Silent Portraits‘ singer Maxi is back again with the lo-fi, reverb-laden “Mirrorâ€. It’s a lonely song about looking into a mirror and trying to escape one’s own skin and/or finding an identity.

BETTER WITH AGE: Bill Callahan, aka Smog, is following up 2009′s “Sometimes I Wish I Were an Eagle†with a live recording of 11 older songs called “Rough Travel For a Rare Thingâ€.
