Mirror Parties is the brainchild of Glasgow-based musician Oreste Fazio, Latin American migrant from Santiago, Chile. 

The project began in 2012 in London before relocating to Glasgow, where Fazio became embedded in the local music scene. Still searching for his own sound, he began developing a mix of offbeat home-recorded pop songs, recording the album  Bear Vomit. Mirror Parties briefly expanded into a full band between 2013-2015, before a hiatus in which Fazio explored field recordings and noise music. In the 2020s, Mirror Parties resurfaced as a solo project, releasing the albums Art Music and Glasgow Babylon.

Mirror Parties crafts a sonic landscape built from an eclectic mix of sounds, styles, hopes, and their crushed counterparts. With lyrics rooted in dream logic, the music is detached yet comes from deep within, bursting from a mind that is rich with experience, and obsessed with sound in all its forms. 

The latest release, Strangers to Love, developed slowly over 18 months. It is a meditative sound bath filtered through the 80s—an album that rose from hell only to realise that the future never arrived. Instead, we ended up back where we started, piecing together melodies from the gutter. 

Using cheap synths, tape loops, and found sounds, Mirror Parties continues to make music from the fringes of a place that would not listen anyway. A journey through noise, failure, and the enduring search for meaning in a world that refuses to progress.
