Based in the town of Todmorden in the pagan valleys of East Lancashire, enigmatic band The Tearless Life is an avant-garde pop project started last year by former members of the outfit Vukovar. Crafting an innovative synth pop sound that’s at once accessible yet entirely new, The Tearless Life draws on wild creativity and a pioneering spirit to present a thoroughly original musical experience.
First unveiling the sound last summer, they released the debut singles “Conversations With Angels” and “Your Just Touch” to open the first chapter of their exciting new sonic adventure. Returning this year, they now bring us their latest release with their new single titled “The Leaving-Light.”
This time linking up with Johny Brown from UK-based group Band of Holy Joy, the resulting collaboration serves up a spacey voyage of dreamy experimental pop music. Opened by the subtly detuned stretch of shimmering synth textures, the hazy soundscape rises with the soft shuffle of percussion and airy vocal leads.
Capturing a sound that’s both intimate and lofty, stuttering vocal lines and overlapping layers of voices carry drifting melodies that drape over the mesmeric musical fabric. Filtering pop-focused writing through a kaleidoscopic musical lens, with “The Leaving-Light,” The Tearless Life and Johny Brown deliver a truly unique sound that’s able to connect with casual listeners as well as those seeking something completely new.
Paired with the single is a music video that offers a gripping visual accompaniment for the music via grainy shots of a woman’s face wrapped in flashing cuts that add an engaging energy to the scenes. As this new project continues to impress with their second outing, The Tearless Life are sure to win over fans across the UK and beyond with the fascinating creative output.
