Mirror Lady arrived quietly on the Silver Lake scene recently, dispensing two lo-fi dollops of twitchy folk-pop notable for their keening vocals and skeletal synths – both of which do not exit the brain easily after entering the ears. The trio is the brainchild of T.J. Petracca, Sean Robinson and Taylor Pile, who met at the Berklee College of Music before exiting Boston for sunnier climes. Petracca, a native of Park City, Utah, released an album of alt-country as Visions in 2010, but Mirror Lady embraces a different vision, one in which the slender rays of pop are isolated and then refracted. It’s reminiscent of another L.A. pop-bender, Gangi, only starker.
