ROUTE 77
A 10 track Album CD digipack. 64 minutes of music showcasing Mirror System’s mastery of the chill out genre.
Mirror System is the chill out orientated sister project of Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy’s System 7. The Mirror System style features rolling grooves and a subtle blend of rich dreamy electronics and guitar, also incorporating a soft minimal tech-house element.
Route 77 is the third standalone Mirror System album, and the first studio release of any kind by Hillage and Giraudy since 2018’s Café Seven. A theme of the album is travel, and the wide open spaces and colours of the American South-West.
