Mirrors – Into The Heart

Mirrors

The first church organ sounding notes blare through our speakers and wind into a very Pulp sounding mildly psychedelic track, with electro beats and similar tones to those of Jarvis Cocker. This is Mirrors.

This song is a little repetitive; it certainly won’t win any awards for creativity of lyrics (“Into the heart that wallows in the dark”), but their sound is intriguing and we find ourselves wanting to hear more.

There is something very likeable about ‘Into The Heart’ but we cannot quite put our finger on what it is. Maybe the nostalgia of the ’90s?

B-side ‘Lights and Offerings’ is more bizarre from start to finish, with an intro that sounds like it’s taken from Lily Allen’s latest album, but soon develops into a track that very much reflects the vibes of the A-side. There is a certain military like feel to this track, the harshness of the vocals against the whirling background.

We find ourselves thinking that our liking for this sound may be short lived. How many times can we actually listen to Mirrors without tiring?
