Mirah Reveals New Album, Tour
Bug out, if you please; K Records songstress Mirah, along with Spectratone International-- who sometimes moonlight as Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Black Cat Orchestra— will release Share This Place: Stories and Observations on August 7.
The album, which explores such tried-and-true lyrical themes as the lives of insects, was inspired by French entomologist Jean Henri Fabre. The record was produced by Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Low, Beat Happening) and frequent Mirah collaborator Phil Elvrum of Mount Eerie.
And Share This Place isn't just an album. It's a multi-media experience! The music is meant to accompany a series of twelve animated short films by Britta Johnson. The film Credo Cigalia is included on the Share This Place CD.
Mirah will also saddle up her pony right on a few dates, including a string of mid-May appearances at Seattle's International Children's Festival.
