once more into the world of mirrors… It truly is a shame that everything from the last iteration of the blog is pretty much lost. It is so because unless if you are one of the recently converted, you would have no idea about my love for all things Mirrors. This English quartet trio recently released one of the finer debut records of recent vintage earlier this year in Lights And Offerings which still gets tons of play here at Casa de Suede. Early (good) Simple Minds. OMD. Kraftwerk. These are the bands that come to mind when you listen to Mirrors at work. Not a pastiche, mind you, but a broadening of ideas and rekindling of the hope and promise those bands gave to young bands who eschewed those geetars in favour of a long gaze into the future. A future of motorik beats and detachment. Mirrors pretty much nailed it right away. With the recent defection of Ally Young, the band is now a trio. Sad news indeed but the band is definitely not sulking. Just the other day they premiered two brand new songs on their SoundCloud page and I dare say they are very promising indeed. Take a listen to the caressing warmth that is Dust and the Kraftwerk-ian majesty in Shooting Stars. Simply splendid. Dust by theworldofmirrors Shooting Stars by theworldofmirrors
