THE IRREPRESSIBLES Mirror Mirror (2010 UK 12-track CD album -
Led by composer and artist Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles are a
10-piece 'performance orchestra' that, through the power of their
instruments, can transport and transfix, break moulds and collide
worlds. Fusing European orchestration with pop melodies and soaring
cathartic vocals, 'Mirror Mirror' is a theatrical, playful, and emotionally
passionate album. From the dramatic opener 'My Friend Jo' to the
galloping rhythmsof 'Anvil'; from the yearning echoes of 'Forget The
Past' through to the intensely intimate 'In This Shirt', 'Mirror Mirror' is
a beautifully constructed sonic exploration depicting Jamie
McDermott's confessional stories of love, anger, lust and loss with a
journey through The Irrepressibles' mystical and theatrical world.
Whilst The Irrepressibles' sound has been compared to early David
Bowie, Kate Bush, Anthony & The Johnsons and even Bonzo Dog Do
Dah Band, 'Mirror Mirror' is quite unlike anything heard before.
McDermott's androgynous vocal range soars above intricate
polyphonic arrangements, accompanying the glamour of a sonic world
of Exotica-meets-Baroque-meets-Scott Walker-style orchestral pop
arrangements. As the album unfolds there is so much to discover,
enchanting musical offerings that hold surprises at every turn!).
