Don’t Trust Mirrors caps off one of the most transformative periods of Kelly Moran’s musical life. In 2019, her career was defined by extensive touring and festival dates — waking up early to play her sets, and staying late to dance to techno. The experience of staying out and absorbing this environment generated a new connection between herself & the music she was making, inspiring her to work on a more rhythmic followup to her 2018 Warp Records debut Ultraviolet.
But an unexpected and personal shift in her life, along with a halted tour during the pandemic, changed the course of the project. Her self-perception altered — both physically and emotionally — as well as her path, presenting a new creative process. This led to 2024’s Moves in the Field, which The New York Times called “a softhearted but steel-skinned set of 10 piano pieces that are as rapturous as a waterfall or as delicate as vapor.”
Setting itself apart from her last release, Don’t Trust Mirrors is a pivotal return to a project that was put on hold and to self-actualization, showcasing the experience of observing yourself through distortion, reflection, and the slow work of piecing yourself back together again. The album features Warp Records labelmate Bibio, and comprises 10 tracks of magnificent textural refractions — reflecting light, hard edges, and the full spectrum of embracing true embodiment.
The announcement is accompanied by the release of new single “Echo in the Field,” which opens the album, and comes with a mesmerizing, kinetic video directed by Katharine Antoun.
