About this item

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.
