Enter a world of light and texture with Grass Mirror's follow-up to his masterful "Apparatus" LP from 2020.
After a slew of EPs and albums spanning the past decade, Grass Mirror's sound has slowly expanded and distilled into an inescapable sonic palette.
This new collection of 4 songs continues his exploration into syncopated rhythms and foggy atmospheres. Off-kilter synth wobbles and shimmering synth pads take us further into dripping caves of sound. - HPT
From the artist:
“Persuasion” examines the relationship between growing older and finding novelty in new and unexpected terrain. Inspired by recent readings, a reconnection with nature, and a new baby boy on the horizon, these tracks evoke a specific time and place in my life. Uncertainty has been a through line for quite some time now and I sought to use that tension to probe how it could be affected and altered by the tools at my disposal. The balance of tight breaks and vast, reverted pads created an atmosphere that captures how I’ve been feeling. A sense of melancholy and escapism, but broken up by moments of hope, discovery, and elation.
Dedicated to my wife Devon, an endless source of radiant positivity and affirmation.
