Every musical composition crafted by Looking Glass War, is crafted with such a high level of style and “Rock And Roll Elegance”, and the new single , “Seance by the RCA, is no exception, as it the perfect bow on the amazing new EP, “Saints of the Lost and Found “

“Seance by the RCA” leads with hypnotic drums that had us completely entranced.

Drawing inspiration from a topic increasingly relevant in today’s complex world, the song reflects on the legacy of the legendary escape artist Harry Houdini—not just as a performer, but as a fierce skeptic who exposed mediums and spiritualists exploiting grieving families with their deceitful tricks.

One particular debunking of a seance-fraudster took place in the band’s own hometown of Boston, and serves as the subtext for most of the song’s lyrics. A wealthy socialite of the city’s historic Beacon Hill neighborhood had a lucrative hustle of fleecing others with promises of reuniting them with departed loved ones. She was also the spouse of an esteemed surgeon in the area. Taking some creative license with the real life story, Glenn infers that the surgeonhusband–despite being so familiar with the spectre of death as he “opens people for a living”–isironically haunted by his own mortality. In her imagined defense of her fraud, the socialitemedium claims she only engaged in the occult to aleve her husband’s fear of what lies beyond this world.

The EP artwork for “Saints” itself depicts a turn of the century seance taking place.

“Seance by the RCA” kicks off with a commanding guitar riff before breaking into one of the band’s most rhythmically intricate drum and bass grooves to date. Drummer Tony Porter cites a fusion of influences behind the innovative rhythm: “When Pete and Mike first brought the verseriff to rehearsal, I envisioned shifting away from a traditional rock beat toward a breakbeat or slowed-down drum ‘n’ bass feel. Interestingly, it was a Velvet Revolver track that inspired me tosimplify during the choruses, emphasizing just crash cymbals and bass drums. My influences can be eclectic, but ultimately, it’s about serving the song in the best possible way”.

 Pete adds, “I was listening to a lot of Mineral (90’s Mid-West emo legends) when I wrote this guitar line. I love the directness of their stuff and how the guitars work so tightly with the drums.I think that definitely came through, but it also keeps to the Looking Glass War sound as well -we can’t help but sound like us in the end.”

Looking Glass War has a sound and vibe that is simply on another level . “Saints Of the Lost and Found” is the kind of EP, that is packed with musical goodness from first note on the first track all the way through to the last note on the last track.

At the end of the day, what makes Looking Glass War , so special is their ability to fuse musical brilliance and cerebral brilliance as one to create an extraordinary musical experience. “Saints Of the Lost and Found “ is an EP, you’ll want to hold on to.
