Teen Gothic

Hello, I really enjoy ethereal goth, specifically for the beautiful “heavenly voices” singing featured in artists such as Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Love Spirals Downwards, etc.

I am wanting to hear gothic rock or post-punk with male/masc vocalists that have the same soothing, melodic, ethereal vocal tones as those artists. I want to hear very smooth crooned or chant-like singing, as opposed to the more vibrato-heavy or gravelly singing that is a bit more common for masc vocalists of the genre.

Here are a few examples of songs that sum up what I’m looking for.

Lowlife – Wild Swan

Dead Can Dance – The Arcane

Lycia – Drifting

Eden – Healingbow

Emerald Vein – Existence

[disclaimer: I am already familiar with This Mortal Coil, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, and Soul Whirling Somewhere. The vocal styles fit, but musically, I want it to still sound more goth/post-punk oriented]

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Even further than the expected goth gloominess of many goth songs, what are some goth songs are genuinely very heart wrenching even making you cry?
