Dependent today confirms September 17th., 2010 as the European release date for The Birthday Massacre’s fourth studio album ”Pins And Needles” on their sub label “Cellar Door”. Combining their interests in various musical and artistic styles, Toronto based synth rock band The Birthday Massacre create a captivating hybrid of 80's electronica and aggressive guitars, curiously fused with cinematically dark melodic progressions.With the new album entitled “Pins And Needles”, The Birthday Massacre further refine the unique sound explored on the bands highly acclaimed previous albums: Walking With Strangers, Violet, and the classic debut Nothing and Nowhere. From the opening notes of the lead off track “In The Dark” to the closing chimes of “Secret”, it is evident that “Pins And Needles” is The Birthday Massacre at its collective best. The interplay of driving guitar and rhythm sections, the captivating vocals, and atmospheric keyboards envelop the listeners.
“Pins And Needles“, mixed David Ogilvie (producer of Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson, Killing Joke) promises to be a harder and darker experience than all previous albums, contrasted by the shining melodic vocals of front singer Chibi. The Birthday Massacre once again lead us down the rabbit hole, and once again invite us to explore the magical wonderland it has created. The band will upload album snippets on their MySpace site shortly, as well as a dedicated website for the new album.
