In the late '90s and early 2000s, Mirah defined the sound of K Records along with artists such as the Microphones & Phil Elverum. Together, on albums including 2000's âYou Think It's Like This But Really It's Like Thisâand 2002's âAdvisory Committeeâ, they crafted a skillful concoction of guileless indie and more sophisticated influences. As the years went on, Mirah expanded the range of people she worked with to include artists such as Thao Nguyen, the Black Cat Orchestra, and Jherek Bischoff, and collaborative projects were just as vital to her body of work as her solo albums.
Two decades later, Mirah is releasing a deluxe reissue of her debut, "You Think Itâs Like This But Really It's Like This" accompanied by a full tribute version of the LP with over 20 artists such as Mount Eerie, Half Waif, Shamir, & Palehound. The album brims with timelessly necessary feelings: of dreaming in the moment, of not having expectations, making art because itâs fun, and unsupressable exuberance.
