Mirah


Despite Mirah being on K Records and attending Evergreen State University, she is actually based in San Francisco. She has collaborated with Seattle-based musicians, such as Lori Goldstein and Phil Elverum from The Microphones.

Her music is lo-fi indie rock. There are often these moments where her music becomes dissonant. In the song "Nobody Has to Stay," (below) her voice actually pushes so far higher than her range that it breaks. There's something particularly charming in this simplicity in the song "Engine Heart." In that song, she uses the phrase "carbonated thighs" which is delightful.
