Pre-order Mia Gargaret by Gia Margaret: http://smarturl.it/miagargaret

Mia Gargaret is an ambient, (mostly) instrumental album by Chicago, IL singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & producer Gia Margaret.

Mia Gargaret was not the follow-up album that Gia intended to release after the critical success of her 2018 debut, There’s Always Glimmer. But after she suddenly found herself without use of her primary instrument, she had to rethink her methods, at least temporarily.

Gia explains:

“After having to cancel tours because of illness, I was unable to sing for nearly half of the year. This left me feeling like a shell of myself, so I turned to my synthesizer for comfort. These compositions helped me hold onto my identity as a music maker. At times this music helped soothe my anxiety more than therapy or anything else could.”

Without singing or lyrics to steal the focus, the instrumental tracks on Mia Gargaret shine a light on Gia Margaret’s skills as a musician, composer & producer. Spare but immersive arrangements of synthesizer, piano & acoustic guitar simultaneously ache & soothe, building emotional landscapes that rise & recede like scenery through a train window.

“I wanted to make something that sounded hopeful, which is a little ironic because I felt essentially hopeless during the entire process. I was making music to self-soothe. I had synth loops going while I walked around my apartment, forming my own daily soundtrack.”

Mia Gargaret documents Gia Margaret’s self-healing. Album opener “apathy” includes an excerpt from her actual vocal therapy exercises. “body” samples a lecture from British philosopher Alan Watts, a continuous source of comfort & perspective for Gia in times of confusion. (Permission to use the sample was personally granted by Mark Watts, son of the late lecturer, in exchange for the use of “body” in his documentary film about his father.) Other tracks feature the sounds of footsteps, church bells, crackling fires, lake waves & other field recordings from Gia’s day-to-day.

“I wanted to capture the feeling of a truly strange time in my life, even though I would prefer to forget it altogether. This process helped me understand something about myself, & hopefully it can help others, too.”

Mia Gargaret ends with “lesson,” the album’s only track to feature Gia’s singing voice. The short song teases at what we can expect from the next Gia Margaret album, a return to more traditional forms of songwriting, due in 2021. In the meantime, Mia Gargaret stands as a gorgeous experiment & a memorable meditation on the healing power of music.

Mia Gargaret was composed, performed & recorded at home by Gia Margaret during the summer & fall of 2019, with guest performances by Emily Cross (clarinet on “ash”), Stephen Steinbrink (vocals, organ & guitar on “lesson”) & There’s Always Glimmer collaborator Doug Saltzman (electronic drum production to on “body” & “lesson”).

A new track from Mamalarky out now on Fire Talk!

I’m bored. we're all bored. we wrote and recorded a song during this boring time. Here is exactly what it sounds like as a waveform. It's about falling in love and not knowing exactly how to say it yet. This concept of shared love-'you say you love me but what does that mean?' It's like...does love mean the same thing to both of us? Can it ever entirely mean the same thing, being different people who experience life so differently? Maybe that's why they invented the 5 love languages, to reconcile with these little differences in how we give and take and feel love? Maybe this expression that you're listening to now is as close to an understanding of love as anything else.
 
Everything on this track is the first take, meaning we only recorded each part once. It was home recorded, right after SXSW was called off by the covid. It was meant to be a demo and then we were like...actually this sounds more genuine than it would if we just sat in a studio and hacked away at different takes, trying to make it perfect. The result is organic and cage free, but may contain soy and tree nuts.

How To Say

Mamalarky - How To Say

Shadow Answers the Wall

https://uok.ffm.to/anywhereelse

«Anywhere Else is a song about anxiety. Not the panicky, all-consuming kind that often results in a severe physical reaction, but a smoldering and quiet sort of anxiety, a sort of uncomfortable buzzing in the body that never quite leaves you be. It took me many years to understand that this also is a form of anxiety. It can be relatively quiet, but it's there - always. This has had me in a soft grip for a long while, and I wrote Anywhere Else before I understood what it really was that I was experiencing. I thought it was normal to feel a bubbling sense of fear almost all the time. It can make me have a hard time deciding seemingly small things like what I'm going to eat, where I'm going to go on a walk, what coffee shop I'm going to go to, what I should wear, what I should do with my day, etc. It's a constant that I've felt for most of my life, without really understanding it or believing it to be anything but ordinary.  I've decided to release Anywhere Else at this time as it feels extra potent for me at the moment, with so many of us feeling a lot of uncertainty and fear about what's happening. I hope it can provide some comfort.»

Hide & Seek

Hide and Seek

Tucson, Arizona interdisciplinary artist Karima Walker walks a line between two worlds. Aside from her long resume of collaborative work with artists in the diverse fields of dance, sculpture, film, photography & creative non-fiction, Walker has long nurtured a duality within her solo work as a musician, developing her own sonic language as a sound designer in tandem with her craft as a singer/songwriter. The ongoing conversation within her music has never been so articulately explored, or imbued with as much intention, as it is on her new album, Waking the Dreaming Body.

With the exception of C.J. Boyd’s bass on “Window I,” Waking the Dreaming Body was written, performed & engineered entirely by Walker. Harmonic layers of guitar, piano, synthesizer, percussion, field recordings, tape loops & Walker’s own dulcet singing voice form a 40-minute dream-narrative of her conscious & subconscious minds, deftly moving between the rich textures of her ambient work & the melody & poetry of her Americana-tinged songwriting. The album’s more conventional, lyrics-focused tracks (“Reconstellated” & “Waking the Dreaming Body”) are punctuated by psychedelic instrumentals (“Horizon, Harbor Resonance,” “For Heddi”), their ebb & flow mirroring those waking moments where images & emotions are recalled & forecasted by the previous night's dreams. Night falls in regular intervals throughout the album, forming a natural dialogue between waking & dreaming.

Unlike her previous album (2017’s Hands in Our Names), where many of the tracks blended together as a continuously flowing narrative, Walker had a different intention for the eight stand-alone tracks that make up Waking the Dreaming Body. Walker explains:

“I wanted these songs to have more lyrical structure, to stand alone as more complete worlds, & this required a shift in my usual way of writing. I found myself trying to escape from an excess of interiority by exploring outward, by thinking about the mirroring & projecting that happens when you seek connection to others & to the natural world—when you try to bring the outside in. I sought to make arrangements that swell at certain moments & barely hold together at others, moving with my breath & other rhythms connecting my body to the natural world. Ultimately, I was seeking to draw myself out, to reconstruct my personal narrative with nature as my guide.”

Waking the Dreaming Body is out February 26, 2021 on Keeled Scales / Orindal Records.
