Indiscreet Mirror

2013 release. Indiscreet Mirror is London-based musician and producer Alex Monk's eagerly-awaited follow-up to 2010's the Safety Machine (S-R 017 LP). The album features guests Gavan Kearny (Sand Snowman), Gareth Jones, and Steve Dowle, as well as an impressive array of instruments including the Novation Bass Station, the Casio SK-1, and a 17-string Vietnamese zither. As with previous outings, Indiscreet Mirror is a somber, melancholy affair, but this time around there's a marked organic feeling driven by acoustic instruments and voice. Rife with experimentation, the album explores pastoral folk terrain, while maintaining the tuneful kosmische vibe of the Safety Machine. At it's best, it combines the two worlds to impressive psychedelic effect. Screen printed sleeve in two versions on heavy white stock, housed in a heavy PVC sleeve. Edition of 200 copies on gorgeous heavy translucent white vinyl.
