Mirrored Aztec

Guided by Voices

Bright, punchy indie rock with a surprisingly clean finish. A collection of short, hook-heavy vignettes that trade basement grit for studio clarity.

It's the most 'pop' they've sounded in years, full of two-minute gems and zero hiss.

A bright and whimsical collection of power-pop vignettes that feels surprisingly polished and optimistic.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The unexpected arrival of the Montclair School of Rock Choir on Math Rock, adding a whimsical layer to the driving rhythm.

The jangly, immediate guitar hook that opens I Think I Had It, I Think I Have It Again, setting a bright tone for the record.

The way Thank You Jane slows the pace with a more melodic, almost psych-pop sensibility that highlights the band's softer side.
