I like they stuck to another one word title, and the only reason I can think for the name is maybe it was metaphorical. Is it true, or just a mirage that FM is back together. You know, that sort of thing. After Tusk and Bella Donna, there were doubts FM would make another album. That’s the only thing I can think of.

Even Pitchfork acknowledged the ambiguity surrounding Mirage's title.

"It’s hard to find any comment about why they chose to name their thirteenth record (and fifth under this lineup) Mirage, though the resonance is obvious in hindsight: It’s the illusion of the band, rather than the full-blooded beast."
