On their best album to date, Canadian high flyers THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE deliver a versatile and addictive mix of electro-pop, new wave, gothic and metal in ten potential hit songs. Mixed by Dave 'Rave' Oglivie (producer/mixer for DAVID BOWIE, SKINNY PUPPY, NINE INCH NAILS and MARILYN MANSON, to name but a few), "Hide and Seek" is a captivating trip into a darkly colourful wonderland.
The dark time of year is drawing nigh, and the monsters that live under beds and in wardrobes to become the essence of countless children's nightmares start creeping out of their summer hideaways. This album is the ideal soundtrack to all our collective childhood angst... creating an atmosphere that mingles youthful imagination with quirky gothic visions that could easily have sprung from the creative mind of cult director Tim Burton. The band and their energetic lead singer Chibi showcase their most mature song-writing effort ever, combined with an increased focus on electronics for maximum impact, toying with musical extremes more than ever before. So, do expect a lot of unexpected twists and turns along the course of the album's ten ultra-catchy tunes: a groovy electro-disco track might suddenly extend its claws and turn into a nu-metal onslaught with walls of guitars.
"Hide and Seek" will be released as a limited first edition in a lavish digipak.
