Covenant's new single “Sound Mirrors” gives us a first impression of
their forthcoming album "The Blinding Dark." For the first time ever,
the Swedes address distinctly topical events in world politics: the
refugee crisis with its accompanying hysteria and the anxiety about the
future of a European continent that looks forward into uncertainty.
Sound Mirrors were acoustic mirrors that looked like giant stone ears,
placed along the English coast between 1916 and 1930 in order warn of
approaching planes or war ships. Their elliptical shape bundled acoustic
signals, and they were considered to be both technological and
constructional masterpieces. Faster planes and especially the invention
of radar made sound mirrors obsolete later on, so today, they are merely
stone witnesses of bygone times along the southern and north-eastern
coasts of England. The reference to the refugee crisis and creeping
radicalisation of Europe becomes particularly obvious when hearing
Covenant's lyrics for the corresponding song. Musically, the band does
not miss out on anything, delivering a club smasher that harks back to
single classics such as “Stalker” or “Last Dance.” While unusual
splashes of colour enhance the overall picture, “Sound Mirrors” is bound
to become an enduring earworm that will soon set dancefloors aflame.
