Glassy Tears

Next up on Feral Child is the wonderful new full length from mighty electronic duo Mitra Mitra; hailing from the UK and New Zealand- and now based in Vienna. The new record “Glassy Tears” is a split label affair: The UK and US via Feral Child and Europe via their own Micromort imprint.
 

“Three years deep in the static, Mitra Mitra return with Glassy Tears, their fourth transmission, pressed on blood-red vinyl and wrapped in a matching red, reverse board sleeve: an abstract, disorienting image that hints at a Viennese lift shaft without ever fully revealing it. All suggestion, no escape.

 They’ve moved beyond the minimal synth tag into something more unstable—mutant dancefloor synthpop. The backbone is still there: Mahk Rumbae’s skeletal, obsessive rhythms and corroded melodies, cycling with machine precision, humming like circuitry pushed too far.

 Violet Candide’s voice cuts through in that signature near-spoken monotone—detached, intimate, and faintly unreal. The lyrics draw from ’60s and ’70s science fiction and the ghosts of the past, broken into fragments that feel half-remembered, half-lost.
 

It’s more immediate, more kinetic—but no less strange. The surface invites movement, while something colder lingers underneath. Glassy Tears doesn’t resolve—it echoes”.
 

A wonderful record, each with a download coupon- hugely recommended to all fans of minimal electronica, coldwave, synthpop, call it what you will…. From the early Mute sounds of The Normal, Fad Gadget, D.A.F et al to early Cabs, John Bender and early Some Bizarre etc….
