With  the retropop landscape somewhere between Martha And The Muffins, Tracy UWith nothing to go on but the name, I'd assumed that Maria And The Mirrors would be some sort of 80s-influenced pop group, bouncing amiably around the retropop landscape somewhere between Martha And The Muffins, Tracy Ullman and Kirsty McColl. Because...well, that's what their name sounds like, doesn't it? But names can be deceptive. Maria and the Mirrors aren't like that at all. In fact, the band resembles some sort of post-apocalypse urban tribal-trash future. When our consumer society finally falls to bits, and we're scrabbling through the ruins of the supermarket for the last tin of economy beans, this will be the music being piped through the speakers in the ceiling. Two girls in tinfoil dresses stand opposite each other and hammer away at deconstructed drum kits (these must be the Mirrors) while, in the middle, a bass-bloke connects the beats in the bottom end (presumably, he's Maria). One of the mirrors supplies vocal punctuation, and the resulting rhythmic, tumbling noise is at once exhilarating while being gloriously un-rock 'n' roll. Maria And the Mirrors don't deal overmuch in melodies – in their world, rhythm is king and the beat is the thing – but the band's heady rush and rumble does the job. llman and Kirsty McColl.
