Tears Are Just Glitter: 80’s Kind of Sad

Sweden’s veteran pop architects Gustav Jonsson and Fredrik Berger have unveiled their animated alter ego Gary in their heartfelt new venture, Tears Are Just Glitter. Their debut track, 80’s Kind of Sad, blends neon-soaked nostalgia with tender melodrama, channeling an era when heartbreak meant oversized choruses, drum-machine haze, and ice cream therapy. Though Gary’s a cartoon, the emotion feels strikingly real, capturing the duo’s most intimate songwriting yet—catchy, melancholy, and irresistibly retro.
