Looking Glass

The Birthday Massacre

Shimmering 80s-inspired synths meet heavy, distorted guitars and breathy vocals. A nocturnal blend of darkwave and synth-rock for moonlit drives.

It's like if a Tim Burton movie had a baby with an 80s synth-pop club.

A shimmering, nocturnal blend of childhood nostalgia and gothic urban isolation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the delicate synth intro to the crushing guitar wall on the title track
