The Mirage Fades As It Unfolded
@the-mirage-fades.bsky.social
mini music reviews | broken, underwater synths | guitars that don’t sound like guitars | fx pedals DI’d directly to the heart | ambient sounds of the afterlife
One of the best collabs in my collection. Via @joyfulnoiserecs.bsky.social in 2018, @nojoy.bsky.social & Kember are firing on all cylinders here, sculpting an intoxicating sound completely its own playing to both artists’ strengths. I wish it was an LP, but sometimes scarcity amplifies power.

Hey @polyvinyl.bsky.social is it too late to reunite The Ivory Coast for Best Friends Forever Fest? Maybe 2026 then? I love this album so much.

An absolute banger. Same songwriter as “Crying in the Club,” “Genie in a Bottle,” “Breakeven,” and “Physical!” Steve Kipner get on Bluesky!

With each spin I become a little more certain that ‘Cooler Returns’ by Kiwi Jr. is still the best @subpop.bsky.social release of the decade so far.

Now Playing: ‘Nobody Can Take What Everybody Owns’ by Waxwing on Second Nature Recordings (2002). I could listen to Rocky’s voice all day. I’ll stop holding my breath for a reunion, but I’d love to hear these songs live solo, maybe in 2027 for a 25th anniversary tour? 🙏
