The Mirror Stage
Ten Thousand Tongues (EP)

The Mirror Stage's debut EP is a five-song EP that plays like a grandiose work. Drawing from influences such writers as
Samuel Beckett, Thomas Pynchon, Ezekiel, and T.S. Eliot, wordsmith/vocalist/guitarist James McNally, in his words, attempts
"...to take all of these disconnected sources and weave them in a story that attempts to make sense of a world in which
the atomic bomb and Lazarus are supposed to coexist. Our best and worst as a society are both present in each of the songs."
St. Louis, MO, had better know what they have with this inventive young band. Their indie style speaks of Radiohead mixed
with elements of Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire sprinkled in for good measure. Strong lyrics and unorthodox instrumentation make
the Mirror Stage recognizable in a sea of saturated music.
