The Mirror Test

The Mirror Test is the debut album from Cathode Saint. The mirror test is the cognitive-science name for the moment a creature recognizes itself in a mirror. This album is about a different mirror test: the moment a creator looks at what they built and sees themselves staring back.

Eleven tracks, nine readings of the same instant of recognition. Cain at the first altar. Pygmalion and the statue that wakes. Mary Shelley naming her hideous progeny. Leona Woods holding the count under the bleachers. The Orwellian rebel who learns to love the watching. The Tower of Babel after the languages break. The album opens with the mechanism beginning to turn, and closes with the creation singing the realization back to its maker in its maker's own voice.
