Mirah returns with first new single in 7 years, ‘Catch My Breath’

Mirah is making her return to share her first single in 7 years, a track entitled ‘Catch My Breath,’ which is out on Double Double Whammy and Mirah’s long-running imprint Absolute Magnitude.  

On ‘Catch My Breath,’ Mirah adopts an ’80s power pop sound, channelling The Cars with the help of a studio band featuring Jenn Wasner of Flock of Dimes, Meg Duffy (aka Hand Habits) and Andrew Maguire.

Mirah says of the track: “When this song first came out it had a sonically pensive aura. I could tell it was a keeper, but I wanted to try some different presentations, play with it a little. Could the wound spring of questioning and longing and relationship anxiety sound bombastic, or fun, or like an 80’s pop song? That’s what we went for in the studio, and with Jenn, Meg, and Andrew Maguire in there with me it really just took off.  I love how the song expressed its malleability to me and then took so well to the treatment.”
