Vanity Mirror Share Tuesday’s News
A
lot of artists that throw their hat in the nostalgia ring, looking back at certain periods of music to make it their very own. Vanity Mirror are one of those acts, seemingly culling their influences to look at the pop sounds of the late 60s. But, in doing that, there’s some recording flare, and just a bit of outsider mentality that makes it feel earnest and present, more than a throwback. I honestly feel like the band’s vocals and melodies owe a great deal to Elliott Smith, while the music definitely takes on that Beatles-esque nod. If you’re digging on it, the band drop their debut Puff via We Are Busy Bodies on May 12th.
