Shrouded in reverb, Larissa Loyva and Elisha Rembold’s voices entwine over a hooky synth backdrop. Somewhere between the moody dancefloor anthems of the Pet Shop Boys and the ethereal soundscapes of the Cocteau Twins, Fake Tears have staked out appealing territory. It’s a contemporary take on new wave and dream-pop that makes for an intoxicating listen.
