Major Stars / Mirror / Messenger

Drag City

Now giant size, MAJOR STARS plunge further down the path of their second, larger life with Mirror/Messenger. Their new sextet record features the same triple-guitar frontline (anchored by WAYNE ROGERS and KATE VILLAGE) and fervid vocalizations from SANDRA BARRETT as did 2006’s Syntoptikon—but with more songs than ever before found on a Major Stars record. Mirror/Messenger is an assault on popular music, with considerable muscle exerted to create a jukebox-ready duck-and-shuffle—if the needle doesn’t get tossed out of the groove, that is. Eight powerful tracks loaded with screaming solos and psych-heavy riffs.
