The original first announcement for this album (from Newsletter 386, 24 october 2004):
Brand new release on FUNKER VOGT’s label ‘Repo’ by one of Canada’s most interesting outfits! THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, an audio/visual project based out of Toronto, offers up a lot of healthy experimentation in concept musicianship. The variation of artistic and multimedia talents possessed by the band members, has made for a unique overall presence, while still maintaining a cohesive theme. In their development, the band have discovered a very neutral and compromising ground between the light and dark facets of music - blending fantasy with dark realism, and the paradoxes of horror with humour, love with irony etc...

Parallel imagery aside, the bands character development plays a crucial role in the project. All founding and current members of the outfit have assumed monikers that play into the dark elements of fantasy and childhood, the core foundation of the band. The project’s members name as diverse influences as Nine Inch Nails, Kraftwerk, Curve, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, The Cure, Frontline Assembly, U2, DJ Hell and many others…
