Young the Giant turned the camera around on Mirror Master, their fourth album, out on Elektra on October 12, 2018. Where Home of the Strange had wrestled with politics in America, this one looks inward, and singer and lyricist Sameer Gadhia built it around the mirror: the idea that you meet a slightly different person in the glass every morning, that the polished self people post online is only one slice of who they are, and that everybody is carrying some anxiety, sadness or depression under the filter. Owning all of it, he figures, is how you get to be master of your own image.
The Irvine band, who started out as the Jakes in 2004, give those thoughts a glossy, roomy indie-rock setting, with Jacob Tilley and Eric Cannata on guitars, Payam Doostzadeh on bass and François Comtois on drums. "Superposition" is the one that carried it onto the countdowns.
