Here’s what people are saying about the record:
“Wow. Here’s a triple LP with a million songs on it, and I’m OK with that. This band is exactly as good as you’d imagine a band with releases on Flying Nun and DFA would be.”
—VICE
“Despite the album’s daunting length, Harte rewards listeners with some of his most affecting and expressive music yet. Ultimately, Guilt Mirrors feels like a journal of enduring, and surviving, many kinds of aftermaths.”
—ALL MUSIC GUIDE
“From quiet existential lullabies to crushing elegiac memorials to admissions of love, Guilt Mirrors is an artful triumph of sincerity and damn good music.”
—KCRW
“Musically, Guilt Mirrors is all over the map in the best possible way. The familiar Shocking Pinks lo-fi indie sound is present, but Guilt Mirrors is way more electronic and diverse, mining seams of krautrock, disco, drone and synth-pop, amongst other things, all fed through Harte’s lo-fi, hypnagogic haze.”
—Exclaim!
“It’s this not giving a fuck that gives the album such a fascinating ‘what will happen next?’ edge. Many people have said that if you cut [The Clash’s] Sandanista! down to a single album, you’ll have a classic. No way – it’s the warts that make it such a fascinating journey, and it’s the same with Guilt Mirrors’.
—THE LINE OF BEST FIT
“The real testament to Harte’s knack as a songwriter is how such an ambitious project can feel not just cohesive, but immersive.”
—POP MATTERS
“Harte creates a crumbling atmosphere on Guilt Mirrors – full of aggressive electronic beats, squalling noise and washed-out vocals – that occasionally gives way to moments of pop serenity.”
