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

• Los Angeles based new wave/darkwave/electro-pop project of Carlo Mancia, MortalBoy “Pass The Skull 

Glow-in-the-Dark dance isolation crawls in bassline pulsing menace across eerie synth swirls twinkling amid relentless lashing beats, as hoarse abrasive vocals rise and fall in a lockdown dancefloor relay “Pass the Skull!” Yet another DIY Darkwave brilliance from MortalBoy.

• Brooklyn, NY dance/post-punk/noise 4-piece MODEL/ACTRIZ “Damocles” off 7″ single “Suntan / Damocles” out now on Dots Per Inch.

Finally, the 7″ vinyl release for Brooklyn quartet, flip side “Damocles” is angular, taut and frenetic, as it is dramatic and intense, exudes brazen yet downcast urgency by mixing no-wave nihilism, classic new yorker dance-punk aesthetics and sinister yet infectiously melodic harmonic turmoil, through sudden guitar noise eruptions and abrasive dissonances, galloping bassline’s neurotic hypnotism, fueled by wicked chugging mechanical rhythms, around dire brooding vocals lost in a downward spiral.

• Canadian dark synthpop duo from Montréal, Déception “It Felt Like Home” new single from the upcoming new album “Retour De La Nuit” on Red Panther Records
  

80s horror movies inspired Montréal synthpop duo to announce the August release of their new LP, while ‘re-imagining’ a sombre and atmospheric track, taken from an old EP, through wistful glowing synth whirls that enlighten the nocturnal haze, amidst rambling bleak bass throbs and whispering dual male/female vocals, cast in underlying tension, to build impassionated desire and fear, as “it felt like home”.
