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

• Various/Artists “Tiny Gods Who Walk Beside Us” fundraising compilation to support Freyja the cat and other animals healthcare.
   

 A worthy reminder to pay a special homage to your ‘tiny God’ on everyday basis. 

• Leeds, UK gothic rock project of Joel Heyes, aka Byronic Sex & Exile “Your Name On The Wind” from the new album “Cu Foc” on Goth City Records
  

Recorded between Leeds and Romania, to delve deeply into Carpathian history and culture, the sophomore LP created by Joel Heyes is a fascinating, powerful and strongly evocative peregrination into gothic rock realms from a deep tortured soul, immersed in obscure and intriguing atmospheres, in which profound dreariness, melancholy, decay and sensual lustful desire are naturally juxtaposed, in a majestic worship of romantic gothic soul.

• Ecuadorian Post Punk/Synth Wave/Cold Wave duo from Quito, DZINERS “Nada es verdad” title track from the new cassette EP
  

With impeccable graphic taste, the duo based in Quito draw, with an energetic but minimal trait, six obscure and edgy palettes of rough, urgent and emotional synth-charged post-punk, drenched in timeless 80s quality, a truly dangerous South American treat!

• Turin/Rennes new wave/synth collaboration Zoltan Freitag & Mode in Gliany – “Beyond Your Door”               

Italo–French synth alliance unfolds a darkly seductive romantic atmospheric tune that skips along with hypnotic rhythms, sinuously hearty pulsing bassline and sparkling synth radiations, whilst expressive, sensual male vocals, alternate with cold detached female vocalizations, whispered mysteriously in French, create a dangerously dramatic mood, smouldering in magnetic allure.
