Tim Hecker – Mirages 2LP

Description

In conjunction with the reissues of Tim Hecker’s Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do it Again and Radio Amor albums on both vinyl and CD, kranky is also reissuing this classic 2004 album on the CD format for the first time. “As a follow-up to the sublime Radio Amor, Mirages is an even more majestic album, striding with a confident heaviness further out into the wilderness, deep into the night.” – Boomkat. “… The keyboard parts on Mirages are prettier, and the overall mood is more contemplative, but there’s a deep pit of melancholy at the center of the record, a mood with a strongly cumulative effect.” – Pitchfork. “The opener, ‘Acephale,’ first erupts into a teeth-gnashing guitar solo before nodding off into an absinthe stupor, while the highlights, ‘Neither More or Less’ and ‘Celestina’ are both brooding stroboscope soundtracks.” – XLR8R. “The follow-up to 2003’s critically acclaimed Radio Amor, Mirages further erodes the vapid predispositions of electronic music, uncovering a terrain where dissonance and melody coincide in a near-bohemian unison.” – Amazon.
