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

• L.A. based Italo disco /synthwave /darkwave /synthpop project of James Edward along with Frank Shark, MALE TEARS “Model Citizen” (Single) from the upcoming album “Trauma Club” on Starfield Music
  

L.A. act with its distinctive slice of dark, elegant and decadent synthpop, infused with an alluringly nostalgic neon-lit spleen, to unleash dangerously buzzing glittering sparks of bodily electro sleazy grooves that pulse and whip with hypnotic intensity through sinister layers of haunted and tortured vocals ripping chaos, wicked laughs, breathless howls, feral growls, and eerie stacked echoes to deform and dement sparkling icy bright obsessions with treacherous lyrical threats, “I’ll eat your soul.”

• German Coldwave /Minimal Synth act Projekt Ortsschild – “Schwarzmalerei” title track from the upcoming “Schwarzmalerei” album
  

Pitch black and densely icy-cold minimal synthetic project from Western Germany propelled by steady crisp tight snares along with droning distorted bassline to cut a jerky groove in the spacey swirls of menacing mercurial swishing synth whims, glaring around the powerfully abrupt Teutonic vocal aloofness expanding into depth defying robotic echoes, amid relentless mechanical dimensions of doom and gloom.

• Gilbert, Arizona goth /surf /post-punk /new wave solo project Rare Kreature Feat. Victorian Death Photos “Deceiver” (Single)
  

Arizona eclectic post-punker Rare Kreature collaborates with Houston‘s artist VDP for the seemingly tragic, atmospheric and poetic goth-tinged new single, “Deceiver”, wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia and desperation, swinging between melancholic torment and dreamlike rapture, that passionately unfolds on the dreamlike ornaments of obsessive sparkling guitar’s emotive wanderings, to instil deep pain into quivering frightened female vocals, surrounded by layers of harsh gravelly male whispers, celestial hums, and haunted distant moans, whilst droning waves of sentient emotions evoke shameful secrets from a wicked web of glittering vicious lies.
