Album Description
Available in:
Hide and Seek is the fifth studio album by Canadian electronic rock band The Birthday Massacre.

In a press release statement, the album was described by the band as being "darker" lyrically than previous records, a quality that was attributed to a sense of tension and a rushed urgency that was felt during the writing and recording process. During the recording process it was learned that lead vocalist Chibi had developed polyps, which in effect, altered some of the qualities of her voice during the album's final recording. In an interview with Auxiliary Magazine, the album's theme was described by the band as being loosely based on Chibi's fascination with unsolved murder mysteries, the idea of the city, and death; particularly, the thirty-year-old mystery of a missing girl. The song "Leaving Tonight" in particular is loosely inspired by the unsolved kidnapping/murder of Christine Jessop.

Regarding the writing process, Chibi stated in a December 2012 interview with The Weekender that lyrics were challenging to write.

In the same interview, she explained that recording was also straining for her voice, even after quitting smoking. On the stress of her health conditions and meeting the recording deadlines, Chibi commented: "We were able to achieve some really interesting stuff... There's a lot of anger or frustration that is there and it's so real because I was furious at the situation."
