Mirrorball is the duo of vocalist Alexandra Johnstone—formerly of WhiteDove, enthusiastically reviewed here—and longtime local guitarist ScottWatson...they’re matching stylishly narcoticized 80s FM AOR production to amelancholy song about uncertainty and confusion. “-L.A. Record
Mirrorball pens an instant classic with their recent Tinsel For A Tear. The writing is refreshing and original but the throwback intention is undeniable. What gives it ambiguity is that it’s referencing a less travelled style, partially because it’s an elusive vibe. The production has the nostalgic appeal of Fleetwood Mac and Todd Rundgren.
The vibe is on point but the writing is entirely new and exciting. Presented elegantly, Tinsel for a Tear was produced by none other than Chris Coad (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s). It’s Mirrorball’s first release on Dangerbird Records. Brought together by an uber ride, the California dream pop duo is a match made in heaven. These indie troubadours have been kicking around the LA scene for years before revealing Mirrorball. The collaboration appears to be thriving. -- The Wild is Calling
