American electro pop/dark wave/synthpop project Male Tears (led by James Edward) have announced the release of their third studio album ‘KRYPT‘.
Written, recorded and produced by Male Tears, the 8-track record will be out on April 28 through Avant! Records, featuring previous singles “DOMIN8” and “DEAL3R“. Pre-order it here.
Established in 2020, Male Tears was founded by James Edward and later joined by Frank Shark the following year. The band’s primary inspirations include Soft Cell, Virgin Prunes, Depeche Mode, Dead or Alive and VNV Nation.
Krypt is their third full-length recording and it shows a fully grown ensemble capable of pushing everything over the top; blending elements of darkwave, goth rock, EBM and futurepop into a sound they call Dark Rave.
Naturally drawing inspiration from the Californian goth tradition (45 Grave, Christian Death) and the Canadian post-industrial brood (Skinny Puppy, FLA), as well as the best UK synthpop (Depeche Mode, The Human League), Male Tears emphasizes the most glamourous, and at once, gruesome aspects of the whole gothic subculture, bringing everything to the next level, resulting in a contemporary and cutting edge album.
