Goon Sax, The – Mirror II [Limited White Color Vinyl Record]

Description

Since forming in high school, Brisbane bandThe Goon Sax the trio of Riley Jones, Louis Forster, and James Harrison, best friends who take turns writing, singing, and playing each instrument have been celebrated for their unpretentious, kinetic homemade pop.Mirror ll,The Goon Sax’sfirst album for Matador, is something else entirely: a new beginning, a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. Gone are the first-person insecurities of their school days they’ve been made expansive, more universal, more weird.Mirror IIis intense, the sum of everything that has always madeThe Goon Saxgreat: robust sprechgesang, raw lyrical candor, ascending guitar pop structures that would make the most storied jangle bands blush, elevated into their newfound narrative verisimilitude and expanded sonic experimentations. Each member’s idiosyncratic style comes across on record: Riley’s bubblegum noise is more present than ever before, Louis’ moody, super-natural avant-pop, and James’ psychedelic folk.
