Dark wave releases, week 36

This week's dark wave releases highlight a blend of haunting new singles, expansive reissues, and deeply atmospheric albums. Artists such as Blutengel, Kontravoid, and Chelsea Wolfe present new works that explore themes of isolation and introspection, while In The Nursery and Kabell offer reimagined or debut recordings. The genre continues to evolve with contributions from emerging acts like Deceits and Elanor Moss, whose delicate folk-infused pieces add nuance to the sonic landscape. A mix of European and North American voices underscores the global reach of dark wave's current moment.
