Mitra Mitra - Glassy Tears

“Three years deep in the static, Mitra Mitra return with “Glassy Tears”, their fourth transmission: 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 - 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….
