About Falling Mirror
Alternative rock band from Cape Town, South Africa We all know Falling Mirror's 'Johnny Calls The Chemist', a 5FM #1 hit in 1986, still played regularly on radio. Its sound is immediately arresting, like a fantasy of Dylan fronting Dire Straits. This first release of the album on CD is an occasion to rediscover this memorable gem in its proper context; the concept album, described by Andrew Donaldson as "a bent tale about a doomed and twisted suburban love affair".
