Wilderness of Mirrors

On Wilderness of Mirrors, The Black Angels sharpen their vision without losing the dense, heady atmosphere that’s become their signature. Still swirling in psychedelia, the band delivers a record that feels both sprawling and strikingly urgent — a mirror held up to a world coming apart at the seams.

Singles like “El Jardín” and “Empires Falling” pulse with restless energy, threading political undercurrents through fuzz-drenched riffs and hypnotic rhythms. Even the dreamier moments, like “Firefly” and “Without a Trace”, carry a tense, almost haunted undercurrent, as if beauty and chaos are forever entwined.

There’s a richness to Wilderness of Mirrors that rewards repeat listens: layers of distortion peeling back to reveal sharp hooks, buried melodies, and glimmers of hope amid the haze. It’s the sound of a band pushing deeper into their own shadows — and finding something electrifying there.
