Girl with No Face is the third studio album by Canadian avant-pop singer Allie X, released on February 23, 2024, by Twin Music and distributed by AWAL.
On February 21, 2020, Allie X released her second studio album, Cape God and intended to embark on a concert tour to promote it.
"[7] The album features a synthesizer-heavy retro pop sound inspired by the 1980s and late 1970s, with comparisons drawn to Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, Blondie, Vince Clarke, Kate Bush, Madonna, Kraftwerk, A-ha, the Human League, the B-52s, and Talking Heads.
"[12] DIY writer Otis Robinson described the album as, "Like a thespian Transylvanian vampire in leathery gay bars, on third album Girl with No Face, Allie X careens through ghoulish '80s glam rock, weaving together sounds of the analogue, the synthetic and the theatrical: an energetic retrospection to digest all the mundane, vulgar, maddening and unsettling future contemporaneity she faces".
[3] Tom Kingsley of The Line of Best Fit praised the albums retro 80s sound, writing that "Pastiche is a risk for many artists, but for Hughes it's an opportunity, giving her unsettling, shape-shifting persona full command" and that, "if Cape God felt like Hughes beginning to create her own universe, Girl with No Face marks her apotheosis as her deity.
