MIIRRORS

Brian McSweeney and Shawn Rios from MIIRRORS were kind enough to join me for this episode. They began this band as a duo, taking their time, writing music together and slowly making this into a unique project. Brian and Shawn recount how they met on a plane and bonded over the second Sigur Ros album. They were both working with different bands but there was definitely something there. When they finally had the opportunity to play together, they realized it was something special. When they expanded the band to include Dmitri Rakhuba, they knew they really had to give this some serious attention. Everything solidified with the addition of Andre Miller and Patrick Riley. With most of the songs already written, they went about the task of figuring out how to play them live with several extra people in the band! But they documented it and hopefully will be releasing that soon! Their debut album, Motion & Pictures is crazy catchy without having solos because they approached the album’s writing, arranging, and even sequencing like they were writing a movie. Their first single was a cover of a Jeff Buckley demo, Gunshot Glitter. They even had Jeff’s drummer, Matt Johnson play on it, so you know it’s good! You have to check these guys out!
