Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo - Golden Mirrors - The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1 (2025) [Hi-Res]

The new album sees the duo cover 11 songs by the American songwriter Jackson C. Frank, an almost forgotten but recently rediscovered folk singer from the mid-sixties, whose sole album release was produced by Paul Simon and who counted Laura Marling, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Mark Lanegan and Fairport Convention as fans.

Golden Mirrors delves into a blend of haunting, cinematic soundscapes and emotional introspection, with a heavier focus on both experimental sounds and more expansive, rich arrangements. The album reflects a deepening of the artists' creative chemistry. Mick Harvey's atmospheric guitar work, signature production, and post-punk influences are balanced by Amanda Acevedo's ethereal, emotive voice, which brings an extra dimension to the music. Golden Mirrors explores self-reflection, transformation, and the beauty found in discomfort.
