by Mirage

supported by

Charlie What a hidden gem! To my ears, it sounds like a hybrid of Return to Forever and Tame Impala (if that makes any sense); Elements of jazz-fusion and psychedelic rock but stitched together with the sensibility of RJD2. Highly recommended.

about

Up All Night

The LP you are about to hear contains musings about red traffic lights, empty streets dimly lit by neon signs, crickets singing in harmony to the echo of a distant siren, and the collective drone of nightclub sound pollution reverberating through the kitchen window. The recording sessions of this album were done in my studio in Tijuana, Mexico, between 2017 and 2019.Only a mere fifteen or twenty foot distance separated us from the militarized US-Mexico Border, which provided a backdrop of constant flood lights and sirens blaring through the nearby concrete Plaza as we worked through the night. It provided all we needed to work feverishly, almost manically, on a record that Brandon and I had sought to record together ever since the beginning of our friendship almost 15 years ago. At last, we had the means of working uninterrupted- without the obstacles of limited rehearsal times, money for studio time, or the objection of ears that couldn’t or wouldn’t participate in the ambitious musical endeavors we sought to fulfill. This is the culmination and expression of our dreams, nightmares, humor, fears, passion, and self-doubt. We penned these songs together under the musical partnership that was a vehicle for our friendship; one that has defined who I am today, and whatever else may come in the future. I hope you enjoy the collection of the first songs that we felt worthy of being on an album. The oddities, flavors, and precursors of things to come that are on this record are something that we dreamed of sharing with the world. Although Brandon ultimately would never see the fulfillment of this project, his biggest desire was to share our music with the world. In a moment of inexplicable sorrow and confusion, I would proudly like to present to you the music of Mirage.
