MIRROR TEST

Chit Chat Records

CCR007

Info:

“mirror Test” Conjures That Rare Mood Between Darkness And Elation, Contemplation And Celebration, And Drives It Home With An Infectious, Jacking Rhythm Section Which Recalls The Late-80s Ny Club Music Of Boyd Jarvis And Paul Simpson, And Labels Like Easy Street And Fourth Floor, But Imbues The Sound With A Toughness And Precision Only Possible Today. Analog Synth Figures, Glassy And Angular, Ricochet Around The Track, Trading Jabs With Funky Snare Work And Robotic, Stabby Chord Patterns To Create A Hook-laden Machine Groove Which Demands Repeated Listening.<br />the Record’s B-side Feature, “replace Yourself,” Is The Subtler, Dreamier, More Futuristic Of The Two. Unmistakably Urban With Its Swinging, Bottom-heavy Groove And Strange, Architectural Chord Work, It Seduces And Transports. “replace Yourself” Dares You To Do Exactly That.
