iTunes Review

It’s easy to get lost in the sheer abundance of sounds found on Thao & Mirah’s self-titled debut album. From the raucous tribal noise-cloud of “Eleven” to the playful junkyard twang of “Squareneck,” the duo serves up an off-kilter blend of folk, electronica and avant-garde elements to striking effect. But beyond their imaginative textures, singer/songwriters Thao Nguyen and Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn fill the album with a beguiling if sometime elusive eroticism, couched in teasing imagery and childlike melodies. Acoustic-centered pieces like “Folks” and “Little Cup” beckon with caressing vocals and subtle rhythmic pulsations. “Rubies and Rocks” turns up the groove quotient with brazen trumpets and honking sax, while “Sugar and Plastic” slides into a dreamy variation on country blues. Thao displays a soul diva-like persona on “How Dare You,” contrasting with the coffeehouse folk vibe radiated by Mirah on “Spaced Out Orbit.” As producer, Merrill Garbus (from tUnE-yArDs) juxtaposes the delicate with the disquieting, underscoring the flitting moods within the songs.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Musicianship

I have anxiously been waiting for this album for awhile now. I have been a fan of Thao Ngyuen for awhile but was unfamiliar with Mirah. Individually they are both excellent artists and together they make a fantastic duo. My favorite songs on the album would have to be How Dare You and Little Cup. I can't wait to hear more from them!

Ear candy.

Cosmo said, "if you like Regina Spektor, you will love Thao & Mirah". Truth.
The music is upbeat, eccentric, but mellow enough that you can listen to it no matter your mood.

She's Alive!

Finally! She's back! I have been waiting and waiting! Anyways, I didn't want to give it two stars but i dont really like it at all. It is nothing like Advisory Commitee or The Old Days Feeling which is what everyone expects of her. sure, in all her albums half of the songs are the slow and gentle ones and i love her slow and gentle music. but not an entire album of it. Cold cold water and The Garden and Recommendation and Make it Hot are my favorite songs of hers. I also love Monument and Shells but not an entire album of it. She always comes out with good music, like this album contains great music, but I want the old Mirah who mixes up her genre. Which is why my favorite album is You Think It's Like This...But It's Really Like This. I didn't care for (A)spera either because of how every song was soft and slow, but the songs individually were good. That's the exact story on this one. I hate to say this, but this is probably the only album by Mirah that I wont care to buy. =(

Years Active: '00s

Mirah (pronounced mear-rah) — full name Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn — was born on her mother's kitchen table. The daughter of artistic parents, the singer/songwriter had a passion for music from early childhood. While fronting the jazz band the Hot Set in Olympia, WA, playing wedding parties and bar mitzvahs to earn extra cash, Mirah began writing her own brand of lo-fi, slice-of-life indie pop, a style later compared to that of grrrl rocker Liz Phair.
