Two tracks from the upcoming Mirah album, C'mon Miracle, due in May. I don't have the track names, so they're going to have to be mysterious and untitled. The record is more sedate than Advisory Committee, more humble and reflective. It feels less performed, for better or for worse. Although I like these songs, they don't come close to the outright majesty of Mirah's best cut, "Cold Cold Water," and nor does the album-as-a-whole reach the carefree, small-and-wild heights of You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This.

Oh, and for those unfamiliar with her, Mirah does dusty, sexy, cherub-faced indie folk. She is also very sweet in person.

Mirah - "Track 1". Lulling, serious, plucked strings, and then long bolts of cello. A dark, Grimm's Fairy Tale of a song, not quite sold on its message of love: "Stars will kiss your pretty face / Come away with me today / Everything should be okay."

Mirah - "Track 7". This one's probably called something like "Argentina Sky." Drums patter behind a friendly acoustic guitar and Mirah's savvy, winking voice. Great use of cymbal tinkles and a big-bosomed accordion -- extra points for the smattering of Portuguese in the middle, backed by a wussy Microphones chorus of harbour "lai la lai"s.
