Double Double Whammy / Absolute Magnitude Recordings
Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn lives in Brooklyn, New York, where she works as a song writer, performer, producer and mom. In a constant dedication to expanding her tender repertoire of American folk songs into a larger context, her recordings
seek to find the magical amity between explorative percussion, orchestral sounds and elements of rock and popular music.
Since starting out in the late 1990’s, she has released over a dozen solo and collaborative recordings on various independent labels including K Records, Kill Rock Stars, Absolute Magnitude Recordings, Double Double Whammy and 7e.p., and toured solo and with countless iterations of he own band in concert halls, music clubs and punk basements all across North America, Japan and Europe.
Recent releases include 2018’s ‘Understanding’ and 2020’s 20th anniversary reissue of her first full length record ‘You Think It’s Like This But Really It’s Like This’. The deluxe double LP features a full covers record with contributions from over 20 artists including Flock of Dimes, Hand Habits, Mal Blum, Palehound, and Mount Eerie.
Mirah has dedicated her creative process to investigating the complicated intersections between individuals and communities, believing that with deeper understanding of each other, the seeds of a more beautiful and less violent world are planted.
“Mirah propels her magical, three-dimensional spaces with her clear beacon of a voice and instrumentation that slips from whisper-in-your- ear intimacy to rushing, tumbling aural avalanches.” -New York Press
