Eric Angelo Bessel will release Mirror at Night B-Sides on March 27, 2026 (7” vinyl, digital download, streaming), a companion EP to the fantastic 2025 full-length ambient record Mirror at Night. The lead single from the EP is “Double Helix.” The song shimmers and roils with bright tones suggestive of the image conjured by the title. It feels like a constantly shifting iteration of sounds like a cycle drawn from the mechanics of the life and the universe itself and expressed in sound. A deep listen reveals that Bessel has put into the track actual movements and shifts in tone that ensure it has a fresh resonance the next time the more amplified sound swirls back into the foreground. Fans of Robert Rich and Steven Roach will appreciate how Bessel imbues his tonal composition with a textural element that anchors the music in a tactile aspect of sound.
