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

• US/Puerto Rico New Wave /Post-Punk long-distance collaboration, Pain In The Yeahs, Basavriuk, and Postlooperish “Another Night” single
  

The long-distance collaboration between three artists we’ve followed since their inception couldn’t help but be heartful and stirring, where past and present, memories and sadness intertwine and vibrate, laced with whimsical romantic moods, on the gusts of enveloping synth glows and sparkling layers of emotive guitar melodies to carry a desperate undying vibrancy of breathless vocal emotions through the longing and dreaming for “Another Night.”

• Riverside, CA post-punk /darkwave /dream goth act Perpetual Midnight “Cry Dance” single
  

Based on the recent pictures possibly now a solo project, Californian dreamy gothic band Perpetual Midnight has returned in recent weeks with a rich string of releases. One of the latest singles is a heartfelt and poignant ghostly distorted mournful dirge drowned in anger and sadness, veiled in a shimmer of hopeless guitar melodies and cold-iced forlorn synths, swirling around emotional baritone croons, haunted by a cold spoken word nemesis, into a toxic emptiness of bitterness and pain.

• Russian goth /coldwave /post-punk band from Smolensk, горемыка [Goremyka] “Le Misanthrope” single
  

A relished return from the Russian duo after a long hiatus with their intense and penetrating brand of Soviet cold and doomy Post-punk, this time even with unusual cavernous Death Metal undercurrents. “The Misanthrope” is stirred by the tragic alienation of cold and haunted solemn baritones, brooding amid distorted echoes of chugging biting bass lines, relentless mechanical rhythms and glistening weeping guitar needlings, to evoke feelings of restlessness, melancholy, and pain from a tormented soul devoured by a misanthropic nature.
