Over the four tracks of this EP, Black Mirrors turn out some bluesy hard rock, with the female vocals being the main thing distinguishing them from the hundreds of similar-sounding contemporaries. The guitar riffs seem to struggle under their own weight, outside of the ~2-minute cover of the MC5′s “Kick out the Jams” (though BM drops the ‘s’), which easily stands as the EP’s best track, and the drums end up stealing the spot-light most of the time. As a first release, it would be impressive, but coming three years after their debut EP, it’s hard to think of it as more than just solid, with a few dull points that don’t quite bring it down any lower.
