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

• L.A. based Michigan‘s darkwave/coldwave band, FOREVER GREY “Common Coffin” from the new album “Departed” soon on vinyl via Young & Cold Records. 
  

L.A. based duo Forever Grey return, after a long hiatus, with a brand new album smouldering of the band’s distinctive, ’80s influenced, lush and riveting coldwave sound that pulses and bursts alluringly with deep sadness and achingly sullen emotive energy, replete with irresistible melancholic melodies shrouded in darkness.

• US post-punk/darkwave/coldwave duo of Daniel Srungaram (Two One Six) & Dante Palomba (Casuistry), NEW TODAY “I Missed You” from the new mini-album “Gain”
  

The new mini-album confirms New Today‘s unique alchemy between Daniel Srungaram‘s poignant, and sharp instruments charged by pounding rhythms, and Dante Palomba‘s heartfelt tormented vocals to create a hypnotic, intense and ultimately rousing ride into one of the most driving, emotional and gripping dark post-punk sound around.
