Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn is always up to something interesting. Whether on her great LPs or inventive side projects, Mirah writes and performs music that is creative and refreshingly organic - songs generally sound acoustic, even though they often have electric guitars. There's just something about her performances that sound homemade and piecemeal, in the best possible way.

Mirah recently teamed up with Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Spectratone International to set music to some short films by Britta Johnson. I don't know much about this performance piece, but Goldston's website says Share This Place is "Based in part on the writings of the influential French scientist/poet, Jean Henri Fabré , the show explores the tender, dramatic, sordid, tragic and triumphant lives of insects." Awesome.

Mirah and Spectratone International - Credo Cigalia.

My Tuesday was going just okay, and then I heard "Credo Cigalia," and it improved significantly. Coincidence? Probably not.

Share This Place comes out August 7 on the always excellent K Records, and you can pre-order it from Amazon.
