Share This Place: Stories and Observations

Lori Goldston and Kyle Hanson of Black Cat Orchestra team up with K Records recording artist Mirah to deliver a sweeping song cycle inspired by the epic complexity and tragic and triumphant lives of insects, touching on themes of villainy, seduction, self-sacrifice, and love. Along with Goldston and Hanson's trademark cello and accordion, 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 producer Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden) and Phil Elvrum (The Microphones).
