Share This Place

On these twelve songs, Spectratone's hybrid sound wanders easily through a range of influences, from early music to folk to psychedelia. Layered with their lush, meticulous tones are Mirah's ravishingly intimate vocals, recorded by Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden) and Phil Elvrum of The Microphones. Mirah's lyrics smartly humanize the trials and pleasures of the insect world, touching on themes of villainy, seduction, self-sacrifice, and love. Shining a light on this epic complexity, the songs imply an inescapable comparison with our own. A concept album of sorts, Share This Place is a score written for a suite of twelve stop-motion animated short films. One of them, 'Credo Cigalia', is included here, along with an illustrated lyric booklet.
