The EP is not a typical first effort. Blending contrapuntal composition with intricate lyrics, the epic songs expand on each listen. The Mirror Stage draws its sound equally from TV on the Radio's dense cacaphony, Steve Reich's composed Minimalism, and Bob Dylan’s prophetic lyricism. The Mirror Stage shapeshifts through genres casually. Each song sounds a bit different from the last, whether it is the accessible almost-ballad “At the Still Point of the Turning World” or the minimal loops of “Electrical Storm.” On the title track, the band covers more territory than most bands cover in a career. Bookended by twittering dulcimers, the propulsive song calls forth a cast of characters from 10,000 years of history in an attempt to understand the source of the atomic bomb. The one thing that doesn’t change is the lyrical depth, creative arrangements, and continual experimentation. Behind a barrage of language & allusion, the music quietly creates its own vocabulary. Ten Thousand Tongues is a rare work that is immediately listenable, yet speaks in a language all its own.
