Mirrors - Lights and Offerings

Review by Dannii Leivers

Pillaging from the back catalogues of Eighties electronica is an institutionalised practice today, and Mirrors do it with such style and elegance it renders their less than original sound irrelevant. »

mirrors release their debut album, 'lights and offerings' on skint. having previously worked with richard x and ed buller, and fired by a fierce d.i.y. spirit that permeates every facet of their world, the band decamped to a rural farmhouse in sussex run by a french hippy commune to self-produce their debut album. completely self-contained and locked away in a room full of sleeping bags, old synths and supplies of food and other consumables dropped off by their label, they recorded the album in a month during early summer 2010. later mixed at the dfa studios in new york by rapture collaborator jonathan kreinik. as happy to reference xtc, pil and joy division as they are basic channel, kraftwerk, wolfgang voigt and tangerine dream, mirrors are a band with an aesthetic - an all pervading one which they live 24/7.
