Editorial Reviews
On these twelve songs, 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 Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden) and Phil Elvrum of The Microphones. Mirah's lyrics smartly humanize the trials and pleasures of the insect world, touching on themes of villainy, seduction, self-sacrifice, and love. Shining a light on this epic complexity, the songs imply an inescapable comparison with our own. A concept album of sorts, "Share This Place" is a score written for a suite of twelve stop-motion animated short films. One of them, "Credo Cigalia", is included here, along with an illustrated lyric booklet.

Mirah's voice can be stunning and passionate and the music is complex and unpredictable with sudden major shifts.
But I struggled with this album; it took a while to grow on me. Some of the songs grate on my nerves whereas others, where it feels like everything meshes, are exceptionally lovely. Many songs are based on dance forms and are surprisingly successfully danceable!
I would like to see a little more explanation of these songs; I feel like I may be missing something although I like some mystery; the lyrics quoted below are by ear and may not be entirely correct and some songs I was not able to make out in their entirety.
My favorite songs are Luminescence (a love song with a relaxed Samba style where the voice and Accordion and humor of the lyrics shine) which starts:
Luminescence is ours; don't need a reason ...
shine like a beacon; I've got the brilliance to let him know
I am so ready to glow
This light is soft in the night like a sigh
brilliantly I oxidize
a belly fully of bright
Then there is Love Song of the Fly (another stimulatingly unusual love song between a fly and a human that has a beautiful romantic guitar intro):
I permit myself the nearness of you
Even just the scent of what you left behind
sends me in circles of lust
Please render me adoringly
Oh, why do you despise me, only criticize me
A Love that resides in kaleidescope eyes
you only think me base and dirty
you multiplying in my eyes
Ecclycis is tango-like (how can you not like a song with a name like this?):
Upside down, split from the ground
insides out and gyrate?
I begin to pupate
cause all my tissues to rearrange
green and gold is getting old
prepare to know my indigo
I'm getting out, I'm getting out
My Lord Who Hums (with great atmospheric accompaniment):
If I am killed and not understood
You will never learn what you could
I am the Lord of the flies
I have been swallowed and re-birthed
I am your kin
Supper (perhaps this is a cha-cha?) goes as follows:
My villainy is rare
just like any other gadabout
I vanquish you with kisses, a dubious caress
in truth it is a poison
Liquefaction is a skill which I possess
Another is Song of Psyche (again Accordion and percussion and the concept shine).
Emergence of the Primary Larva (this accompaniment takes time to grow on one as it is fresh-sounding)
