Com o segundo trabalho, os Mirror People encontraram a sua voz. Depois do primeiro longa duração, onde Rui Maia escreveu, compôs, tocou e produziu todos os temas, com aparições de uma miríade de colaboradores de todos os espectros da música electrónica, é neste segundo LP, Bring the Light, que a banda efectivamente fica formada.

“Who are we when we’re alone?” The simplest questions are often the most difficult to answer. In April of 2018, Drowse’s Kyle Bates left his home in Portland, OR for an artist residency in barren northern Iceland. Much of Bates' time there was spent in self-imposed isolation, giving him ample space to ponder the nature of solitude, and what it means to be "closed" or "open" to the world. Upon returning home, Bates worked obsessively. Maya Stoner, a longtime creative partner, sometimes came to sing, but recordings where mostly done alone. The dichotomy of his Icelandic musings materialized in a very real way as he neglected his personal relationships in favor of his art. While he was confronting his life-long fear of intimacy, and reconciling himself to a diagnosis of Bipolar 1, Bates found that the means he employed to conquer these obstacles–self reflection through art–carried with them an equal measure of misery. Light Mirror, Drowse’s second album for The Flenser, is a subtle exploration of these contradictory attitudes and their consequences that can be heard as an artifact of sonic self-sabotage.

The Velvet Underground was one of music's most influential rock groups. Often referred to as the dark side of the psychedelic era, The Velvet Underground was rock's first great underground band. Its members consist of singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist/bassist Sterling Morrison and percussionist Maureen Tucker. Their daring and politically-charged lyrics help shade music forever.

This three-CD set is indeed what the title bills it as, with rare mono versions of several Velvet Underground LPs and singles, as well as a few items taken from acetates.

Когда-то перспективная команда, зажигавшая вместе с Twisted sister и Литой Форд… но увы сгинувшая в борьбе с акулами капитализма, требовавшими от парней более коммерческий саунд.
