Slow Pop from Mirror Trash

Brunei’s Mirror Trash first popped up on my radar back in April, and every time that he pops out a tune, I get continually captivated. The pacing on this latest tune is so slow, it’s almost like you can hear yourself thinking, talking out your thoughts; the cavernous way in which the vocals were recorded also hint at that same vibe. I always marvel at how the simplest structures seem to embed themselves deep within your soul, and no matter how new-age-y that may sound, this tune definitely seeps into your pores with its carefully crafted pop sensibility.

Mellow Pop Vibes from Mirror Trash

I think perhaps the greatest thing about the Internet is realizing that someone far away, in some distant land that I’ll never visit, is crafting music that I wish I’d created. Such is the case with Brunei’s Mirror Trash, but I feel like that makes sense, as the area around Indonesia are renown for their pop aficionados. On the recently released Reform EP, I’ve marveled at the joy in “Vacancies.” The song has this dangling guitar line that sort of meanders in and out of the vocals, occasionally spliced with a sharper version that knifes its way through. The aforementioned vocals hang out in the air, like a fog creeping into your subconscious. Definitely a good way to start your Tuesday!
