Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn was born September 17, 1974, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has released a number of albums under the K Records label. She has collaborated with her close friend Phil Elvrum of The Microphones and has also worked extensively with The Black Cat Orchestra.

Mirah is the youngest of three children and lived in Bala Cynwyd, a suburb of Philadelphia for most of her childhood. She then moved to Olympia, Washington and attended The Evergreen State College. She is modest and deliberate, prefers privacy to invasion and reconciliation to war. Mirah is Jewish and her middle name means “good day” or “holy day” in Hebrew.

Mirah visited South America, specifically Argentina, and was so struck by the music and culture that several songs on C’mon Miracle reflect this experience.

Traditionally a solo performer, Mirah struck out in late 2004 on a Southwestern US tour for the first time enlisting a band. The band comprised of Nora Danielson (who is featured on recordings by the Mountain Goats, The Intima, Tara Jane O’Neil, Liarbird, & Young People), Dan Sasaki (Enemymine, Sedan, The Old Haunts), Themba Lewis (Liarbird, The Intima, Tara Jane O’Neil, Jackie-O Motherfucker), and Alex Yusimov (Duck Duck Gray Duck and many more). Nora, Alex, and Themba have also been featured on Mirah’s recorded releases. Mirah also previously was a member of The Drivers, an all-girl Olympia band.

    "low self control (feat. tender forever)" is not "Hip-Hop" it's standard mainstream pop....i like it, esp.the rap part. though i like it, i'm still not sure, is it for real or a joke???? autotune ftw!

    V goddamn what a terrible song. tender forever's remix of "make it hot" is also pretty bad. hopefully she's working on more stuff like (a)spera or the thao collab . . .

    @chrismicheal Oh God, I thought maybe you were wrong, that MIrah was embracing the experimental electronica that was present in her earlier stuff. Then I listened to it. That song is cringeworthily horrendous and an affront to her other works. Is it supposed to sell & make her money, or is it just a ploy to get her noticed by media & kids?

    It's kind of telling that virtually none of my music sounds like this, yet I can't stop listening to it.
