Mirror Talk
Berlin’s Mirror Talk is the one man synth-based project of Dominik Noe. His compositions mimic 80s goth and post-punk with heavily layered swirling patterns and blissful arpeggios playing gently against grainy repetitive bass lines and buried vocals. Coming across something like a Disney soundtrack reinterpreted by Suicide, Noe flirts with intensity. Dark themes emerge and guttural croons fluctuate between prophetic commentary and unadulterated weirdness while decidedly hardware-created beats and stabs guide the chaos to charmingly familiar conclusions.
Mirror Talk explores the woeful, heartfelt climes of pop music, emotion tailing synthesis, never missing a beat. It’s not often something so unabashedly retro can come across as entirely vital; yet Mirror Talk, for whatever reason, does.
