Mirah: s/d?

The disco-ey version of "gone are all the days" that she's been playing live is awesome:

The (a)spera songs really awesome live with a full band. And so did "Light The Match."

That's me on guitar!

loved a lot of "C'mon Miracle" especially the cover art/title combo, so great. she is great. I think she could make a real masterpiece of an album if she wanted to but imo a big part of the Pacific NW scene outside of Seattle is resistance to attempting that sort of "this is what you suspected I'm capable of" record. imo both Elvrum & Mirah are big participants in this resistance

I dunno, I think (a)spera moves closer to that idea of "what she is truly capable of." It's definitely more "mature" (in a good way) than her previous records and the instrumentation/arrangements are more ornate and well-crafted. Seeing her live last night I was struck by how the diversity in her oeuvre continues to grow.

Dave: tell Mirah to record that and put it on a 7 inch or something!

(a)spera was DEFINITELY a move toward Making A Great Album compared to her last couple, which really just felt like collections of (not-very-good) songs. loved the (a)spiration on it.

I view Aspera as the official follow-up to C'mon Miracle. She just happens to do a lot of interim on-the-side albums in between (like the b-sides collection and the "Share this place" song cycle about insects.)

New album out in May! The tracks on her soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/mirahmusic) sound good/lush, definitely picking up where Aspera left off.

a record she made a couple of years ago that i can't remember the name of & which it would be stubborn to describe without reference to verbose newsom-wave music of the same era was really nice, i thought, the kind of best-work that sits in the shadow for not adhering to & exercising nuance not contained in earlier poppier work

i hope the new one's nice
i wonder if tjo's playing on it

Maybe I should revisit (a)spera, because I'm digging the new one so far (two tracks in).

love the new album!

Still love the new album. And this Guy Sigsworth remix is excellent:

She has so much potential but no signs of a “classic album” to be remember by, maybe a compilation album could do her justice, she releases at least one or two brilliant and I mean BRILLIANT cuts per record, shame the rest is so forgettable. COLD COLD WATER and NOBODY HAS TO STAY and LA FAMILIA are such great songs. I remember she was the sort of artist that made indie music seem so exciting for me in the 00’s.

wrong sorry. advisory committee is classic

there's definitely more than 2 good cuts on that record.

I like C'mon Miracle
