Mirza

Drawing from the deep-minded psychedelia of Ash Ra Temple and the sinister space-outs of Faust, Mirza's instrumental guitar epics swell and dive in a way that resonates with your body and inspires both immediate and unsettling understanding. This is music electrified with the nervous, frantic energy that comes not from crisis but from spiritual transcendence. Like all great improvisation ensembles, the members of this four-piece are clearly in tune with one another, droning sympathetically or soaring to sparkling, textured climaxes as a unit, nourished by each other's thirst for communal musical ecstasy. Mirza will treat you to a true escape; all you have to do is listen.
