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

• Queens, NY indie rock /dream-pop /post-punk solo project Sea Shapes “Reaper” single
  

New Yorker musician with another captivating single of emotive atmospheric post-punk through an urgent meandering whirlwind of thrumming basslines, glittering synth chords, and insistent, vibrant, bleeding guitar melodies, pouring down on anxious ghostly vocals weighty with haunted pain, suffering under the careless emotional greed of a “Reaper.”

• Vietnam-based darkwave /new wave /coldwave /synth-pop DIY duo, Slower Avenue “Somehow, Sometime” single
  

Intoxicating 80s-strewn new single from the Vietnam-based duo that sways over wandering glistening contrails of melancholic crystalline guitar melodies, hypnotic chugging bass lines, and airy evocative synth swells, to swirl and chase each other around lively emotional vocals and distant intoxicating chorus, soaring through the stumbling darkness into light.

• Berlin-based dark disco /new wave /electronic project of duo Local Suicide and producer Kalipo, Dina Summer ‘Alien’ new single via Iptamenos Discos
  

A thick bass-laced dark electro-wave number bound for the shadowy corners of dancefloor seduction. Imagine a crew of black-clad Aliens landing on Earth using cold mysterious narcotic spoken words, icy mesmeric cries, and menacing distortions to bounce over a steadily undulating murky cauldron of ominous rumbling Moroder-esque basslines, crispy drum beats and sci-fi synth flutters, to declare ‘we are not human’ and ‘take me to your leader.’
