Morgan Garrett has long been a stalwart presence in independent American experimental music. One of those souls reared in the borderlands where rural Appalachia begins to melt into the Midwest, where the shadows of DuPont Chemical and Perdue Pharma lay over thousands of lives. Reaching for any sonic tools without pretense of recapitulating any musical tradition, his work evades the confines of genre, but has found a home amidst both the more personal and off-kilter visions from Americana noise and industrial music, and the fringes of electronic music. Morgan's live performances are notoriously potent and surreal. The 2024 release of his acclaimed debut LP Purity on Orange Milk Records underscores the commitment to his craft and to the wider world of challenging electronic music. "The Mirror” is Morgan’s follow-up to Purity, and his most realized project to date.
