archiced Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Marking their 20th year as a band, Maserati returns with their first new album in five years. Produced by the band and mixed by Grammy-winning producer, John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, Swans, Angel Olsen), Enter The Mirror is Maserati’s most compelling mélange of triumphant guitar hooks, abstract synth-pop, and Wax Trax-inspired noise anthems. The gated drums of Phil Collins and chorus-drenched guitars of INXS were prominent influences on Enter The Mirror, paired to magnificent effect with the increasingly dystopian lyrical themes (which, ironically, were also massive influences on popular music in the 1980s, and feel ever more relevant now). In addition to longtime members Coley Dennis, Matt Cherry, Chris McNeal, and Mike Albanese, Maserati are joined by friends and collaborators, Bill Berry (R.E.M.), Owen Lange, and Alfredo Lapuz Jr. Self-reflection and loss of control as both a positive and negative aspect of modern existence is at the heart of Enter The Mirror. It is Maserati’s most efficient and cohesive album, and a monumental accomplishment for a band who have weathered many storms throughout their first two decades – and found the will to not just keep moving, but to move with style and chase. https://www.temporaryresidence.com/products/trr338?variant=31372516753526 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I was thinking this just the other day as I worked back through their discography again since I haven't listened to them in like 10+ years. Like the vibe of that PF song has a connection to a bunch of their other songs too. It's cool though. Looking forward to this release, and hopefully they get added as the opener for the midwest leg of the Caspian tour as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run Like Hell and ABITW p1 both use it to great effect. I love Maserati. This is fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
