"Tear" is the acclaimed album by Philadelphia-based synth-pop duo Korine, released on CD format by Avant! Records. Blending nostalgic 80s-inspired synth melodies with modern pop sensibilities, "Tear" showcases Korine's signature sound: emotionally charged lyrics, lush electronic textures, and infectious hooks. The album has been praised for its atmospheric production and evocative songwriting that resonates deeply with fans of darkwave and new wave music. Standout tracks like "Fate" and "Cruel" have garnered significant attention in alternative music circles.
Korine consists of Morgy Ramone (vocals) and Trey Frye (production), who together have carved a distinct niche within the contemporary synth-pop scene since their formation in 2017. Their previous releases such as ?New Arrangements? established them as rising stars, earning critical acclaim from both underground press and international audiences.
