Sub*T – “Mirror Image”

Grace Bennett and Jade Alcantara made friends online before buying guitars, learning to play them, and becoming the Brooklyn-based fuzz-pop duo Sub*t. They recorded their 2021 debut EP So Green with Bully's Alicia Bognanno and their 2024 follow-up Spring Skin with Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch, and now they're getting ready to drop their full-length debut How My Own Voice Sounds. We posted lead single "Overcomplicate," and now they've shared another one called "Mirror Image."

I really like "Mirror Image." Right now, we've got a whole lot of young bands making bleary, grungy pop songs like this, but I'm not sick of it yet, especially when the songs are this good. "Mirror Image" moves with a sense of purpose, and it's got bittersweet hooks exploding out everywhere. If you're into bands like PONY or Wishy or Dazy, you will probably find a lot to like here. Here's what the band says about the track:

This song is about looking deep within yourself and facing the hard parts you aren’t proud of. We did something fun on the bridge — it’s actually a reversal of our voices. It’s also a song about how emotions can haunt you until you reconcile with them. For the video, we knew we wanted to fully play into this idea, and what better way than a ghost story in a creaky old house in New Jersey, where the thing haunting you is just yourself?

How My Own Voice Sounds is out 5/1.
