Shatter the Mirror is Aging Disgracefully’s Album Out Now
As I dive into the opening track Foggy Highway, a warm, bluesy atmosphere quickly wraps around me, just like the mist that blankets the song’s titular highway.
The track is moody yet inviting, paving the way for an album filled with emotional depth and a sense of nostalgia that comes alive through its sound.
Following that, Show Me The Way draws you further into the heart of their sound, transporting you to the bustling streets of New Orleans with its intricate grooves and rich instrumentation.
The song has a magnetic quality that makes it hard to break free from, as the music seeps into your bones and stays there, echoing long after it ends.
Shatter the Mirror offers a sharp contrast to its predecessors. It’s an upbeat, foot-tapping anthem that showcases Mike Elliott’s impressive guitar skills. His guitar work is fiery and passionate, driving the track forward with irresistible energy.
It’s a quintessential blues tune that proves the duo’s mastery over the genre, delivering a steady rhythm and riffs that could get anyone moving.
Red Sky, an interesting shift in tone, presents a more balanced vocal approach. Up until this point, Karen Pyra’s vocals have been the centerpiece, with her emotive and direct delivery pulling the listener into each song. But in Red Sky, Mike Elliott’s voice comes to the forefront as well.
The blending of their two voices creates a dynamic and captivating chemistry that brings out the best in the track, resulting in a layered and evocative piece.
Black Stockings quickly became one of my favorites on the album. It’s a sultry, smoky tune that captures everything you could want from a blues track. The atmosphere is rich, full of tension, and the addition of a saxophone in the background adds an extra dimension to the song, pulling you into its world.
It’s the kind of song that feels like it’s pulling you into the night, where anything could happen, and everything feels mysterious and exciting.
Cheatin’ brings a lighter vibe to the album with its clever lyrics and catchy rhythm. It’s one of those tracks that instantly puts a smile on your face. The fun and humor within the song provide a nice balance to some of the more intense emotional moments earlier in the album.
Closing out with Questions in the Middle of the Night, the album shifts toward a more rock-oriented feel. The track’s driving rhythm and melodic structure evoke a sense of nostalgia for the great rock and blues of the past. It’s a perfect closing track that ties together the album’s diverse sounds.
Shatter the Mirror is an exciting, immersive experience, offering a mix of blues, rock, and soul. Duo Aging Disgracefully’s chemistry is undeniable, and this album serves as a great introduction to their work, showcasing their ability to blend classic influences with their own unique energy.
