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

• Rochester, UK Electronic Concrete Synth-Pop duo, Brutalist Architecture in the Sun “My Poison” title track from upcoming new EP “My Poison”
  

UK Brutalist synth duo approaches the new EP with a killer slice of bouncing and high-energy synthpop with 80s vibes through menacing bassline that drones and pulses, fueled by steady mechanical beats, with dancefloor magnetism, igniting twinkling, brisk synth chords, fluttering around distorted robotic baritone male vocals, with charismatic back-ups, elicit dark and quirky vibes.

• Calgary no-wave/darkwave/post-punk band DA’AT “Death In Rome” from ‘Demo’ EP
  

Debut demo from DA’AT, an enigmatic dark post-punk band with deathrock leanings from Calgary in which shine the both alluringly sax-infused “Communication” and “Death in Rome”, the latter, urgent and rousing, unleashes from the outset a blistering barrage of razor-sharp guitar lines that sorrowfully ebb and flow, sustained by steadily lashing and pulsing rhythms, over hostile male shouts falling dangerously into the chaotic realm of menace and tension.

• Rosario, Argentina punk/post-punk 4-piece Tensión “Fuego contra fuego” from the new 2-track single “Autolesión”
  

Intense and achingly emotional post-punk moods from Rosario band Tensión, the first from a series of upcoming EP’s, propelled by a deep sinuously throbbing bassline that carries the subdued dreary and bleak seething melodies pierced along by from the twine of bleeding, sparkling guitar lines and abrasive reverberated riffs, while cold, distant male vocals release haunting monochromatic plaintive sorrow into the heartfelt flow of numb pain, emphasised further by the pathos instilled by the Spanish lyrics.
