'something gentle this way comes...' in the form of K records star and olympia washington resident, mirah yom tov zeitlyn. having only appeared live once in the uk (with a crowd-stunning set at 2002's ladyfest london), the intimate nature, and impressive innovation of her records have won mirah a devoted following of fans in this country and around the world.

her songs are infused with the political, the sexual and the theatrical - of volcanic eruptions and expansive western skys. yet the poetic and personal underscore their delivery such that even the most casual listener is caught in her web, a sassy world of desire, heartache and longing wrapped in a bundle of joyous noise. having worked with the likes of phil elvrum (MICROPHONES, MOUNT EERIE) and calvin johnson (BEAT HAPPENING, DUB NARCOTIC), her blend of lo-fi sensibility and unbridled vision - where folk music mixes seemlessly with electronica; the subtle with the epic - have created some of the most uncomprimising and original records of recent years.

on this tour, mirah will sing and play guitar. she will also be accompanied by friends playing violin, double bass and accordion.

mirah's latest album, c'mon miracle is out now on K, and will be released in the UK on july 11th by arrivederci baby! records.
