On her fifth solo album, Mirah breaks it down and builds it back up again with the street smarts that only years behind the wheel of love can inspire.  Ready with the maps and driven to the rhythms on the radio dial, Changing Light’s ten songs carry us from heartbreak to wholeness and all the places in between.

Uprooted from her home after a scorching break-up, Mirah spent four years rambling and recording.  Tracks were laid down in almost two dozen houses and apartments — from the Northwest to Southern California to the East Coast. Sparse demos were recorded with co-producer Christopher Doulgeris in Portland and Los Angeles.  Embellishments were then added by a slew of friends and collaborators, including Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Mary Timony, Emily Wells, and Heather McEntire (Mount Moriah).  In Philadelphia, Mirah and her sister Emily Zeitlyn (Divers) penned “LC,” an homage to childhood inspiration Leonard Cohen.  Seattle-based composer Jherek Bischoff drew up intricate string arrangements which were recorded in the living rooms of each individual player.  And Tune-Yards producer Eli Crews co-produced several tracks with Mirah in her new hometown of Brooklyn, New York.

Changing Light’s reassuring compass is found in Mirah’s shimmering vocals and incisive descriptions.  There is yearning (“Gold Rush” and “Fleetfoot Ghost”) and hot anger (“Goat Shepherd”), but no shortage of lyrical and musical playfulness. Whether it be the T. Rex-inspired rough edges of “Radiomind,” the rollicking lo-fi bang-and-pop of “Goat Shepherd,” or the lush pop balladry of “Turned the Heat Off,” the album corrals string sections and vintage synths with horns, a multitude of guitar tones and overdriven drums.  With calm and clamor, Mirah brings us all closer together through her universal honesty and occasional use of the vocoder.

“It’s a break-up record.  It has some moments of darkness, some twists and turns, but ultimately, there’s a resolution,” says Mirah.  "So much can happen in four years, even forgiveness.”

While Mirah has been making independent pop records for well over a decade, Changing Light is the debut release on her new imprint, Absolute Magnitude Recordings.

Mirah’s Changing Light is out May 13th on Absolute Magnitude Recordings with support from K Records.

it looks like the tide is calling
send off is drawing near
the whistle blowing  
the commander's on the phone

i wont know your thoughts when i'm gone
i wont have a lot to say
but i'll be bored of smiling when it ain't at you

and its alright,  its alright
its alright, its alright 

why you'e my hand-me-down jean
i'm your warranted queen
my mouth on your spoon
goodnight red balloon

you play your cards with a mystery face
and use your golden grace
i'll be sending my guards to come find you
i don't know where to fall 
or if this is love at all
but your lips on mine have branded a sign

but its alright, its alright
it's alright, it's alright

you're my hand-me-down jean
i'm your warranted queen
my mouth on your spoon
goodnight red balloon

its alright

Lovers Wake
Written By Paul Hammer and Leah Hayes
Featuring Leah Hayes
Mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer

Lyrics:
We were brightly shining
Like a child’s dream
You were everything to me

Colors fade around me
A disillusioned scene
You were everything, everything… 

The dream is over now  
it was never what it seemed
Was it ever real? It was always real to me… 

We keep running from the ones we love the most,
And I know -

Left me in your lovers wake
I can’t let go of our mistakes
I wanna suffer…

Others never compensate
they’re drowning in their lover's wake
I wanna suffer, with you

(The dream is over now)
(I can't let go of our mistakes)

Left me in your lovers wake
I can’t let go of our mistakes
I wanna suffer…

Others never compensate
they’re drowning in their lover’s wake
I wanna suffer, with you

Lovers Wake

I wish I cared less what people thought about me
Would I still be who I am?
And if I cared less would you still hang around me?
Would I need any friends?

It doesn’t matter what I do
Doesn’t matter what I say
In the end we’re all gonna go away
When I’m looking at my life
For a final empty night
Will I change my mind or will I feel the same?

Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing control?
Am I losing my way?
Tell me cause I need to know

Am I opening up?
Am I shutting you out?
Am I going insane?
Tell me cause I need to know

I feel in love with someone who looks just like me
Seems like I know what I want
I figured how to warp how people see me
But I’m still stuck in this hole

"Underwater" Lyrics
-----------------------------------

Standing by the sea
Waiting for the ending
But on the horizon
There’s a new world beginning

Put the shell to your ear
And listen to the rhythm
Singing songs of the sea
It’s not an illusion

We are young, we are afraid but we are free
Cool the ashes in the sand beneath your feet

The sea is our constant
There’s secrets it holds
Dip your feet in the water
Let it take control

We are young, we are afraid but we are free
Cool the ashes in the sand beneath your feet

If we could breath underwater
If we could hold one another
What would we do, What would we do
We could do anything

If we could run on the sea bed
If we could let go of all regret
What would we do, would we do
We could do anything

Take me down down down down
Deeper into the sea
Take me down down down
Wrap me up in this dream

Warranted Queen
