thst Perfect album for dancing. For being creative. For cleaning the apartment. For cooking. For sports. For sex. Maybe not for impressing your hyper-masculine friends, but who cares? Just very nice neon-era good mood synth-pop. Favorite track: Let's Pretend.

vapowave_420 Sounds like a workout song Favorite track: Chained Up.

fishmech synthpop will never die Favorite track: She Lives In The Pipes.

about

“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.”
- Turn Up The Volume!
turnupthevolume.blog/2021/02/17/synth-pop-paradise-los-angeles-duo-male-tears-released-self-titled-debut-lp/

“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.”
-Karl Magi
discover.hubpages.com/entertainment/Synthpop-Album-Review-Male-Tears-by-Male-Tears

"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..."

-Gbanas and Indy Advant (Utopia District Reviews)
www.utopiadistrict.com/reviews/male-tears/

“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)

Lovestory
by Desired

supported by 307 fans who also own “Male Tears”

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack. Leading Motive
