Inside DarWin’s “Distorted Mirror”: Mohini Dey’s Bass Lines Steer the Chaos
DarWin has returned with a striking new video for “Distorted Mirror” featuring an all star lineup of progressive musicians. At the center of the song’s power is bassist Mohini Dey whose fierce articulate playing locks in with drummer Simon Phillips to form the backbone of the track.
Dey’s Mayones bass provides both gravity and propulsion. Her tone cuts through the mix with clarity offering groove and melodic counterpoint to Greg Howe’s soaring guitar lines.
Mohini Dey is known for her technical mastery and fearless musicality. She brings a distinctive voice to DarWin’s ensemble. In “Distorted Mirror” her playing does more than anchor the music. It lifts it higher and reminds us why she is one of the most exciting bassists on the scene today.
For bass players the track is a perfect example of how the instrument can ground complex music while shaping it at the same time. Mohini Dey’s performance in “Distorted Mirror” is not just supportive. It is essential.
