Description:

Cinematic, electronic pop music from the multi-media project MIRROR, featuring Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan, Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro, Bowie pianist Mike Garson, and introducing chanteuse Laure-Elaine and teen actress Frances Lawson.
First launched at the New Forms Multimedia Festival three years ago, MIRROR is now releasing an album of music. MIRROR’s songs are the soundtrack to immersive multi-performer shows that combine electronic pop music with theatricality and live video production.
MIRROR introduces chanteuse Laure-Elaine and teen actress Frances Lawson who perform alongside a star-studded cast of collaborators – including Depeche Mode front man Dave Gahan, who sings “Nostalgia,” and Andy Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro (Trash, Heat) who co-wrote and performs a monologue on “City Lights.”
Produced by Vincent Jones, the album also features guitarist Knox Chandler (Siouxsie And The Banshees, Pyschedelic Furs), and legendary Bowie pianist Mike Garson.
The aesthetic of MIRROR is deeply rooted in the sounds and sights of cinema and live television. One can hear in the music the influence of film composers such as Francis Lai (Love Story, Bilitis) and Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet). The use of video is both strange and familiar, playing on our nostalgia for the iconic imagery of classic Hollywood and the stagey drama of Schlager variety shows.
A new direction for the pop spectacle, MIRROR uses live and recorded media to create a kind of pyschosexual postmodern cabaret. By embracing the artificial and sentimental, MIRROR reflects the transitory, spectacular world of endless commodities, sex, advertising, and tabloid violence. Ballads of love and longing are here tempered by the themes of cultural decay and apocalypse.
