MIIRRORS

from Zig At The Gig podcast · host Zig at the gig

Motion And Picture is a cinematic soundscape of honest lyrical introspection and reactive abrasion, a personal timespan of disillusionment, resolve, and return of hope. Waves of cascading textures blur the sonic lines between synthesizers and guitars a la My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive as Shawn Rios's atypical rhythms anchor the songs while Brian McSweeney ascends beyond Andre Miller, Patrick Riley, and Dmitri Rakhubas's expanding colors. What began as a chance encounter on an airplane between McSweeney and Rios 22 years ago grew into a decades-long friendship which ignited the inevitable musical partnership that formed Chicago's MIIRRORS. They reverse-engineered the usual process of becoming a band by prioritizing album creation over live performance while at their own pace, morphing the duo into a cohesive quintet of seasoned multi-instrumentalists along the way­ veterans Rakhuba, Miller, and Riley completed the lineup, and they evolved the collective sound quickly, momentarily trading the stage for the tracking room. While recording, the group began self-releasing singles just two months before the pandemic took its toll on the music community, but not before the public took notice of their imagined version of Jeff Buckley's rare 1997 four-track demo        MIIRROR'S Info  https://miirrors.bandcamp.com/ www.pravdamusic.com https://miirrors.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/miirrorsmusic/ https://www.instagram.com/miirrors_music/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1XT5uhpV0ujNCA-_66_2yw https://open.spotify.com/artist/2SwDo6SQHqyEiiZv0M0K9K
