Male Tears: stories

Product Information

For several years I am quite sensitive to the problems faced by women (wage gap, street harassment) but also to the problems faced by men (toxic masculinity, military obligations). Meanwhile Skemer took the time to let all sides of their personality grow and eventually explode. You remember their minimalist cold wave deconstructions equally made of brutal and erotic components. I am aware that we must fight the problems of women, but I also think that we must also fight the problems of men (I am a man).

Here comes something unapologetically goth. Male Tears is the dark electro group consisting of vocalist, James Edward and synthesist, Frank Shark. Hailing from Los Angeles, what began as a solo project re-established itself as a duo in 2021, simultaneously moving from the breezy sounds of the first self-titled album to darker realms with their sophomore Trauma Club.That attention to detail and workmanlike approach at the expense of chasing instant gratification seems to be paying dividends after years of steady effort.

The new record builds and expands upon the three-piece’s enthralling shadow-pop sound, a mix of midnight atmospherics, 90s era jangle pop, and contagious synth drenched hooks that further elevate the transcendent vocals of lead singer Michael Rocheford. She learned to love the church and steeple and suffered harm from theist people. I heard it from her point of view, she wishes that I never knew. I cried for her and brought her dress as I confess " I wish it too." It may have taken four years for Skemer to present their new creation but it was definitely worth the wait. Walk the night with us. Overall, the song is an introspective portrayal of the dark side of popularity and conformity, and the internal struggles faced by those who are willing to do anything to fit in. MALE TEARS' music is known for its use of tough subject matters and unapologetically confrontational lyrics.I am unable to express or experience any emotions to their full extent, instead living in a constant state of numbness or indifference. House of Harm are proud to announce the forthcoming release of their new album Playground, out December 1st, 2023. The artist Marcella Dvsi has been compared to other experimental musicians like Björk and FKA Twigs. Myers’s project – letting air out of ideas of what it means to be a man – often requires his protagonists to be killed or maimed, but not always. A story in which a male music journalist interviews a feted female folk singer highlights the journalist’s self-absorption by telling the story from both points of view so that we see how little he understands his subject (there’s probably an element of self-deprecation here - Myers was once a staff writer for Melody Maker). You may think it takes quite a bit of nonchalance to do so but the L.A. duo easily succeeds at this. Akin to their aesthetics, they may seem spooky from the outside but their approach is nothing stuffy. Quite the contrary, everything regarding Male Tears is a celebration of life’s most bizzare shades, driven by some of the best dark humor you’ll find around. So Dance with me, my dear, on a dancefloor of bones and skulls / The music is our master The devil controls our souls.
