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

This weekly column from White Light White Heat highlights coldwave, post-punk, and darkwave releases and radio programming. Mike D’s Wave After Wave radio show enters its ninth season, now streaming on DarkwaveRadio.Net every Tuesday at 22:00 EET. Featured are releases from Vienna-based Mitra Mitra, whose new four-track EP returns after a three-year hiatus with synth-driven material blending minimal 80s aesthetics, hypnotic programmed beats, and lush analog textures exploring themes of modern dystopia through detached, icy vocals. The standout title track showcases introspective guitar work amid melancholic tones. Additionally covered is a Swedish duo’s atmospheric modern electro-pop track that balances emotional weight with restraint, layering mid-tempo beats, gloomy bass, and synths tinged with Middle Eastern influences beneath weary male vocals evoking disconnection and servitude’s cyclical depression.
