Hypnotic, Elegant, Sublime: Thievery Corporation's Downtempo Masterpiece The Mirror Conspiracy


Listen Later

If the name Thievery Corporation sounds familiar, you might remember "Lebanese Blonde", the track featured on the 2004 indie film Garden State. On this episode, we dive into the album that came before Zach Braff introduced the D.C. duo to hipsters everywhere: The Mirror Conspiracy. The album effortlessly blends elements of reggae, dub, bossa-nova, middle-eastern psychedelia, and even some Spanish guitar for good measure, with a level of precision and mastery that make for a truly hypnotic and sublime listening experience. Tune in as we nerd out over what makes this record so incredible.

Tracklist:

  1. Lebanese Blonde
  2. Indra
  3. Illumination
  4. Barrio Alto
  5. A Guide for I and I
