About MIRAH:

Mirah first emerged from the flourishing late 90’s Pacific Northwest music scene with the release of her debut LP You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This. Co-produced by Phil Elverum — on whose early Microphones Records Mirah was regularly featured — the album immediately established her as a generational songwriting talent and her passion for recording and producing, initially sparked by her collaborations with Phil, continues to glow to this day. This first album's influence has echoed down to the present day, "shaping the aesthetic of bedroom pop" (NPR), and impacting the output of two generations of indie musicians, as evidenced by the expanded reissue of the album released by Double Double Whammy in 2020.

Mirah has remained a beloved and idiosyncratic voice through indie rock's many permutations. Now — six full length solo records and a half-dozen collaborative albums, EP’s and funny side-projects in — Mirah is releasing her latest record, Dedication, in February 2026. This album is a co-release between her own Absolute Magnitude imprint and Double Double Whammy, with a limited edition plant-based vinyl edition being released by PIAPTK.

Mirah continues to tour, both solo and with countless iterations of her own band in concert halls, music clubs, living rooms and punk basements all across North America, Japan and Europe.
 
 
About SPOILS:

Born in a riverbed in Cincinnati, Spoils emerged as a post-pandemic indie rock project between roommates and friends. Announcing their arrival in 2022 with Find Later, their first EP written by songwriter, guitarist, and violinist Nina Payiatis, the band has changed shape over the years while remaining true to their Midwestern roots. Channeling predecessors like that dog., Dear Norah, and The Spinanes, Spoils paints with a well-loved palette composed of the signs and sounds of Cincinnati, nestled somewhere between the South and the Midwest.

The close-knit collaboration often associated with Cincinnati's scene is reflected in everything from the band’s makeup (two roommates, Payiatis and guitarist/synth player Samantha Smyjunas, plus a married couple, bassist Elise Martini and drummer Leo Martini), to their upcoming EP, Mile Wide Inch Deep (coming spring 2026), recorded and produced by Leo's brother, Louis.

The depth of their bond rises to the surface of Spoils' compositions, with lyricism that meditates on universal rites of passage: chance encounters, post-lockdown reconciliation, questions of loss and of love. An answer to living in the Midwest, Spoils is woven into the lush of the Little Miami river, the waning light of a winter moon, the quilted tapestry of Ohio.
