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.

Lyrics:

We stayed up late to watch a movie
April fools I think a Tuesday
Spring had just arrived
And so our clothes were hanging loosely

We stepped outside
To the old petrol station
Out of nowhere started raining
Kinda suited the occasion
Reminded me of when we spent our whole summer vacation
Two thousand eleven
Sleeping in my basement
Looking back I think that we just spent those 2 weeks wasted
Some side of love we tasted
You find your love you chase it

If I, If I never told you
That I wanna hold you
That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was old news
If I, If I never told you
That I wanna hold you
That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was old news

By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt
By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt

We stayed up late to watch the day arrive
Lucky number 25
Take a minute 
Just to live it
And that's when you'll realize
Every now and then 
The worst week makes the best weekend
And everything is better
Because I'm with all my friends
Some suburban kids just getting drunk out in the garden
Sitting by a swimming pool
With the best dressed kid from Harlem
Grass stains on my shoes
My rib cage is bruised
But that side of love we tasted 
You find that stuff you chase it

If I, If I never told you
That I wanna hold you
That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was old news

If I, If I never told you
That I wanna hold you
That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was old news

By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt
By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt

I'm not holding out For anything better
Can we just stay here forever? Can we just stay here forever?
I'm not holding out For anything better
Can we just stay here forever? Can we just stay here forever?
I'm not holding out For anything better
Can we just stay here forever? Can we just stay here forever?
I'm not holding out For anything better
Can we just stay here forever? Can we just stay here
Cause I should have told you

By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt
By now,
Cause you're coming over to my house
You're coming over to my house
Red eyes don't get rid of your doubt
