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

• Paris based darkwave/coldwave/post-punk side project of techno/EBM producer Mind / Matter, Our Broken Dreams “Give”                                                                                                                                       

Paris-based producer delivers another dark post-punk marvel combining menacing throbbing melodic basslines alongside forlorn vocals and terrific sombre guitars hooks in a turbulent yet alluring mix of gloom, desolation and dread.

• Brownsville, TX new wave/coldwave/post-punk duo TWIN TRIBES “Heart & Feather” first single off of the sophomore album titled “Ceremony” via Young & Cold Records, Manic Depression Records and Negative Gain                                                                                                                                                               

New single from Texas duo Twin Tribes is a stunning blast of darkwave action brimming with relentless goth-infused vigour and passion fueled by a dynamic rhythm section, and ethereally sparkling dismal guitar melodies over stirring vocals. A blistering, tremendously danceable, first preview instilled with increased confidence, flair and sonic relevance.

• North Texas-based Post-Punk Power band AZTEC DEATH “Climax” from the upcoming EP “Consequence”
  

At first a little bewildered about the lack of usual Aztec Death‘s distinctive spiky, crispy and shimmering guitar lines, the new bass-driven, keyboard-sounding-effect-guitar-laden single, intensified by dark detached melodious maladies, slowly grew on me, revealing new cold, restrained and refined qualities.
