While \u2018Idiot Piss Illiterate\u2019 rode on a frantic garage rock undercurrent,\u00a0\u2018Mirrorhead\u2019 swaps ragged pace for bruising waves of heavy sound (<em>Junkie Smile<\/em>, <em>Victimhead<\/em>, <em>Shame<\/em>) interspersed with moments of stripped-back exposure (<em>Fuck It I Quit<\/em>, <em>Muring Calm<\/em>). The result \u00a0is Pink Mexico\u2019s most definite and tangible work. \u2018Mirrorhead\u2019 is not only a record but a recollection of memories and experiences embroidered through experimentation and through the reconstruction of self. Through the unknown, Collum revisited music writing and re-imagined his work, tracing a new and personal path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Mirrorhead\u2019 was produced, recorded, engineered and mixed by Jeremy Scott. Robert Preston Collum wrote all songs, sings, and plays drums, guitar &amp; synth on the album. Additional tracking was provided by fellow band mates Grady Walker providing bass and Paul Blackwell on guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release of\u00a0\u2018Mirrorhead\u2019 will be celebrated with a special album release show\u00a0on June 11th\u00a0at TV Eye in Ridgewood, Queens, with TVOD, Substitute and a special guest TBA.
