Twisted Tongue

Available now on iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/heart-of-daisies-single/id842867593

Yuko Nishiyama’s debut single Heart of Daisies combines lashes of strings and driving rhythms; hypnotic layers of instrumentation and harmony. The song is her response to a close friend’s struggle to find love – and Yuko captures the subject’s transformative moments with subtle grace. Heart of Daisies is a glimpse of what is yet to come from a strong new voice for the Australian indie-pop scene.

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.
