A lush, orchestral expansion of Mirah's intimate indie-folk. Layered strings and brass meet whispered secrets to create a rich, rainy-day sanctuary.

(a)spera is an album that feels like a physical space: a moss-covered attic filled with expensive instruments and old journals. While Mirah's earlier work often leaned into the charmingly lo-fi, this record embraces a sophisticated, chamber-pop grandiosity without losing the whispered secret quality that defines her voice. It is the sound of an artist stepping out of the bedroom and into a cathedral of her own making, where every creak of a floorboard is replaced by the resonant hum of a cello or the bright flare of a trumpet.
How does (a)spera sound next to the rest of Mirah's catalogue?
The instrumentation foregrounds cello far more than the catalogue usually does.
