| Info: |
In the original press release to the independent
Mirror release, one finds the words "postmodern psychosexual
cabaret" to describe its astonishing music. And it is
difficult to disagree once you've immersed yourself in the
dreamlike, sleepy quality of one of the most innovative
records you're likely to ever hear. Mirror's Thomas Anselmi
has a long history in the Canadian music scene -- he founded
controversial Vancouver punk-rock act SLOW in the 80s and was
also at the center of the criminally underrated CIRCLE C (aka
COPYRIGHT), who more or less invented Radiohead's sound before
they did in the 90s. With Mirror, Anselmi had different goals
and aspirations:
"As a songwriter, I've spent a
lot of time in my music career trying to be innovative. And
one thing that struck me was watching the way [David] Lynch
would use music in films. Rather than being innovative, the
music was used in a way that was familiar. In other words,
anything that sounded kind of challenging melodically, I got
rid of. I made everything in a way like a
lullaby."
Mirror is a tour de force in
song-writing, with the help of an impressive cast: Dave Gahan
(Depeche Mode) takes on vocal duties for the fantastic album
opener Nostalgia; Warhol superstar and actor Joe Dallesandro
makes an appearance on City Lights; Mike Garson (the pianist
from David Bowie's Alladin Sane) contributes; as do guitarist
Knox Chandler, former Grapes of Wrath keyboardist Vincent
Jones (who produced the record), and Download collaborator
Phil Western. | |
