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

• New Mexico goth/darkwave/post-punk project LOSS OF BREATH “The Acknowledgement of Time Without You” new single
  

Hailing from the remote, New Mexico, LOSS OF BREATH return with their atmospheric moody and melancholic post-punk made of ethereal guitar chords and icy synth over a vibrating baritone of dismal emotional resonance, recalling somehow Sad Lovers & Giants, inhabiting bleak soundscape that’s at once familiar and distinctive, yet damnably moving.

• L.A.-based goth/darkwave/synth-pop solo project of songstress Tara Jane (from shoegazers Blood Candy), aka CARESS “Love” new single on Manimal Vinyl Records
  

Although at first, after a quick listen, a bit cold, fatal was the second attempt and the entrancing dark synthpop new single from the L.A. based chanteuse stuck in my head all Sunday. Tara Jane‘s haunting ethereal vocals, beautifully recalling Kate Bush, slither around hypnotic beats, pulsating bassline, trancey glassy synth loops, and evocative sparkling guitar melodies, exuding an eerie yet mesmerizing and seductive flair impossible to resist.

• Isle of Man, UK gothic rock / post-punk duo of Mark Sayle (Slow Decay) and Phil Reynolds (Phil Reynolds and the Dearly Departed), Mark E Moon “Out In The Dark” from the debut LP “Refer” on COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC
  

Mark E Moon‘s debut album exemplifies the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship of two musicians in the reinvention of the goth-rock/darkwave sound of the ’80s through their own distinctive sensibility with fresh and intriguing results. Let your dark imagination run wild through the obscure, powerfully immersive, somehow seductive and romantic, 10 tracks, sure enough, you will be hauntingly and chillingly rewarded.
