Male Tears "Paradisco" [Purple Vinyl]

One mere year after their previous pitch-black sounding album Krypt, LA
outfit Male Tears is back with a new 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 upcoming 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, Paradisco is somehow quite the opposite.
Eight new tracks of pure italo disco, hi-NRG and freestyle bliss that pick
up where the band left off three years ago to pursue much darker realms.
Now that the quest for darkness is done, it is time to polish our nails and
dress up for the night-out cause there's more in life than feeling sorry
for yourself. Yes you will need to cut out the deadwood but there is no
change in stillness.
So join Male Tears and their new arsenal of bangers and floor fillers with
assertive titles such as Out of my Life, Regret 4 Nothing and Leave it
Alone.
Get yourself wrapped up in one warm cover of delicate nostalgia and reborn
romanticism, driven by sounds that pay homage equally to Miko Mission and
Ken Laszlo, Lisa Lisa and Exposé and, well yeah, even The Smiths because
say what you wanna say but you simply cannot not love The Smiths.
Embrace the vintage vibes that organically propagate from this new
record's grooves and get in the mood for this new course in full-on 1980's
Pop.
