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

• Essen, Germany indie rock /darkwave /gothic rock / dark folk artist (Aeon Sable, Melanculia, Deied, hgmr), Nino Sable “ULTIMA ESTACION – EL UNDERGROUND” new single                                                         

The Aeon Sable frontman drops his usual monthly soloist single, infused with his poetic, solemn and at the same time refined dark songwriting, imbued with romanticism, drama and evocative edge. An urgent and dizzying gothic rock dance, where storming tight rhythms, flocks of swirling keyboards and glittering, ringing guitar lines soar adding further hazy magniloquent breaths into his anxious restless vocalizations, escaping, haunted with unbridled passion, into the freedom, love, and healing of “El Underground.”

• New Wave /Post-Punk /Noise duo based in London, VENUS IN NOISE “No More” second single
  

The ongoing sonic sequel of London based noise rock duo Venus In Noise continues in the brand new single release “No More” that is partially different from their debut “Dream” single last February with the basics being here again; Hypnotic and sensual singer/ lyricist Venus Gee to be battling with the sonic storms of Pablo Cassadey’s that weave a delightful haze of noise rock post-punk music. Two striking singles in a few months so far and WL//WH can’t wait for a complete record release either it will be an EP or LP, we think we desperately need it!!! [Written by Mike D]

• Lisbon, Portugal post-punk /darkwave project of She Pleasures HerSelf frontman Nuno Varudo, The Paper Road “Wish Me Well” first single from the upcoming album “Sad Songs & Quarantine” on Icy Cold Records
  

Another frontman that seems to know his alluring trade in how to balance subtle gothic ripples, psychedelic reverberant mesmerism, vibrant, wistful post-punk moodiness, and new wave enveloping synth flourishes, into the crepuscular and decadent brand new single, with lyrics steeped in melancholy and introspection, streaked with atmospheric keyboards that expand and sway with nostalgic warmth, plunging into the glittering electric dizziness of painful guitars, while intense and deep singing oozes pathos, yet also eternal anguish to breathe the final dying wish into a disintegrating tragedy of love, “Wish Me Well.”
