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

• Greek darkwave /death-synth /wave-noir /decadent cabaret one-man project based in Athens, Tango Mangalore “𝑟𝑒-𝑉𝑎𝑀𝑝” title track of the upcoming ltd. CD/vinyl 12″ album “𝑟𝑒-𝑉𝑎𝑀𝑝” via Minimalkombinat Records [mk141]

After having set sail for a few years for who knows which mysterious seas, or perhaps, on the contrary, after undertaking a long hiatus of existential pondering, the Athenian lone sailor returns to our aural shores with the first fruits of rejuvenating inspiration which will be part of the next album, also on vinyl, telling us about an alienated vampire longing to be left alone amid eerie horror-like stacks of sparkling icy bright synth melodies, doomy bass lines, and steady dynamic rhythms, surrounding urgent agonized vocals and desperate whines in a dire glaring aura of sorrow and pain.

• Greek Darkwave /Industrial /Coldwave /Goth Electronic solo project of SmokeMachines, aka Murder of Crows “My Heroine” single
  

The third immersive single, as evidence of a steady progression, from the newcomer Greek solo project A Murder of Crows, is a chilly introspection about addiction, that unfurls on a slow-slung throbbing murky backdrop of crisp hypnotic beats, a resonant ‘somberly talking’ bassline, desolate rolling plucks and dramatic icy bright swirling synth swells, to slowly creep over soft haunted vocals, fading in and out of conscious pain.

• Hungarian dark electro /synthpop act Post Analog Disorder “Memory’s Maze” single
  

An uplifting poem about hope in the darkness fuses driving beats, flickering buzzing bass loops, alluring synth swirls, and dim icy Middle Eastern-infused melodies, into a trance-inducing high-energy dance number around distorted ritual chanting vocals, searching for beauty in the soul’s tears.
