London-based psych-folk duo La Nouvelle Musique paint a fantastical world to life with their epic-worthy single, ‘The Mirror , via indie label Fruits de Mer Records.
Behind La Nouvelle Musique is bass player, composer, and singer Joanna Beck and her husband Ian de Silva (formerly of the band Silver), and their shared musical experience and depth shine on ‘The Mirror’.
Accompanying the trance-like vocals along a perilous journey, ‘The Mirror’ is the raft keeping us afloat in our travels. With a melody that sweeps you up into the odyssey set before us, the lyrics sway back and forth from outward to internal support. Are we alone here with our reflection as our guide, or do we have a faithful follower at our side? That’s for each listener to decipher. Chosen as the opener for their latest album, La Nouvelle Musique, ‘The Mirror’ magnifies musical storytelling and the individuality of experience at the core of La Nouvelle Musique’s creations.
The overall theme of the album is literally the movement of time and how ten minutes can seem like an hour or just a matter of seconds. It also touches on how life experiences are subjective and unique to everyone.”
