Weekly Post-Punk / Darkwave / Dark Synth Tips #33

Peaks Of The Week:
- Tallinn, Estonia coldwave/darkwave/noir synth electronic project of Kadri Sammel aka Bedless Bones ”Limbs Entwined” from the forthcoming debut album “Sublime Malaise” via COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC
We’ve been stoked at first listen with the distinctive artistic personality of the Estonian dark songstress, the new single LP meshes obscure, hypnotic electro-industrial rhythms with murky and ethereal early 4-AD pop sensibility, a compelling way to introduce her debut full-length.
- Amsterdam dark synth/coldwave/darkwave producer Pascal Pinkert (Dollkraut) with bassist Timothy Francis under the moniker De Ambassade ”Duistre Kamers” from the upcoming debut album “Duistre Kamers” on Knekelhuis
After the brilliant Le Chocolat Noir cassette a few weeks ago, is the turn of Dutch analog synth wizard Pascal Pinkert (aka Dollkraut) under his gloomier and darker guise De Ambassade to trigger the hunger of all the dark synth aficionados. The first number is a dark and uncanny minimal synth/synthpop gem peppered with a pregnant lure and damaged raw beauty.
- Metz, France electro/new wave/coldwave/darkwave duo Hanging Gardens “Mysterium Tremendum” from “Materia Prima 3.0” EP
The long-awaited 5-track EP is finally among us in all its dour emotional intensity and dark brilliance, with 3 unreleased songs and a new and improved version of “La Folie”, now just “Folie”, deftly blends the bleak, lush noir elegance of coldwave aesthetic with the melancholic and forlorn atmospherics of darkwave embellished by the alluring and poignant Nadia’s spoken-word poetry.
