On The Mask and Mirror album, Loreena McKennitt have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Lead single “The Mystic’s Dream” and “The Bonny Swans” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since completing 1994’s ‘The Mystic’s Dream’, Loreena McKennitt fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is one of Loreena McKennitt best albums
The Bonny Swans is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. The Dark Night Of The Soul is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Marrakesh Night Market - arguably the best track on The Mask and Mirror album. I hope to keep hearing Loreena McKennitt works for a long time to come. Santiago is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Ce He Mise Le Ulaingt - The Two Trees is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Prospero’s Speech is a fine track on any terms.
