Blending influences from cold wave, industrial, and modern darkwave, 'Pressed In Glass' by Soft Vein sounds at times urgent, visceral and with a certain suspense; a singular, cold vocal brooding over minimalist drum machines, metallic synthetic percussion, lurking synth basslines and haunting synthesizers. At other times, the record's pulsing synth basslines and heartbeat drum machines give rise to a dreamy, darkly romantic sound.
