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

• Texan darkwave /post-punk /minimal synth /coldwave solo project of Houston based drummer Bruce Courtney, THE STAVE CHURCH ”Mechanize Me” from the upcoming “We Are The Machines” EP.
  

Texas‘ one-man-band returns, reinforced by the additional keyboards and vocals by Paris Alexander and Eirene, with a Kraftwerkian titled new single mechanically propelled by crackling dancing rhythms cloaked in his distinctive cold, nocturnal post-Apocalyptic auras, to expand and swathe in bleak sinister synth droning drama, whilst minimal robotic vocals and breathless deadly desires wield “We Are The Machine.”

• Brazilian Darkwave /Synthwave singer-songwriter from Novo Hamburgo, Camilla Sombrio “Kyber werk” from the CD EP “Kamisonne” on InClub Records
  

Brazilian singer-songwriter Camilla Sombrio finally drops her long-awaited sophomore EP rife with an intriguing blend of dark, wistful melodic Synthwave and Coldwave, oozing dour nostalgia and intense longing, infused with alluring noirish tones. And it is precisely when the rhythms become more hypnotic and slashing, the bassline more groovy and luscious, as in “Kyber werk”, the EP reaches its peak, dancing in flux with droning and radiating synth swells, and coy and sensual siren-esque croons, to drop a magnetic outpouring of rousing dancefloor desires.

• Fayetteville, Arkansas goth /post-punk /electro-wave /synthpop act Damien Hearse – “Suicide Machine” title track from the debut EP “Suicide Machine”
  

No fillers in the synth-driven debut from Arkansas‘ solo project with a gripping 80s tinged combination of danceable electro beats, sinister warbling low ends, twisted and droning alienating synth hooks, and deep haunted surreal vocalizations. The titled track “Suicide Machine” triggers an urgent ominous march of insistent, tight rhythms, intertwined with a hypnotic gurgling bassline, stabbed by eerie, at times screechy, quivering icy synth strains, to fuel sinister, fearful moods of distorted baritone broods topped off with dystopic lyrics left begging for a “Suicide Machine.”
