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

• East Germany new wave /darkwave /synthwave solo project, Oliver Decrow “I Close My Eyes” single [COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC]

Fresh from signing to the usual attentive Cold Transmission, East German bass synth prone dark electronic artist unleashes ceaselessly dancing undulating low end sequences interlaced with cutting echoing crispy claps and repetitive slashing beats, shaded by lonely looping synth stabs, whilst desperate aching vocals, reverb fear and despair into an ominous obsession of disconnected visions.

• Kazakhstan post-punk /darkwave solo project moonvampire “Pathetic” single
  

Young newcomer from Kazakhstan, who although in his overtly lacking of originality, through his recently released early 3 tracks so far, shows glimpses of an unrefined yet intriguing talent in wandering on gravely melancholic and nostalgic dark strains of Post-punk, made of cold drum machines, barren stark shady riffs, throbbing bass line ripples, and eerie sinister synth stabs, while, as in the latest short and intense “Pathetic”, a cold confident vocal confession, drop doubt and shame into dire shivering glows of insight and regret.

• Mannheim, Germany industrial /darkwave solo project Endless Me “Feast Upon The Living” single
  

Atmospheric, relentlessly enshrouding, menacing Bass-driven Darkwave from South-Western Germany, that slowly unfolds in murky dusk over a transfixing bleak pensive interplay of a sonorous broody bassline, glistening pained guitar echoes and sprawling forlorn humming synths, to haunt dry, cold soulless vocals with sinister thrills and predatory auras.
