Don Sahand eases us into “Mirrors” (part of his forthcoming album My Missing Dentures) with some electronic clicks and simple percussive noises the likes of which one more often hears in the modular synth compositions of Kraftwerk. But the song’s moods build with a shivering melodic resonance like a walk down a long hall when lights triggered by motion sensors illuminate your path, in this case, perhaps a mirrored hallway in which you’re forced to confront your isolation and sense of alienation on your way to an uncertain future. Droplets of crystalline notes sound and trail off in the unknown distance like the hidden activities of the world around you that you’ll never full know but which you can sense, contributing to the enigmatic and haunted feel of the song and its sustained melancholia.
