Sonic Seducer Magazine
Review and interview (March 2025): “The tracks are driven between synthpop beats and subtle industrial pop elements that produce a strong, atmospheric contrast. From the pulsating gloom of “Trick or Treat” to the hypnotic-seductive “Tell You With My Eyes” to the explosive “Jealousy looks Good On Me,” which is reminiscent of the aggressive industrial pop of the 90s, the EP presents itself as sonically multifaceted and surprisingly variable.”

Noise Beneath the Show
Review (March 6, 2025): “Halloween ‘s trajectory goes through the brooding, pulsing opening track, “Trick Or Treat” to the seductive, shadowy anthem, “Tell You With My Eyes”, then closing with “Jealousy Looks Good On Me”, a high-octane fusion of ’90s industrial-pop that balances chaotic aggression with razor-sharp melodic hooks.”

Peek a Boo Magazine
Interview (March 13, 2025): “We embrace MIDI, but typically use actual synths and an electronic drumset to get things started. The sounds we start with often get replaced with either hardware synths, drum machines, soft synths, guitar reamping etc. The studio is alway evolving but our current launching pads have been the Roland TR-8S, Jupiter-X, Korg SV2 and a rotation of mono-synths.”
