{"product_id":"thao-mirah-thao-mirah","title":"Thao \u0026 Mirah - Thao \u0026 Mirah","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo songwriters who had spent years building separate catalogs decided to make one record together, and handed the production reins to a third. Thao Nguyen and Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn cut this self-titled collaboration in 2010 across studios in San Francisco and Oakland, with Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs producing alongside them. Kill Rock Stars released it in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGarbus's fingerprints are all over it, and that is the record's best idea. \"Eleven\" opens on programmed beats and stacked vocals, \"Folks\" builds from surdo and trumpet into something close to a parade, and \"Teeth\" gathers hand claps, stomping, and a room full of backing singers into its final stretch. The quieter moments land just as hard, with \"Little Cup\" carried by nylon-string guitar and \"Hallelujah\" closing out on wine glasses and two voices in close harmony. Neither writer defers to the other, and the friction is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt remains a document of a specific moment in independent music, when three distinctive artists could put their names on one sleeve and let the seams show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis LP pressing comes via Kill Rock Stars with a download card and a fold-out lyrics and credits sheet. A collaboration record that deserves more attention than it got.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47482425966754,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/759656053822-CoverArtImage1.jpg?v=1785278673","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/thao-mirah-thao-mirah","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
