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

• New Mexico post-punk /coldwave /synthwave outfit (formerly Loss Of Breath), STILL YEARS “Joy Never Rides Alone” new single
  

Drenched with synth-laden moods linked with the dismal yet radiant Factory Records dancing days, when intricate mazes of depressing and wistful feelings were expressed to the relentlessly energetic beat of a drum machine along with somehow euphoric yet bleak, syncopated bouncing basslines, cloaked under swirling bright sheets of icy forlorn synthesizers in a mercurial flow of nostalgic flashes around sad, magnetic male vocals traumatic brood of apocalyptic dread.

• Yekaterinburg, Russia new wave /post-punk one-man band В.Р.ЕД. [VRED] “Визит” (“Visit”) new single
  

One-man band from Yekaterinburg never fails to write heart-rendering, moody and somber atmospheric songs, hovering between somehow warm hypnotic reverberated harmonies and suffered angsty inner drifts. winding bassline and nostalgic, wistful glistening guitar melodies laced with helpless melancholy, to frame frustrated male vocals in an esoteric introspection where one finds himself alone and sad in a world full of joy.

• Turin-based Italian electronic /darkwave artist Paolo Virdis “Lies” single from the upcoming album “Confessions of a romantic demon”
  

Italian producer unshackles a terrific 4th single that oozes wicked pitch-black darkness and hypnotically devastating dance floor dynamics. Treacherous acidic bassline conviction fires obsessive tight industrial forged rhythms into sinister ravenous icy synth slabs, while tortured distorted male vocals release harsh growls of misunderstood pain and alienation into the rapid surge of dark, adrenaline-fuelled dystopic dreams.
