Ringfinger, Wire Spine, Lost Masters

While goths are often easy targets for mockery, they’re really onto something when it comes to trying to find beauty in the inescapable darkness of existence. Vancouver darkwave duo luxuriates in those seductively dark corners. The duo of Mason McMorris and Hannah Dow-Kenny mix goth music aesthetics, throwback synth pop melodicism, and menacing post punk and shoegaze sounds together to craft a gorgeous bass-heavy cloud of impending gloom on the group’s 2013 debut LP In a Black Frame. So put on your finest black attire and sway dance like it’s the witching hour with Ringfinger.
