New Wave artists on Bandcamp

32 independent artists in this guide.

A note from this shelf

Synths are primed and the dancefloor awaits: Glasgow-based synth auteur SOFT RIOT drops Crux, a masterclass in DIY synthesizer post-punk balancing darkwave, EBM, and Italo with "disquieting and melodic" precision. Melbourne's Modern Ideas debuts with garage-crafted '80s synth-pop that embraces "beauty and pain, melancholy and euphoria" — plastic dreams humming with human desire. Dino DiMuro gets nostalgic with the sweet LoFi Man Again, imagining a return to childhood Hollywood streets as his present-day self. Meanwhile Chris of Wilderness delivers the sonically dense Weeks Like Worms, a paranoid electronic circus built from hardware samplers and two-take spontaneity.
