Lights and Offerings is the first studio album by British synthpop band Mirrors. The album was released in the UK on 28 February 2011 and on 18 March 2011 in Europe. The title comes from the Mirrors song "Lights and Offerings" which was a B-side of their 2009 single "Into the Heart". The song was re-recorded during their album sessions in June 2010, but never mixed or finished for inclusion on the album. Most songs were already written and demoed in 2009. The songs "Secrets" and "Hide and Seek" originally started as Mumm-Ra songs, written by James New. "Secrets" was later transformed into a 14 minutes song though the band decided to edit the track down to 10 minutes due to pressure from the record label. Mirrors released a few demos in 2009 and 2010 of songs that would later appear on the album, being "Hide and Seek", "Organ Song", "Searching in the Wilderness", "Look at Me", "Into the Heart", "Fear of Drowning" and "Somewhere Strange". Critics drew comparisons to electronic acts such as Kraftwerk, OMD and Depeche Mode.
