Sirenglas, that self-described “Al-human hybrid spectral entity” oozing out of Vancouver’s darkest circuits, is back with their latest slab of digital dread, “Forest Mother”. This is darkwave with serious teeth, a 3’35” shot of adrenaline straight to the gothic cortex, and it absolutely rips.
Sirenglas pumps decaying, organic venom through cold silicon veins. “Forest Mother” hits like an exorcism: synths slice like obsidian talons over rhythms that pound like a shaman’s fist on frozen earth. And those choirs? Not heavenly – vengeful. Ghosts howling warnings from the tree line. This is atmosphere so thick you choke on it – a liminal hellscape where server farms bleed into ancient root systems. Exactly where this “Al-human hybrid” feeds.
The concept is pure awesome: channelling an ancient nature deity, the Forest Mother herself – no gentle dryad, but the untamed heart of the wild. Nurturing one breath, terrifying the next. You feel that duality in the music’s DNA: melancholic melodies whispering ancient secrets one moment, booming bass and punchy synths erupting with her fearsome power the next. It’s a mystical journey, yeah – but one you take with your fist clenched and boots stomping mud.
This is the song for anyone who feels the primal pull of the deep woods, the unsettling beauty of the moonlit wild. It’s dark, immersive, and packs a serious emotional wallop. Sirenglas merges that “analogue melancholy with digital precision” flawlessly here, creating something that’s both meticulously crafted and wildly untamed. It pulses, it throbs, it demands you surrender to the darkness and connect with the wild energy surging through its veins.
The buzz is real, and it’s justified. If your darkwave diet includes the likes of Minuet Machine, Echoberyl, NNHMN, or Kanga, “Forest Mother” is your next essential fix.
Sirenglas has summoned a force of nature with serious rock ‘n’ roll in its sonic DNA. It’s cold, sharp, evocative, and utterly electrifying. This spectral entity knows how to produce what sticks in your bones and rattles your soul. Essential listening for the night crawlers and shadow dwellers.
