Ignea [LP Red Colored Vinyl]

Mirror Revelations - Ignea [LP Red Colored Vinyl]

Toluca, Mexico trio Mirror Revelations return with 'Ignea', a raw blast of heavy motorik drive and industrial psych intensity that's built to dance as it burns. Stripped to the core with the live show in mind, 'Ignea' finds pedal-processed synthesisers and a relentless bass-and-drums backbone powering songs of resistance and ignition. "The name of the album refers to fire, which for us symbolises transformation and change", the band say: "Just as a spark can ignite a fire, Ignea represents that ignition point, the beginning of something that burns, expands, and transforms." Mirror Revelation's second full-length and first on their new label home Fuzz Club arrives following their debut album 'Aura', released in 2023 and supported by heavy gigging in Mexico and a UK and European tour the following year. Entirely written, recorded and produced by the band, the transformation heard on 'Ignea' is something equally darker and more hedonistic, and all the more cathartic for it: "Ignea maintains the motorik, kraut and psych roots that defined Aura, but this time we wanted to fully embrace the ideology of 'less is more'. We decided to reduce the instrumentation so the record could translate more faithfully, powerfully and energetically into our live set. This time we also explored new rhythms with the intention of creating a rawer album, where repetition and intensity carry the message. All the songs revolve around resistance and an inner awakening in the face of oppression and imposition. Lyrically, the album moves away from the more dreamy and spiritual tone of Aura. On Ignea, we speak about a harsher reality, reflecting the concerns that are increasingly present in our everyday lives."
