Into the Shadows, With Her Watching
There’s something eerily magnetic about Sirenglas’s latest track Forest Mother, a darkwave synthpop spell that doesn’t just play through your speakers, but seems to crawl up your spine and whisper secrets from another world. From the very first beat, you’re transported into a place that feels ancient and sacred, yet digital and disembodied, like stumbling into a moonlit forest where the air hums with electricity and the trees breathe in code.
Sirenglas, the enigmatic AI-human hybrid out of Vancouver, isn’t here to serve up your typical synth fare. This is immersive myth-making. The track pulses with a shadowy elegance, its synths jagged yet strangely melodic, like flickering lights through a thick canopy. There’s a quiet dread woven into the production, not horror, but reverence. The Forest Mother isn’t a monster. She’s something older. Something you might bow to.
And it’s that balance, between machine and nature, comfort and unease, that makes the song so haunting. You don’t dance to this song. You surrender to it. You let it take your hand and pull you beneath the trees, into a forgotten place that feels both terrifying and like home.For fans of darkwave with a taste for ritual and mystery, Forest Mother is a hypnotic rite worth repeating.
