San Francisco-born singer-songwriter Ben Kweller returns with Cover The Mirrors, his seventh studio album - and perhaps his most personal work to date. Known in the late '90s as a member of post-grunge outfit Radish, who were signed to Mercury Records and even counted Nils Lofgren among their fans, Kweller has since carved out a long and prolific solo career rooted in melodic indie rock and unfiltered emotion. Cover The Mirrors is a deeply poignant record, written in honour of what would have been Kweller's late son Dorian Zev's 19th birthday. It also marks Kweller's first release since Dorian's tragic passing in 2023 - an event that reshaped both his life and his music. Far from retreating into silence, Kweller channels his grief into a collection of songs that explore loss, love, and renewal with raw honesty. "This is the most personal, emotionally raw project I've ever worked on," he reflects, and every track bears that truth. The album features an impressive roster of collaborators from across the indie landscape: Waxahatchee joins on "Dollar Store," a sparse and arresting song built on two vocals and a guitar that eventually erupts into a distorted, soaring finale; MJ Lenderman lends his touch to "Oh Dorian," a tender tribute steeped in warmth and melancholy; Jason Schwartzman resurrects his mid-aughts project Coconut Records for the haunting "Depression"; and psych-rock icons The Flaming Lips appear on the shimmering, otherworldly "Killer Bee." Musically, Kweller's craft is as sharp and sincere as ever - intimate yet expansive, stripped-down yet powerful. Cover The Mirrors captures an artist walking through grief with purpose, turning heartbreak into something both fragile and transcendent. It's the sound of Ben Kweller looking loss directly in the eye - and finding beauty, courage, and connection reflected back.
