Strong indie folk/ pop with fem vocals, poetic lyrics. Mirah has a great voice – clear, powerful, fragile (Chan Marshall, Joanna Newsom come to mind). Her first album in 5 years. No FCCs. Try 2, 10, 1, 4, 8. 1) * Cinematic pop: violin crescendo, big background drums. 2) * Beautiful, understated. This one’s all about her voice & the guitar string squeaks. 3) Airy folk tune 4) * Gentle tune guided by harp, plucked acoustic guitar. 5) Sultry. Drum shuffle, castanets. 6) Grand, militant tones in electric guitar & horns. Harsher vocal delivery. 7) Jazzy. Vocals & hand drum with a sprinkling of chimes, horns, drumset. 8) * Stripped down vocals, electric guitar & a bit of keyboard. 9) Straightforward, but gathers strength & gets interesting toward the end. 10) * Positive lyrics, sounds like a clear sunny day. She does some Bjork-like things with her voice in this one. | ||
