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

• Toulouse, South of France-based Synth-punk one-man band trait d’union ft. Gravekvlt – “Marche Nocturne” (previously unreleased) from V/A “BATS FOR PALESTINE” fundraising compilation
  

A rich compilation, soon also on tape, to point out the gravity of the ongoing Palestinian humanitarian crisis, following decades of oppression and segregation, varying from Punk, Gothic Rock, Darkwave, Deathrock, Synth-Punk, Post-punk and around, from more or less well-known bands/artists from the European, mostly Francophone, underground scene, put together by Toulouse one-man band Trait D’Union. Right from Trait D’Union comes one of the unreleased tracks replete with his fiery anthemic Synthpunk of heartfelt infectious urgency and drama. All the revenue out of the compilation will go to Collectif Palestine Vaincra.

• Darkwave /Post-Punk solo project based out of Los Angeles, Shadows Hold “Your Lips Against Mine” single
  

L.A. Darkwaver delves into a haunting spectral realm imbued with doomy depressed moods dimly lit by an emotive weave of wistful embracing synth glows and icy forlorn chords trembling somberly atop gentle, vulnerable vocals floating ghost-like, only to suddenly disappear.

• Paris-based post-punk /coldwave duo Total Resistance – “No Control” single [MODEL WORKERS RECORDS]

Parisian Coldwave-laced Post-punk duo’s new single deals with when love toxically transforms, dangerously racing on the stark urgent beats of a stark drum machine along churning bass lines, swept by dire chilling synths, swirling with edgy alarming intensity over sad anxious vocals, aching to escape the feeling of “No Control.”
