Mind Over Mirrors - Undying Color

Review by Tealana Hedgespeth

Undying Color, the latest album from Mind Over Mirrors, is a mesmerizing journey through soundscapes that blend electronic and acoustic elements. The album features the distinctive sound of the harmonium, an instrument that has been used in Indian classical music for centuries. But here, it is combined with synthesizers, percussion, and other instruments to create a unique sonic landscape.

The opening track, "Feast of the Creator," sets the tone for the album with its pulsing rhythms and hypnotic melodies. As the album progresses, the listener is taken on a journey through various moods and textures, from the dreamy "Oculate Beings" to the more ominous "Gray Clearer." The album's centerpiece is the epic "White Mirrors," which clocks in at over 20 minutes and builds to a frenzied climax before dissipating into a gentle coda.

Summary by Tealana Hedgespeth

Throughout the album, Mind Over Mirrors creates a sense of otherworldliness that is both eerie and beautiful. The harmonium's droning notes provide a foundation for the more experimental elements, creating a sound that is at once ancient and modern. Undying Color is a compelling work that rewards repeated listening and reveals new layers with each play.
