Album Notes

The debut album from Mirror is an exhilarating set of ten tunes that defy categorization. Often described as "post-rock" or "math-rock", these terms do not do the constantly inventive music on this release justice.

Mirror were formed in 2006 from the ashes of Journal Spy Effort who released one EP on Catune and toured extensively throughout Japan alongside bands like Medications before folding.

The band's sound is built upon an ultra-tight foundation where winding bass lines snake around restless rhythms as expertly deployed by drummer Daisuke Fukuyama and bassist Masashi Kaneda. The dual-guitar partnership of Takahiro Kimoto and Kenshiro Mori trade back and forth over the top, tracking the ever twisting time changes, often exploding into furious intensity.
