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

• New Jersey sad wave /post-punk four-piece Demmers “Stay In The Dimness” single
  

New Jersey sad wavers drop an intoxicating mix with a clear bit of The Cure about it, blending droney energetic riffs, compelling ringing and shimmery melancholic guitar melodies, and an underpinning of gritty bass lines and thunderous drums, with haunted atmospheric Robert Smith-esque vocals, singing about the fear of change through a lens of death and rebirth.

• Toulouse post-punk /cold wave /shoegaze band DRIM “The Fall” single from upcoming LP
  

French Shoegaze-drenched Coldwave act compels a blaring rush of racingly hypnotic beats and swelling humming bass lines, engulfed by fuzz-encrusted scorching loud riffs, rippled by flickering, ringing wails, encompassing gloomy ghost-like vocals, soaring into, almost screaming, distressed cries, with heavy distorted mists from the sounds and shadows of “The Fall.”

• Toronto-based Goth /Darkwave /Post-Punk duo Give My Remains to Broadway “Cut Me Loose” single off the upcoming EP
  

Back and literally cutting themselves loose with their wickedly gripping, certainly not short of energy, new single which unfolds with a terse moody density through a droning tunnel of obsessive beats, sneakingly menacing walking basslines and piercing, goth-tinted ethereal guitar melodies, to surround choppy, haunted, rapid spoken words, with the aura of desperation one has when craving a committed, rather than a given, casual, relationship.
