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

• Croatian synth electronic musician (previously Narrow, UZS and I/II) from Zagreb, Iv/An ‘Undercover Version (Pre-mix)” from the retrospective collection “A STOPG P ND A BRE THING SP CE 2015-2020” on ltd. CD edition.
  

A retrospective collection celebrating 5 years of pristine synth artistry. We wish him many more years to remember and celebrate. Congratulations!

• Northern Irish synth electronic musician based in Belfast, Crystalline Stricture “Cursory Glance” from the new album “Petrol” out now on TONN Recordings
  

Belfast based analogue machines’ freak musician delivers, this time enhanced by the vocal support of fellow label head Mary McIntyre, eight expertly crafted, gripping and bouncing tracks of off-kilter, minimal retrofuturistic icy synthetic sound to ignite dark twisted ominous hues of flashing and swirling glowing synth chords, amidst pulsing bass oscillations and dance-inducing beats, whilst the cold aloof female voice, laced with melancholic moods, long for a connection in the isolated wastelands of time.

• Barcelona-based Ukrainian cold synth electronic music artist, singer, songwriter, JULIA BONDAR “Fleurs Du Mal (Fragrance remix)”
  

Fresh from a more than satisfying, once again proudly fully DIY, 3rd album, Barcelona based modular synth artist gets returned the favour she did a while ago with an eerily atmospheric and dazzling signature electro-pop reinterpretation of last year’s single “Fleurs Du Mal”, from Parisian musician Matthieu Roche. Amidst wiggly bass vibrations that crawl and rumble dangerously under icy asymmetrical synth stabs and hypnotic lashing snares, sensual female longings tense and release with angry passions lit by mysterious male whispers into a tantalizing emotional abyss.

• England, UK experimental/neo-folk/industrial/post-punk/death-pop group Vukovar “Vukovar (The Double Cross)” 2nd single from the upcoming LP “The Colossalist” on Other Voices
  

A poignant slice of romantic ‘death-pop” miserabilism from North Of England act that trigger rolling and pounding rhythms along deep, crawling bassline to fuel cinematic wistful synth melodies and weeping violin-like evocative deep stretches that envelop the senses into a deceptive warm embrace, whilst sad, emotional male vocals, tormented by guilt and shame, wail helplessly amid beautiful female cries and blinding, increasingly discordant, keyboard stabs.
