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

• Berlin-based dark ambient/coldwave/darkwave/post-punk project of Anna Nin (aka None), aka Glaring “Like An Animal” from the new EP “Mortality”
  

Accustomed to constant and close releases, I swear that the other day I wondered what happened to Anna Nin, a little bit dismayed, and, as if by magic, here I am immediately satisfied with a brand new EP, as Glaring, of her unmistakable icily atmospheric, dark and enveloping, at the same time seductive and depressing haze of harrowing synths, hypnotic rhythms, and haunting vocals, of consistently poignant and uncompromising emotional impact, quite appropriate in these reflective and sour days of forced reclusion. Just don’t forget to dim the lights.

• Australian Darkwave/Dream Pop/Post-Goth project from Brisbane, LOCUST REVIVAL “Grey Days” from the forthcoming album ‘PARTIALLY HERE’ coming May 2020.
  

Brisbane‘s ‘tortured soul’ delivers a wistfully intoxicating post-punk ballad of bruised goth romanticism and heartwarming darkly ecstatic melodies, peppered by bleeding howls of angst and fatalistic declarations. 

• Lyon, France coldwave/post-punk trio The Midnight Computers “Anxious” title track from the upcoming new album on SwissDarkNights Label
  

Gloomily beguiling, powerful and driving deathly post-punk racket from French trio The Midnight Computers made of gripping lurching rhythm, seething guitars and menacing guttural vocals.
