New Mirah And Spectratone International - "Credo Cigalia" / "Community"
The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art commissioned Spectratone International, a.k.a. Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson, along with one of our favorite Microphones, Mirah, to write Share This Place, a song cycle about insects. The resulting dozen bugged-out tunes, which premiered alongside Britta Johnson's zany stop-motion shorts at the Seattle International Children's festival this past May, will be available shortly on enhanced CD. On the tracks we've sampled, cello, accordion, shakers, and perkily varied percussion serve as a playful backdrop to Mirah's chirpy, kid friendly intonations: "Community"'s mellow admittance that "we take advantage of our pheromones" is okay, but we're fondest of "Credo Cigali," a proboscis-lunging strutter. Yep, proboscis-lunging. Check 'em...

Catch "Credo" with video accompaniment over at Goldston's site. Homework was never quite like this! Not to sound ungracious … we'd be even more excited to hear Raffi team up with the Locust.
Share This Place is available 8/07 on K Records.
