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

• St. Louis, Missouri Post-Punk /Goth duo Gloom Affair “Hit The Floor” single
  

The third single for St. Louis-based Post-Punk revival Goth duo ignites relentless agonizing echoes of wailing excruciating guitar leads, fueled by tight hard-crashing drum beats along with thick menacing meandering bass line throbs, to encapsulate ominous baritone broods in heartbreaking drama of fear, anxiety, and pain.

• Torino-based Italian EBM /electroclash /dark electronic artist and producer Paolo Virdis “Desert Tears” single
  

Turin-based Dark Electronic artist fuses elements of Industrial, Electroclash, EBM to implement an oppressive hallucinatory barren circle of eternal tears, dropped by metronomic crackling and crushing beats, stabbed wickedly by eerie lancinating strobing synth frequencies and droning undulating bassline loops, to coalesce in sinister alchemies with dark-energy injected vocal prophecy, breathing harsh reality of pain into relentless flows of hellish doom.

• Montreal, Quebec post-punk /dark folk /coldwave duo (former members of Noyade), Oiseau de Proie “L’enfer” (Single)
  

Montreal‘s duo returns with a lo-fi dark folk song laced with gothic romance, rich in poetry and melancholy, wandering through a vigorous grey-toned acoustic strumming, to lead tragic intimate dances, pierced by weeping poignant guitar flourishes, swaying with passion and pain, to carry beautiful haunting vocals of emotional ethereal cries and baritone echoes through an agony and ecstasy of longing and fear.
