Sirenglas is a dark electronic music project by Vancouver-based artist Alfred Hermida, drawing on the cold intensity of Belgian EBM, darkwave and industrial electronics. Combining relentless analogue basslines, hypnotic rhythms, icy synths and intimate female vocals, Sirenglas creates music for the darker corners of the dancefloor. Beneath the driving beats, Sirenglas explores desire, control, and the uneasy boundaries of human relationships.
Sirenglas approaches the dancefloor from a darker psychological angle on “Still You Move,” a hypnotic EBM single that examines coercive control and the uneasy boundary between obedience and consent. Its central idea is captured in the refrain, “No command. Still you move”: a concise, unsettling statement that suggests how external pressure can become internalised until following orders begins to feel like a personal decision.
The Vancouver-based project draws on Belgian EBM and contemporary darkwave, shaping those influences into a sound. A relentless analogue bass sequence provides the track’s foundation, while pounding industrial beats drive it forward with mechanical insistence. Cold synth stabs add sharp edges to the arrangement, creating an atmosphere that feels controlled, tense and uncomfortable.
Against this imposing electronic backdrop, intimate, whispered female vocals bring the subject matter closer. Their restrained delivery offers a striking contrast to the physical weight of the rhythm, making the track’s exploration of power feel personal rather than abstract. The voice does not need to overpower the production; its closeness intensifies the sense of unease, as though the listener is being drawn into an exchange.
Moving at 130 BPM, “Still You Move” has the momentum expected of EBM while retaining a chilling sense of purpose. Its repetition becomes part of the message, reflecting the patterns through which control can be normalised. Sirenglas turns that tension into an absorbing statement, balancing club-ready propulsion with a disturbing theme. The result is darkwave-informed body music that invites movement while asking listeners to question what drives it.
