SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: MIRAH – DEDICATION

MIRAH
DEDICATION
DOUBLE DOUBLE WHAMMY RECORDS

Mirah, or more precisely, Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, is no newcomer and it shows. Her latest album, simply titled Dedication, is her seventh release, and all the experience she has gathered so far as an artist is coming to full bloom. It is not only in a varied thematic of her songs, or their intense quality, but also in her assured, intriguing delivery and intricate arrangements that abound here.

Her initial days as an interesting lo-fi prospect over at K Records, for whom she recorded her debut, have turned her into a singer-songwriter who dares to take musical routes some other artists avoid, particularly in their storytelling department, and that has brought her quite a few fans, including other like-minded artists. After all, Mount Eerie covered one of her songs at one point.

To that effect, it is not surprising that there is a set of established artists supporting her here (Rob Shelton, Meg Duffy, Andrew Maguire, and Jenn Wasner), giving the album some ethereal touches that give Dedication an extra quality.
