mirrors are from brighton, uk. they've got a serious new order thing going on, and, as with any group that can be attributed this influence, they are wholeheartedly ML-approved...yes, a little dark sounding for the spring playlist, but worthy of the download.
oh yeah, they've only got one song though:
mirrors- "look at me"
and check out hyperbole--they usually post some pretty good stuff.

Mirror therapy has been successful in treating disorders like phantom limb syndrome, chronic pain and post-stroke paralysis...they use mirrors to create reflected images of patients’ limbs or other body parts and thus trick the brain into healing itself.The link between self-awareness and elaborate sociality:
Animals that are able to pass the mirror self-recognition test (chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, gorillas, dolphins, and Asian elephants) live fairly sophisticatd lives. They will also scrutinize any marks that have been applied to their faces or bodies and will check up on personal hygiene, inspecting their mouths, nostrils and genitals when given a mirror.
