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

• Isle Of Man, UK Goth Synthpop /Post-punk band Mark E Moon “Throw The Bones (7 inch mix)” title track off the new maxi single [COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC]

A heartfelt tribute to the mid-late 80s Sisters of Mercy’s “Floodland” era, “Throw The Bones” ignites an impassioned, dark emotional ride propelled by relentless clattering, pounding drum beats intertwined with the ominous, constant rumble of brooding basslines, laced with spectral spiraling synths, and epic, searing guitars, to carry gritty, swaggering male vocals, sensually writhing before angrily soaring with melancholic heartache, lifted by ecstatic falling chorus

• Athens, Greece post-punk /electronic /darkwave duo SheGrewFixed “Ksenh Anatolh” single
  

Athenian Darkwave duo drop the esoteric, cinematic and atmospheric synth-laden single “Foreign East.” An intriguing mystery cast in darkness, study, and a step-by-step understanding on the backdrop of obsessively swirling resonant, bright emotive synth arpeggios, grounded by the consistent hypnotic pace of muffled drum patterns alongside humming bass lines, to briefly slow down then rhythmically swell and softly bounce around melancholic yet excited spoken words, into an uplifting coda with glimpses of hope.

• Portland, OR-based goth /post-punk /darkwave solo project Richie Filth “An Offering (Reappear)” single
  

Portland-based romantic Darkwaver’s new single obsessively stomps through an icy ceremonial spell of swirling, eerie synths laced with effect-filled thorny guitars, insistently bleeding against yearning male vocals, achingly trying to reunify with a loved one, then joining with shivering high haloes.
