about

In Share This Place: Stories and Observations, Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Black Cat Orchestra acclaim team up with K Records recording artist Mirah to deliver a sweeping song cycle inspired by the tragic and triumphant lives of insects.

Inspired in part by influential French scientist/poet J.Henri Fabré, 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 the epic complexity of the insect world, the songs imply an inescapable comparison with our own.

A concept album of sorts, Share This Place is a score written by Goldston, Hanson and Mirah for a suite of twelve stop-motion animated short films by Britta Johnson.

released August 7, 2007

Along with Goldston and Hanson’s trademark cello and accordion, Spectratone International features percussionist Jane Hall and Kane Mathis on oud (Middle Eastern lute). 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 celebrated Northwest producer
Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden) and Phil Elvrum of The Microphones.
