LA dream pop duo Mirrorball places bets in new “Take A Shot” video

Today Los Angeles indie-pop duo, Mirrorball, releases their latest single, “Take a Shot,” from their debut EP recorded by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). The song is now available across all major streaming platforms and you can watch the video HERE.

Mirrorball is an indie-pop duo based in Los Angeles. Composed of Alexandra Johnstone and Scott Watson, the pair channels dream pop blended with overcast psych pop and is quickly making a name for themselves on the indie scene.

“Take a Shot” finds inspiration in Johnstone’s father’s photographs, particularly those taken at the Santa Anita Racetrack in the 1970s. “I would think about the people in the photos and what their lives were like. I would wonder if they ever scored that big win and how things panned out for them.” Johnstone shares.

“It’s about taking your shot at life and betting on the next horse be it good or bad. It’s a little bit of a challenge too. Have you ever felt that someone wants to say something to you, but for some reason they can’t say it, and you want them to just take their shot? Let’s just leave the cards on the table, no matter how they lay.”

Mirrorball’s single “This Time” debuted on Dangerbird Records in 2019 and caught the attention of producer Chris Coady, paving the way for their upcoming EP.
