Mirror Days is the solo works of California based musician Graham Harrington. In the summer of 2012, what began as a creative outlet and a place to put musical ideas to use turned into a full-fledged project that would become Mirror Days. Following his first EP 'Hearts & Heading Home', Harrington released the Solstice EP (2014) as well as a Split EP (2015) with Detroit based artist Sardonic Sunshine.
Summer 2016 will see the release of his first full-length album. Harrington dedicated a lot of time writing and performing all instruments on the record. He also had the help of long term producer friend Jesse Wilson of Hazel Street Recordings and Kip Carie (Sardonic Sunshine) back in his home town of Waterford, MI in recording the vocal tracks.
He has recently released two tracks from the coming LP, 'Let The Minutes Die' and 'Left To Wander', which you can hear below. It's a mesmerizing song in which shoegaze and alternative elements blend beautifully together and make this record one to truly look forward to!
It's not often that I find myself at a loss for words while hearing a new album... And yet, here I am; trying to explain what I like about it and all I can say is how it makes me feel. PAT MOON, the solo project of Portland based up-and-coming musician Kate Davis, released her debut album 'Don't Hide From The Light' on June 27th. Having listened to the brilliant first single 'Love Me As I Am' a couple of months ago, I was intrigued to hear more. And I was not disappointed in the end. I was not only absorbed in Kate's captivating voice or the melodic synths, but engrossed in the 8 tracks, which seem inscribed as a constellation of antithetical pairs. Luminous and dark. Adamant and submissive. Ethereal and palpable. Melancholic and happy. Submissive and unyielding. Gloomy and yet aspiring.
'Don't Hide From the Light' is a revelation in itself, a stellar debut album that is worth your time and attention. Discover it below.
