Male Tears
Paradisco (yellow)
One mere year after their previous pitch-black sounding album 'Krypt,' L.A. outfit Male Tears is back with another full-length and - oh boy - everything is changed! The used-to-be duo is now a four piece with James Edward as the sole founding member remaining and apparently this new line-up helped the original vocalist to shapeshift again. Remember their very first debut album from 2021 and those dark synthpop sounds? With their fourth album (in only three years), this American electronic-pop act from Southern California doubles the stakes once again and where 'Krypt' was all about being goth and gloomy and disturbingly paroxysmal, 'Paradìsco' is somehow quite the opposite.
