Male Tears
synth pop, dark electro, dark wave, ebm
super catchy tunes with a classic gothic pop sound!!
recommended songs: belladonna, adult film, hit me, cry… forever
Panic Priest
post-punk, synth pop
super sing-along-able jams, moody gothic vocals and sassy melodies
recommended songs: she’s my guy, in all severity, self control, sanctified, the entirety of their album psychogoria is excellent
Deceits
brand new post punk trio, danceable and up-tempo with emotional lyrics
if you love The Cure, you will adore these guys
they only have four songs out right now - but they are all awesome!
i love: en soledad, failures
Vision Video
if you’re in the goth community online, especially tik tok, you have definitely heard of vision video. i cannot recommend them enough.
Dusty (Goth Dad) has an incredible soaring voice, thought provoking lyrics, super sing-along-able
recommended songs: in my side, cruelty commodity, promises
Harsh Symmetry
harsh symmetry’s debut album Display Model was released earlier this year, every song is incredible
dark wave with lots of reverb and bass synth
recommend songs: like an opiate, pugilist, severance
Death of Lovers
post punk with ghostly vocals, synths, guitar, and the occasional saxophone, backed up by that classic goth repetitive drum beat
i love their album The Acrobat - specifically perfect history and the title track
Lebanon Hanover
if you don’t listen to lebanon hanover yet, you’re missing out.
depressing and moody dark wave perfect for crying and dancing simultaneously - emotional lyrics and absolutely gorgeous vocals
recommend: album - let them be alien, songs - sadness is rebellion, i’m a reject, northern lights
Ritual Veil
if you liked male tears you’ll love this
heavy synth usage and upbeat tempo, perfect for dancing at the club - or alone in your room of course
recommended songs: favorite toy, surface, gray filter
Boy Harsher
yet again, if you’re not listening you’re missing out on some great darkwave ebm synth pop tunes.
heavy synth usage, eerie vocals, danceable
recommend songs: LA, face the fire, yr body is nothing
The Palest Grey
the palest grey’s debut album Always Haunted is a callback to the original, traditional gothic sound.
if you like christian death, this is for you.
genuinely spooky music, with eerie and mournful vocals
i love: in this room, suicide, uhh the whole album

Happy Release Day! Garden of Earthly Horrors is NOW out on ALL streaming platforms, and available for purchase via Bandcamp!
I am so excited to finally be sharing Garden of Earthly Horrors with all of you. Garden is a project I started in late December 2022-early January 2023, and was born out of a desire to create a conceptualised piece of artwork, thematically linking existential horror to the beauty of nature and its systematic destruction by capitalist forces. Garden of Earthly Horrors instrumentally explores tranquility, panic, and heartbreak through the lens of darkwave dance music.
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, who I absolutely could not have done this without: stellar publicist @suspiria_pr / @mercyfulkate , and the exceptionally fabulously talented creative team of @nerdyheartphotography @nerdyheartboudoir who shot the cover art for the Single and EP, and @dadarria who shot the music video for 'Orchid,' dropping so so so soon 🤩
