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

• Italo/Spanish/German dark synth electronic collaborative project, LoveTheMachine & Fokker “lllegal OBon Driving” from the forthcoming vinyl album [TONN Recordings]

A collaborative Italo–Spanish–German project at “Casa Tonn Recordings” with the first preview, in association with Cold Beats Records, characterized by a heady murky concoction of compelling buzzing bass oscillations, crisp and tinny hypnotic percussion patterns and tinkling stacking synth stabs, to build cold and haunting analog intrigue around an emotionless, magnetic, at times vocodered, vocal narrative about the thrill, danger, and mystery of “Illegal Obon Driving”.

• Toronto, Ontario coldwave /synth wave /minimal analog synth experimental musician Ethan Harman aka ALAN HARMAN “Operation” from “Field Report no.1” EP the first of two EPs series
  

First installment of possibly more than a couple of sonic explorations into cold, dark, analogue, minimal Synth realms fuses skeletal tinny looping percussive patterns, pulsing buzzing low ends, and wispy desolate tinkling synth sequences, gleaming with hopeless melancholy, to provide a bouncy, metronomic, subtly uneasy, counterpoint to alienated bleak vocalizations, smeared by slow sprawling spindly drifts, gradually dissipating into shadows of bleakness, loss and decay.

• Padua, Italy post-punk /new wave /synthpop band LINDUSTRIA “ComeTo Me” single
  

Italian act returns after a long hiatus to rouse a nostalgic and moody combination of 80s New Wave-infused glowing loose-limbed synth swathes rife with dizzying melancholic euphoria, grounded by meandering bleak post-punk basslines, to immerse breathless aching romantic vocals with intense quivering drifts of longing, passion, and letting go.
