Mirah has announced the reissues of her beloved and long out of print albums Advisory Committee and C'mon Miracle, out April 16 via Double Double Whammy.
Advisory Committee, which includes landmark tracks “The Garden” and “Special Death,” crystalized Mirah’s reputation as a notable songwriter. The album will be available, on bright red colored vinyl, for the first time since 2002. Mirah’s critically-acclaimed 2004 album C’mon Miracle (named Best New Music by Pitchfork upon its release) will be available, on sea blue colored vinyl, for the first time since 2014.
"I remember the time of making these early recordings as a lucid one. It was a very free feeling. And I was both young enough and old enough to truly enjoy every moment" says Mirah. "When I listen to these records now I can still hear the ecstatic lack of restraint in our choices, the authenticity of recording to tape, the incredible fun we had, and of course, the seagulls." - Mirah

| Listen to Mount Eerie’s Of Pressure Cover, and Mirah’s remastered Of Pressure |
"It was a joy to record my version of Mirah's song 'Of Pressure' using the old cassette 4 track and all the instruments we used to use together in the old days, same air organ, same antique drum machine, same chaos. I remember when Mirah first recorded her original. It was part of a batch of songs that she worked on independently of our collaboration in Dub Narcotic studio. Her 4 track world. That one was a big built world of mounting layers, the feeling of pressure and depth. I loved it and I still do. I wanted to see if I could make it a little more oppressive even." - Mount Eerie's Phil Elverum
| Listen to Half Waif’s Murphy Bed Cover, and Mirah’s remastered Murphy Bed |
"It was a huge honor to record a cover for the legendary Mirah in celebration of this 20th anniversary reissue. I chose ‘Murphy Bed’ because I could immediately hear the chorus being reimagined as a more choral-focused arrangement. There’s also something obviously sensual about this song lyrically, so I wanted to play that up with the slow backbeat and just have some fun with it. I’m really grateful to Mirah for her fearless songwriting, and I loved getting to interpret that with my own arrangement." - Half Waif’s Nandi Rose
