Male Tears: stories

Product Information

The song has been interpreted by some fans as a critique of the fashion industry and the beauty standards it perpetuates. 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). The artist Marcella Dvsi has been compared to other experimental musicians like Björk and FKA Twigs. Rounded out by Cooper Leardi (guitar / synths) and Tyler Kershaw (guitar / synth), House of Harm have amassed an impressive following as something of a best kept secret among their growing fanbase, leading to sold out shows on both coasts by the power of word of mouth alone.

A duality deeply rooted in the band’s music as well as in their line-up and obviously their live shows, where romantic and ethereal atmospheres collide with the gothic side of electronic and techno music. 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). From an early age, James Edward fostered a love for 80’s electronic pop music, due to his father being a predominant DJ in the LA nightclub scene. Over the years this love grew, until he formed Male Tears as an artistic outlet. I am unable to express or experience any emotions to their full extent, instead living in a constant state of numbness or indifference. My biggest concern is to maintain an image of success and beauty even as I inevitably fail or succumb to my shortcomings.How to talk about the problems faced by men in the right way ? Without becoming misogynist, without blaming women and also being against the problems faced by women ? 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. House of Harm are proud to announce the forthcoming release of their new album Playground, out December 1st, 2023. He is an award-winning author and journalist whose recent novel Cuddy (2023) won the Goldsmiths Prize. The chorus of the song, "I will eat your soul, your pretty, pretty soul" could be interpreted as a metaphorical way of saying that the person has lost their identity in the pursuit of fitting in with the crowd. The line "I was born in a limousine, it was an ugly feeling young" could suggest that the person was brought up in privilege, but it hasn't brought them happiness, rather they feel trapped in the materialistic world they were born into. The song ends with the repeated "I'll eat your soul" line, emphasizing that the person has become consumed by their own desire to be accepted by society.

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. The project has gained a cult following in underground music circles and is often celebrated for its subversive approach to electronic music. Recipient of the Roger Deakin Award and first published by Bluemoose Books, Myers' novel The Gallows Pole was published to acclaim in 2017 and was winner of the Walter Scott Prize 2018 - the Benjamin Myers was born in Durham, UK, in 1976.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.
