Watch the video for the new single 'Echo In The Field'.

Pianist and composer Kelly Moran has revealed her upcoming album titled ‘Don’t Trust Mirrors’, set for release on October 1st through Warp Records.
As a preview, Moran has released the lead single and opening track, ‘Echo in the Field’, accompanied by a dynamic video directed by Katharine Antoun.
Discussing the liberating essence of the new single and video, Kelly Moran states: “Few things scare me more than the thought of dancing in a music video. I wanted to confront that fear directly because this is the first track I’ve created that makes me feel like dancing, headbanging, and just letting loose. I collaborated with choreographer Juri Onuki (Caroline Polachek, Blood Orange) to learn choreography that allows me to express my music in an entirely different manner. I typically perform while seated, so I aimed to showcase another aspect of my physicality that reflects how this music resonates with me when I’m free from the constraints of a piano bench.”
‘Don’t Trust Mirrors’ follows her earlier acclaimed albums – ‘Bloodroot’ (2017), ‘Ultraviolet’ (2018), and ‘Moves in the Field’ (2024) – and signifies a significant return to a project that had been paused, illustrating the experience of seeing oneself through distortion, reflection, and the gradual process of reassembling oneself.
The album features her Warp Records labelmate Bibio and consists of 10 tracks of stunning textural variations — reflecting light, sharp edges, and the complete spectrum of embracing authentic embodiment.
To promote the album, Moran will embark on her first-ever US tour, with dates scheduled across Europe, including two performances at Cafe Oto in London next February. CD copies of the album will initially be available exclusively, with a wider physical release to follow.
