Album Notes & Community Reviews

A fixture of the New Zealand underground experimental scene, Galbraith crafts an exceptionally fragile, lo-fi masterwork on 'Mirrorwork'. The record relies on ghostly, out-of-tune acoustic guitars, crude violin drones, and tape manipulation to frame his deeply intimate, mumbled vocal performances.
