MIRRORS ON THE MOON IS SET TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT EP WHISKEY & WINE ON OCTOBER 6
New Jersey band Mirrors On The Moon is set to release their debut EP Whiskey & Wine written, produced, and mixed by Donny Dykowsky and mastered by Joe Lambert on October 6. Available on all streaming platforms here: https://distrokid.com/
“The music speaks for itself. The title track is a gorgeous blend of blues attitudes and Laurel Canyon harmonic gloss, which in many ways acts as a template for the EP as a whole. But of course, the devil is always in the detail, and it is what they add to this initial sonic platform that makes all the difference. “Marigolds” features some Dave Gilmour-infused soloing, “Waking Up” is understated and balladic bliss, and “Get Lost” sees the band embrace some heavy-grooving, R&B swagger. The EP rounds off with “Don’t Panic,” again full of Floydian flourish and the sort of melodics that Jeff Lynne would have wrestled you to the ground to acquire back in the day,” — The Big Takeover
Mirrors On The Moon is Donny Dykowsky on vocals/guitars, Freddy Pastore on bass (Chesterwhite), John Hummel on drums (Lady Gaga), Dave Archer on keys (UNI and the Urchins) with backing vocals by Emily MacMahon.
In just 3 short months, the release of the songs and videos for “Get Lost” and “Don’t Panic” garnered over 50k streams on Spotify to date. With “Get Lost” garnering airplay on Spotify playlists, Rocking Guitars, Cool Rock Collection, and The Rock Cave, and “Don’t Panic” on Rock Anthems, Rock Arena, and Rock Up. Paving the way for a forthcoming EP and showcasing their solid musicianship, songwriting prowess, musical versatility, and sense of nostalgia. Folk N Rock said it their latest release had “a sing-along chorus and a melody which transports you back to the era of albums like Ziggy Stardust.”
Also, on the EP you will find the title track “Whiskey & Wine” where Dykowsky’s delivers a mix of Alt-country and new classic rock, as lyrical hints of Alan Watts philosophy drip through. The accompanying video is a stop-motion juggernaut directed by award-winning creative and animator Rohitash Rao.
Elsewhere, “Marigolds” delivers a prog-rock feel taking place during Dia de los Muertos. A syncopated bluesy riff sets the stage for lyrics of information overload, faith, and Douglas Adam’s theory that “life is wasted on the living”.
While “Waking Up” is a sweet reminder that nothing is ever lost, if we allow ourselves to believe that time isn’t linear, the moment is never gone. The chorus repeats the word Om – a sacred mantra that is believed to be the primordial sound that created the universe.
Whiskey & Wine is a collection of songs that literally starts at the Big Bang, weaves through the Day of the Dead, and then comes full circle to the present moment.
