This beautiful thing has been used on every MIRS release. (and before that, SHANKS AND THE DREAMERS). While we use less and less guitar these days, it's still our first tool for writing new records.
MIRS constant art Collaborator - Ali Sabet
Funny thing that we've been updating posts about our album art. Over half our cover art has been a collaboration between us and artist Ali Sabet. Last year, we went to Tokyo with Sabet to take care of project stuff.
This year, he went alone and ended up doing a mural at the AIRBNB he was staying at. That particular story is going viral now, with over 30 outlets doing stories on it after the INDEPENDENT ran its story. You can read it here.
Below is a short visual doc of our Tokyo trip last year, which our friend Mahyar shot. He ended up using tracks from CANYON. Solo MIRS makes several short appearances.
Alternative cover art for TAKE AWAY
We stumbled upon this recently. This was an alternative cover for our 2012 single, TAKE AWAY.
Art directed by us & artist/designer Ali Sabet , who did the illustration as well. (he's been blowing up for which we say, long overdue friend, long overdue.)
This was appropriated from another classic image from cinema. Who can guess. We will send you our whole discography.
Throwbacks....
This was MIRS first press photo for the SPIN CYCLE EP released in 2010. At the time, the project was a solo act. This came 6 months after SHANKS AND THE DREAMERS went on a permanent hiatus.
The second photo, shot with a potato, was the learning process.
Spotify Playlists that include MIRS music
Got wind of several new playlists that include MIRS tracks from the CANYON ep (Sleepless + Streetlight) on Spotify. Two come from online music mainstay, The Music Ninja. Both playlists include some amazing tracks. Give them a play & follow.
Short film, hybrid visual in post-production for new MIRS single
We are currently wrapping up post-production on a new project that features our latest single, MOONLIGHTING MISSION MAN. The question; "Is this a short film or a music video" is an age-old question, famously proposed by Rene Magritte. Here is just one image. Due sometime in Nov 2017.
