For most bands, a day job gets in the way.

“These songs were all recorded in our loft,” says Shining Mirrors front man, Drew Robinson. “Drums and all. Fortunately, I’m the building manager. That’s my day job.”

The first thing we hear on the new self-titled EP from the Brooklyn-based band is bass player Reni Lane telling her bandmates to “try it again.” It’ll remain a mystery as to whether the previous take of opening cut “Cardiac” just wasn’t up to snuff, but boy did they get it right on the one that made it.

The EP (out now) contains this song, along with four more tunes that Shining Mirrors thoughtfully describes as “dark garage” music.

“My biggest musical influences are Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix,” Robinson says, exposing some deep roots. “I lived in the suburbs of Baltimore during my teens. I recorded a string of albums in my bedroom under various pseudonyms, and I played in a band. We had some mild success. We toured. We released an EP. Then I followed my girlfriend to New York. We toured. We imploded.”

While living out this familiar rock n’ roll story, Robinson had the name Shining Mirrors in the back of his mind the whole time. In 2012 he took it into the land of the living.

“As a human, your eyes never see your own face,” he explains of the moniker’s significance – the “Mirrors” specifically. “What you see is a reflection of yourself. All art, film, painting, literature, etc. is a mirror.”

And “Shining?”

“It implies a moment of clarity, something that’s crystal clear, like the kind of epiphany that burns your eyes. It’s like the moment when you finally realize something you’ve been thinking about for 20 years.”

For those indie-rock, power-pop, dark-garage fans in the house, please rejoice in the fact that it’s only taken a fraction of that time for Robinson to realize his vision for Shining Mirrors.

The new EP from Brooklyn-based threesome Shining Mirrors is out now. Members of Shining Mirrors are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
