Here's what we know aboutMirror Talk: they're a new quartet from LA and they create slick synth-pop. Like the sonic equivalent of black silk sheets—sort of money, but sorta tawdry too. They feel good. Apparently one member of the band started making music back in the day with the aid of two synthesizers from his parents' Christian-rock band.This cinematic video for "Don't" —lifted from their EP, Infatuation—details one never-ending night where your friend is a super wasted hot mess. She's slumped out in just a leather jacket (no shirt) and jeans, clutching an empty bottle of JD. She's argumentative, can't walk straight, and she's not nailing her vocals in the studio. Nightmare. We've all been there.Other notable points:- The nod to Warhol and the silver foil walls of The Factory.- The baby blue topdown ride at 1.43.- The hazy euphoria of the chorus which runs: "It's not over/Even when it's over." (Truth bomb.)- The protagonist's wine red mullet. (Wait, do we need to cut a mullet now?)Watch it.Kim is Noisey's Style Editor and she's on Twitter - @theKTB
