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

• Canadian darkwave/post-punk duo from Hamilton, CONCAVITY “Spectrum” first single from the forthcoming album due early 2021.
  

Canadian duo renews their personal exploration into obscure, evocative and sultry sonic landscapes venturing with freshness and skill into already familiar but always tempting and haunting realms, as the strident trumpets-like sounds of “Know When to Quit”, from the previous EP, already showed a glimpse. The shadowy cinematic auras of “Spectrum” breathe of gothic vibes, amidst affliction, sin and redemption, into twangy guitar strings lingering with buzzing reverb, slow dramatic drum beats, and frailly haunting female vocals that soothe in painful longing, among eerie whistles and hums, to bring forth a sense of tragic beauty left bleeding into a shattered dreamscape.

• New York minimal wave/synth project by one half of Xeno & Oaklander, Sean McBride, aka MARTIAL CANTEREL “Remake the World” from “Horizon Ltd.” vinyl 12″ EP on Objet Trouvé
  

• Seattle, WA goth/new wave/darkwave/coldwave project of Tony D’Oporto, aka Suffering For Kisses “Ashes” new single
  

Dramatically caressing and gloomily alluring new single from Seattle-based darkwaver triggers by lashing off-tempo mechanical rhythms laced with bleak gurgling bassline, topped by glistening reverb-strewn guitar wails, oozing ominous, sinister moods heightened by airy atmospheric layers of wavering and droning synth washes, as dismal detached male baritone vocals unveil a submissive life of perpetual slavery.
