The Goon Sax Share ‘Mirror II’ Deluxe Edition
The Goon Sax have released a deluxe digital edition of their third album and Matador Records debut, Mirror II. The record returns to us newly refreshed with four unreleased songs, including two album outtakes, a demo of “In the Stone,” and a cover of Len’s 1999 top- ten hit, “Steal My Sunshine.”
Today, Brisbane trio are presently on the road, opening for Snail Mail on dates across the UK, Europe, and North America including tonight in Vancouver. The trio will also return to the US this fall to join Interpol and Spoon on their co-headlining “Lights, Camera, Factions” tour.
Since forming in high school, Brisbane band The Goon Sax— the trio of Riley Jones, Louis Forster, and James Harrison, best friends who take turns writing, singing, and playing each instrument— have been celebrated for their kinetic homemade pop. Mirror II is a new beginning: a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave skronk with staggering cohesion. Gone are the first-person insecurities of their school days — they’ve been made expansive, more universal, and more weird.
