My Review: Nightbus - Mirrors

 

Nightbus - Mirrors

Where were we? In the middle of a city, waiting.

From that waiting, the Mancunian band takes Shadowplay, by Joy Division, and wanders into the new artistic movements of this urban agglomeration that is desperately searching for new realities which can recall the glories of the past.

But the trio, musically at least, from the outset appear to be a blimp trying to look down on history. It is rather the vocal part that gives references, it almost seems to be close to plagiarism, but then we realise the magic, the youthful brilliance and the spectacular work on melody and interpretation. 

We thus find ourselves in a universe that is not parallel but rather distant, in which in the end we feel like stating that another band with the present enlightened by class has entered the pockets of our hearts…
