,: Understanding, MirahÆs 6th full length solo record, is a :,
: conscientious return to her early unconventional recording :
:' process ù an embrace of spirited imperfection and rawness ':
,: inclusive of rough first takes, natural room sounds, and a fair :,
: amount of broken equipment. Bathed in the sparkles of disco ball :
:' light, Mirah recorded demos with vocals, guitar, organ, and ':
,: percussion in a former army barracks gymnasium at The Headlands :,
: Center for the Arts, where she spent four weeks as an artist in :
:' residence. ':
,: :,
: Once home in Brooklyn, Mirah teamed up with her frequent :
:' co-producer Eli Crews (tUnE-yArDs, The Julie Ruin, Son Lux) and ':
,: invited DeerhoofÆs Greg Saunier to join them in the studio. The :,
: collaboration sparked new textures and ideas. Building on top of :
:' MirahÆs vibrant original tracks, they used midi to transform a ':
,: marimba into a distorted farfisa melody, drastically lowered the :,
: pitch of vocals until they morphed into sub-bass lines, and :
:' added layers of distinct timbres from CrewsÆ extensive vintage ':
,: synth collection, a mellotron, and an 80Æs era Soviet drum :,
: machine. :
:' ':
,: Written and recorded in a time of political and personal :,
: upheaval ù family illness and the death of a dear friend, all in :
:' the shadow of the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath ':
,: ù Understanding presents an even hand of political themes, love :,
: songs and introspective rallying cries. As Mirah explains, ôWe :
:' all have needs and we all have dreams. We want so much to feel ':
,: love and to give to each other, to ourselves, to the world. But :,
: how does this fit in with the constant barrage of information :
:' and distraction, of truths and lies? How do we move through ':
,: this rapidly fluctuating reality with a sense of resilience and :,
: empowerment?ö One of the best lyricists of our indie rock :
:' generation, Mirah uses her sharp intellect, empathy, and a ':
,: measure of levity to shine a light on the world around us and :,
: the ways of our own hearts, showing us that understanding is :
:' what we all need a little more of. ':
