Unicycle Loves You Is The Poppiest Of Them All With "Mirror, Mirror"

Nearly two years to the date after their self-titled Highwheel Records debut was released, idiosyncratic power-pop Chicagoans Unicycle Loves You have just announced the details for album number two. Mirror, Mirror, which the band self-produced, is due on September 7 on Highwheel Records, and, to promote the record, the band has released the title track as a free MP3. The group’s sun-kissed, melancholy pop is reminiscent of a less fuzzed-out Raveonettes, with whom Unicycle Loves You recently played.
Throw in a dash of Bowie in the spaced-out keyboards and production, and bassist/vocalist Nicole Vitale's dreamy vocals, and you’ve got a song that’s awfully irresistible. We hope that the band isn’t throwing out all of the dizzy sonic tricks that comprised its debut, but if “Mirror, Mirror” is any indication, Unicycle Loves You have plenty more up their sleeves which will thrill Chicago music fans. Take a listen to “Mirror, Mirror” below.
