mirel wagner
bone voyage
sparse, spectral songs & crisp haunting vocals, which seep into the imagination & gently lead it through the twisted woods.
further evidence that the songwriter’s muse has taken up residence in scandinavia, mirel wagner is a 23 year old singer, born in ethiopia & raised in finland. since age 16 she's been writing gloomy blues & folk songs, a sound that is stripped down to the bone. her airy but rough voice lends curious cadence to eerie gothic narratives, drawn out with minimalistic guitar picking, a stunning delivery that has a unique intensity & emotional weight, drawing comparisons to leonard cohen & hope sandoval. highly recommended. "stark & poetic, with an echo of danger" 4/5 – uncut.
