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

• Belgium-based darkwave /cold analog synth one-man project of Jan Vinoelst (Cluster M13, Messier 39), Cryptochroma “Silent Echoes” single
  

New track from the Belgian musician wrapped in Dark Wave aesthetics, always able to graft heart and soul into the analogue machines’ cold and gloomy mechanical throbs.

• Buenos Aires, Argentina minimal synth duo VINILIKA “Ansiedad” from “AMANTES DE LA PERDICION” (EP)
  

Buzzing and urgent take on the minimal synth motifs from Buenos Aires, cold and melancholic as it should be, not everything is perfect but reveals glimpses of good potential.

• Los Angeles-based shoegaze /gothic rock /post-punk /new wave solo project from Laura Pleasants (of the long-time alternative heavy band Kylesa), THE DISCUSSION “Fade Away” second single from the upcoming album “All The Pretty Flowers”
  

Laura Pleasants’ solo project embraces lush, shadowy new wave realms with a seductive snaking and rubbery bassline, evocative twangy reverberations, glittering keyboards and dreamy bewitching vocals, all heightened by the usual refined and enveloping production of Mr Corbett of Actors fame.
