WÆE is the name of a new band formed by Mikael Carlsson (The Honeydrips) and Mathias Nilsson (Twig) who are supposedly going for a dub/black-metal sound according to this article, but in actuality are just playing the same old low-key twee you'd expect, albeit with a bit of extra delay and some shitty, trebly distortion. Listen to the duo's debut EP "Resa till mark" at their website: https://waee.tumblr.com/
