Artist Of The Moment.... |
Who's been playing on Rob's stereo this recently.... hear ten selected tracks by this artist on the grain division radio now [ Listen Here ].
Miranda Arieh
Miranda Arieh's songs really appeal to me. I seem to not get bored of them - me, who has the short attention spam and whose music tastes are often short lived. I appriciate the way that her songs are essentially pop songs - short and catchy - but they flow and ebb in unusal ways and simple layers of sound (often just acoustic guitar and acoustic bass) give way to complicated parts. The bass is used as a lead rather than a backing instrument and it's exceptional. Her voice can be soft and gentle or a roaring bellow. Yes, I once descripbed her as sometimes sounding like a little girl and sometimes like Mumm-Ra the Ever Living when she's really roaring. I think I'll stand by that. We've had the pleasure of her company at several Grain Division events now and we await the next! Brilliant!
