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

• Bristol, UK darkwave /synthpop project of Alastair Power & Alice Sheridan, STRANGE FUTURES “Another Time” debut single
  

Aptly self-described ‘somewhere between euphoric darkwave and melancholic synthpop’, the new dark electronic duo straight out from Bristol, drop their chilly yet emotional-ridden retro-futuristic debut single, where Alice’s powerful solemn and nostalgic vocals long in desperate hope for heartfelt strength and unrelenting sorrow atop of invigorating twinkling synergic backdrop of tight hypnotic rhythms and synthetic dazzling glimmers, Gary Numan style, rising dramatically along a shadowy horizon. For now, they have brilliantly succeeded to deeply excite us, we can’t wait for them to make us dance to some slice of their anticipated bleak goth disco.

• Polish ethereal /post-punk /darkwave duo of Klaudia K. & Philip Pace, ANCIENT LIGHT “Mundus Patet” new single
  

New single from the Polish duo is a cold, gripping and mysterious darkwave ride through nocturnal unsettled moods ignited by dramatic organic synth glow, hypnotic slashing dance beats, galloping bleak low ends, jittery strummed guitar shimmers and arresting searing leads, to arouse strong detached female vocals from epic fluttering waves of insight, whilst opening arcane forbidden dimensions of “Mundus Patet.” Check the Official Video here.

• Philadelphia no-wave /krautrock /post-punk band TOE RING “Repeller” from the second single “II”
  

Sophomore single for the enigmatic act from Philly blends kraut-reiteration, subdued no-wave strains and unhinged, post-punk moodiness, with a bouncing off-kilter hectic mesh-up, both bleak and hollow, of repetitive tense, rattling rhythms entwined with raw tight buzzing throbbing bass lines, shiny, edgy eruptions of guitar slivers and wandering hallucinated eerie synths, around uncanny monotone chanting female vocals’ lukewarm build-up of repressed fear.
