Lights and Offerings (2010–2011)
After this they came to the attention of Skint Records. Skint Records appeared to be an obvious choice, because the label is from Mirrors' home town Brighton, making face-to-face contact much easier. The label also understand their goals and artistic direction.
Mirrors continued with performing the occasional gigs in the United Kingdom until they headed into the studio in June 2010, working on their debut album. Having written most of the material already in 2009, the album sessions could be finishing in just one month. The first single from these sessions was "Ways to an End", released on 23 August as a download and 7" vinyl single. In 2010, Mirrors were chosen as a support act by OMD, one of their influences. The band released two more singles and a special tour EP before their debut album Lights and Offerings was released on 28 February 2011 in the UK and on 18 March in Europe.
They started touring as a headline act on 12 April 2011 in Cologne, Germany and supported OMD in Spain in June.
A fourth single from the debut album was released on 6 June 2011 being "Look at Me" with the double A-side "Perfectly Still". The single was previously released in 2009 on the Pure Groove label. The new single features a new remix by Simon Thornton.
Mirrors' first documentary was aired on Channel 4 on 9 June 2011 at 0:35am GMT as part of the 4Play program. On 8 July 2011 they performed live in Berlin, Germany, at the Michalsky Stylenite fashion show which was streamed live on the internet
On 16 August 2011 Mirrors announced that they cancelled the September performances with OMD plus their performance at Bestival, Isle Of Wight, as they were working on new material.
Radioactive Man released a remix of the Mirrors' track "Ways to an End" on 12 September 2011. The digital bundle contains a remix and an instrumental version of the aforementioned remix.
On 13 October Ally Young announced he was leaving the band.
