With their new album ‘The Above’ due to be released on September 29th, via Blue Grape Music, Code Orange have shared another track from the record. ‘Mirror’ sees guitarist Reba Meyers take the lead with an emotional and melancholy number that is a contrast to their usual abrasive style.
On the song, Reba remarks, “this song has a special place in my heart. To me, it’s the climax of this style of my writing in this band thus far. Take a look in the mirror, are you bored?”
Its video was created by NOWHERE2RUN, a collaborative group made up of Code Orange frontman Jami Morgan, keyboardist Eric “Shade” Balderose and cinematographer Eric Robbins. The visual utilises live action, stop motion, claymation, and rotoscoping to create a unique and technicolour
“‘Mirror’ is NOWHERE2RUN’s first foray into full music video production from conception all the way to the final edit,” explained Morgan. “It’s fitting that we took on a song that is dynamically disparate from anything CODE ORANGE has ever done. It’s a little softer, a little more lush, and led by a powerful performance from Reba. It’s another important piece of the puzzle that is The Above.”
