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

• Spanish coldwave /darkwave solo project, Ingreso Cadáver “Desalmados” single                                         

Newcomer one-man band from Spain delivers an atmospheric chasm of cold Darkwave gloom, cloaked in doom and melancholy, that fuels a murky dim veil of steady crashing beats interlocked with sharp clicking clave-like rhythm patterns, hypnotic, throbbing bass lines, buzzing synth FX, obsessive poignant abysmal guitar flourishes, and numb detached vocals, walking soulless and dead through the bustling city lights.

• Hungary darkwave /post-punk project kékmandarin “A Teremtő már nem békül” single                       

The fourth single, “The Creator no longer makes peace”, by the enigmatic Hungarian project unleashes an uncanny, driving Cure-sque 4-note bassline that rumbles and pulses hauntingly, crawling through skipping drum beats and eerie glistening and scorching guitar riffs around dire, emotional vocal suffering, to deliver an apocalyptic poem wept in shame, agony and defeat.

• San Juan, Puerto Rico shoegaze /darkwave /post-punk duo (FKA The Dead Souls), Ritual Desire “Fires Around Me” single                                                                                                                                                       

After a 2021 debut single steeped in reverb-drenched shoegaze textures, return more effective than before, with sparkling and unflinching effect-laden booming 6-string urgency and deep sonorous vocal drama recalling the epic tones of early Chameleons, through a burst of pent-up tension injected by somber anthemic ringing guitar echoes, underlied by syncopated drum beats, and grumbling bass lines, to hiss and swarm around aching, haunted vocals and falling cries, trying desperately to hold on amid a raging storm of fiery disenchanted passion.
