Real State

Genre: Experimental

Out of stock

Recent CD of previously unreleased and pleasingly rough live recordings of Japan's Mirrors, from '78-'79. Historically they might be in the shadow of Friction, but Mirrors and the Gozira label which released their two singles are the real fathers of Japanese punk's first wave. Previous reissues of the Mirrors material have been few, limited and never really distributed outside Japan, so this disc is a much-welcomed release. These live recordings serve them well, as this is among the finest stripped down 3-chord buzz you could hear from anywhere in this era. If there was any doubt, this one should cement the Mirrors' place in the canon of greats in the worldwide '77 big-bang.
