(Indie Folk / Chamber Pop) Mirah - Sundial [EP] - 2017, MP3, 320 kbps

Mirah has announced a new EP. Sundial arrives October 4 via Absolute Magnitude, following her 2014 album Changing Light. The project is a collaboration with musician and composer Jherek Bischoff, who helped Mirah write string quartet arrangements for several songs in her catalog last year. With the exception of the title track, each of the songs on Sundial was previously released with different arrangements. Listen to the title track and find the EP’s cover art and tracklist below. Sundial will be issued as a limited edition 12” clear vinyl record. The digital deluxe version will feature four bonus tracks, including "The Country of the Future," which was recently featured in Jill Soloway’s TV series “I Love Dick.”
Sundial began as a special project Mirah was asked to do for the BRIC Arts/Media House in Brooklyn in 2016. She immediately contacted longtime friend and collaborator Jherek Bishoff to work on creating string arrangements for some of her songs for this special performance. Following the project the two decided to tour the songs with a string quartet. Never one to do things in the normal order, it was only after the shows were over that it dawned on Mirah to make a record of all this beautiful stuff. With the exception of "Sundial" each of these songs has appeared on a previous recordings, now with new breath breathed into them by the unique and varied arrangements.
