about

Healing is not linear. It doesn’t come in a specific shape or form and it happens differently for everyone. Santa Barbara-based noir pop artist Alexandra Riorden knows this, and harnesses her own experience with darkness and healing in her new single “Dirty Mirror.” The title itself brings to mind the lack of clarity and blurred reality that can come in the wake of trauma while dramatic strings, starry guitars and Riorden’s smoky vocals tell a story of pain, reflection and healing.

lyrics

I don’t have the time
For another break
In my better knowing

I gave you the key
You gave me the reason to leave
Tried my best not to believe
How does everything get so damn hazy?

I, he
I, he
Dirty mirror, dirty mirror
Dirty mirror

I tied my own limbs
Fixed them all together with pins
Precariously

I, he
I, he
Dirty mirror
Turning inward
Water within
Tides are shifting
What is without thee?

Dirty mirror, dirty mirror
Dirty mirror, dirty mirror

Is it a king who gives you wings?
Apparently only when he leaves
There is no one looking out for me
I have never felt so free,
Ironically

about

Alexandra Riorden California

Alexandra Riorden’s debut LP Angel City Radio is an abstract chronicle of the tumultuous healing process after experiencing trauma, wrapped in a smoke-scented velvet curtain of shimmering indie-rock. Progressing like a Lynchian dream sequence, each song takes the listener down a different hallway in the labyrinth that is recovery; some dark, others reflective, but all moving towards empowerment. ... more
