Male Tears by Male Tears

“With Male Tears you enter synth-pop paradise exploring bright and dark sentiments with many electronic Brit heroes popping up in my mind. Like The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Heaven 17, Soft Cell and Duran Duran. The injection of glammy Los Angeles vibes augment the sensual disco catchiness of this frolic retro New Romantic record. Time to get up, stand up, to make your best dance moves and to forget reality for at least a half-hour.”

“Simultaneously bright and shadowy, Male Tears’ music explores the landscape of human desire and connection. There are melodies to grab and hold the ear... the throb of relentless beats to drive the music forward along with James Edward’s voice that can ache or fill with ice as need be.”

"While Male Tears remains at its core a synthpop outfit, there is now a greater representation of sounds, of styles, and most importantly, of personality..."

“Each song is layered with the classic 80’s production tropes you’d expect and does it so well in a way that none of the tracks feel too busy. You’ll come across thicc Italo-disco bass lines with gated stabby sawtooth chord progressions and glassy pads…”
- Elaflash (Sounds and Shadows)
