Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been at the heart of the vibrant Northwest independent music scene ever since her debut album ‘You Think It’s Like This But Really It’s Like This’. A collection of her own 4-track recordings alongside collaborations with Phil Elverum of The Microphones/Mt. Eerie, the album became an instant classic. A follow-up to her first release, the stunning ‘Advisory Committee’ (2001) cemented Mirah’s place in the alternative music canon. These albums were an exploration of the territories beyond lo-fi, aiming to transcend mere technical limitations and to push the boundaries of ‘indie-rock’ towards a more meaningful communicative goal. Phil Elverum’s sound experiments collided with Mirah’s striking lyrical poise and unabashed emotional honesty and the resulting mix proved quite evocative. 2003 saw the release of ‘Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project,’ the result of a self-imposed artists-in-seclusion collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist and musician Ginger Brooks Takahashi. Mirah began working with Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Seattle’s Black Cat Orchestra in 2003 and the release of a collection of cover songs followed. The album ‘To All We Stretch the Open Arm’ was conceived as an anti-war statement and included renditions of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Story of Isaac’ and Kurt Weill’s ‘What Keeps Mankind Alive.’ Mirah’s third solo album ‘C’mon Miracle’ (2004) combined the ever-present youthful splendor of her earlier works with a more mature stylistic component which led many critics to hail it as her best work to date. A sonic expedition, Joyride: Remixes was released in 2006 and features dance remixes of tracks from Mirah’s three solo efforts by the likes of The Blow, Guy Sigsworth, and Anna Oxygen.

TOOOOOO bad! I just found out you came to my city some days ago. But I haven't visited your page for a while and, in the end, I didn't come to see you play. TOOOOO bad. Maybe it'd be a good idea to send out an email.. I have some 20 friends and can't visit all pages continuously: guess what someone who has hundreds can do. A pity. Well, hope it was nice. Few people have musical interest in Italy. See you next time, -K
thanks for the add and thank you very much for your great performance last tuesday at the unusual but beautiful place that is the "toy museum" in Colmar (Musée du Jouet).
I really discovered your music that night and liked your voice and songs.
How funny and spontaneous were you inside this "toy aeroplane" at the end of the show! lol
i was as well into the spanish mood you gave with the last band song rearranged from "C'mon Miracle". and after the show, you told me that your trip in Argentina might have influenced you and so did the pampa too? lol
