MICK HARVEY & AMANDA ACEVEDO - Golden Mirrors: The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1 - CD [SEP 26]

CD

Golden Mirrors (The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1) is the first in a series of projects by Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo, exploring songwriters who have profoundly influenced them. This volume pays tribute to the haunting and overlooked genius of Jackson C. Frank, the enigmatic American folk artist whose lone 1965 album—produced by Paul Simon—became a quiet touchstone for artists such as Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, and Mark Lanegan.

Reimagining 11 of Frank’s songs, Harvey and Acevedo breathe new life into his work, honouring its raw beauty while uncovering fresh depths.

Recorded in Harvey’s music room in North Melbourne and mixed by Alain Johannes across LA, Spain, and Chile, the album exudes brooding, dark atmospheres, with Harvey’s trademark stylings and Acevedo’s floating, expressive vocalisations.

The duo will continue working on The Uncovered Sessions while producing a new album of original material, set for release in 2026. Golden Mirrors follows their 2023 album Phantasmagoria in Blue and Harvey’s 2024 solo outing Five Ways to Say Goodbye.
