“Meet Men in Tears: an Antwerp triumvirate of futurism, artpop en 80s-sympathies. In their videoclips they stroll along supermarkets in thrift store outfits, in their songs they grind unapologetically against the trousers of ELO and George Michael. Put on our newfound guilty pleasure "A. Life" and you can almost hear the echos of "Careless Whisper". Our verdict: get to know Men in Tears right now, before you go see them playing live.”
— Het Nieuwsblad (*** "Future Pop")
THE OTHER SIDE
“"At last, something completely different!! Thrilling, ... and deliciously eclectic" ”
— Compact Disk Dummies
LINE-UP
“No music for gloom-boys, but playful pop with uplifting melodies and tongue in cheek lyrics. When mixing these ingredients, the trio balances on a tightrope between inspiration and persiflage.”
— De Standaard (*** Future Pop)

Retrofuturists on a struggling quest for manhood.
