Mirror Might Steal Your Charm received critical acclaim and featured other artists on various tracks, such as Mac Demarco on “Thy Mission.”

The band has been hinting at new material since late December 2019. 

The Garden also announced their Kiss My Super Bowl Ring North American tour, which will begin on March 26. Mirror Kisses, a “vocally driven pop project” by George Clanton, will join them. The tour will run through May 3. Find dates and more information here.
