses forsakenly on doomy cold looping rhythmic patterns, cut through by obsessive icy-edged drifts of desolate synth melodies over a terse distorted vocal, to conjure up an alienated ‘mechanical dance’ weighted in isolation and melancholy.

• Polish post-punk band based in Opole/Wrocław, Brudne Place Zabaw “Civitas” single
  

Polish doomers make no mystery to be inspired by the Eastern European Post-punk aesthetics combined with 80s decadent Mancunian blankets of mist, with a new single replete with greyish, and gloomy moods, led by a densely poignant bassline brooding underneath cold melancholic numb vocals, while obsessive, subtly prickling atmospheric guitar melodies reverberate dim glimmers of hopeless pain in the frozen darkness.
