Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo have announced details of their new album Golden Mirrors (The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1), the first in a series of projects investigating songwriters for whom Harvey and Acevedo have a particular predilection. Golden Mirrors (The Uncovered Sessions Vol. 1) is set for release on Mute digitally on 28 March 2025, with an exclusive gold vinyl Australian edition, via Impressed Recordings, also available on release. The album will precede a series of dates across Europe.
Golden Mirrors is their second collaborative album, following Phantasmagoria in Blue (2021) which received international recognition.
The new album sees the duo cover 11 songs by the American songwriter Jackson C. Frank, an almost forgotten but recently rediscovered folk singer from the mid-sixties, whose sole album release was produced by Paul Simon and who counted Laura Marling, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Mark Lanegan and Fairport Convention as fans.
Golden Mirrors delves into a blend of haunting, cinematic soundscapes and emotional introspection, with a heavier focus on both experimental sounds and more expansive, rich arrangements. The album reflects a deepening of the artists' creative chemistry. Mick Harvey's atmospheric guitar work, signature production, and post-punk influences are balanced by Amanda Acevedo's ethereal, emotive voice, which brings an extra dimension to the music. Golden Mirrors explores self-reflection, transformation, and the beauty found in discomfort.

Mick Harvey is renowned as a Musician, Record Producer and Composer who has been active for the last 45+ years and is perhaps best known as a member of The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds and for his long term collaborative work with PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. Aside from scoring 10 feature films and numerous short films and documentaries, split almost evenly between Australia and Europe, Harvey has also released 10 solo albums in the last 2 decades and been the recipient of several Australian Music Industry Awards. He won the AFI Best Original Score for 'Suburban Mayhem' in 2006 and in 2011 took out British Producer of the Year for his (co)production on PJ Harvey's 'Let England Shake'.
This is Mexican artist Amanda Acevedo’s second project in collaboration with Mick Harvey. After spending 2020/21 studying film in her home town of San Luis Potisí, Acevedo teamed up with one of her heroes to create a thematically rich collection of duets and continues that work into 2025 with this new release. She is currently studying and working in Melbourne, Australia.
