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

• Minneapolis deathrock/post-punk goth trio TEMPLE “Loss” preview track off of upcoming tape “” Vacuous Contention” being released on 10/12/19 by 25 Diamonds.
  

We already featured Minneapolis‘ 3-piece on the occasion of their s/t debut LP last summer, the band is back with a tasty preview from their upcoming EP, that it is everything a deathrock-tinged goth post-punk should be, a bass-driven pulsing dark vortex of glorious, shadowy abrasive guitar racket and tribal drumming over haunting vocals. Superb stuff, this time cannot go unnoticed!

• Rostov-On-Don-based Ukrainian electronic synth-pop/dream pop /post-punk/new wave project of Dmitry Gruber (aka Hjördis-Britt Åström), Galatée “À Qui Sont Ces Fleurs?” off of the new EP “Le Calme Avant La Tempête”
  

The quite prolific Rostov-On-Don-based artist Dmitry Gruber delivers another infectious bunch of wistfully ecstatic synthpop hooks gliding across shimmering synth and hypnotic beats infused with sensual French flair. Délicieux!

• Mexican synth electronic/post-punk/deathwave solo project from Monterrey, Vestron Vulture “Wristcutter”   

Mexican artist under the moniker Vestron Vulture is absolutely on fire, “Wristcutter” is the favourite of this week’s two brilliant slices, check the other one below, of his districtive gloomy and poignant ‘deathwave’ propelled by hypnotic electronic rhythms, frozen in shadowy atmospheric synths, peppered with shoegazing searing guitar melodies over deep forlorn vocals, insanely wicked enough to steal your listener’s goth ears.
