MIRROR BRIDE

Limited vinyl LP pressing. On this 2016 release, Sin Ropas' (aka Tim Hurley) fuzz and blur is tightened into something beautifully sparse and rangy thanks to mixing by Brian Deck (Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse). These are bright, searing, imperfect songs that, as the title suggests, may seep into those places that you've been trying to forget or to hide. There's a catharsis in its splattered slow party of music, in its untethered rhythms and evaporating melodies, music that suggests that there's more than what we've seen or will see, how things seem more meaningful when reflected than in reality. Mirror Bride is the kind of record that reveals itself slowly and evokes the kind of experience you didn't even know you were missing.
