ABOUT THIS ITEM

Mirel Wagner is a 23 year old singer/songwriter, born in Ethiopia and raised in Espoo, Finland. Since age 16 she's writing gloomy Blues and Folk songs, stripped down to the bone. It's just about her airy but rough voice and a minimalistic guitar picking. Avoiding theatrical gestures effortlessly her music has a unique intensity and emotional weight.

The Times 4****: "This album is the musical equivalent of The Killing, the Danish TV series that dominated 2011; unpretentious, gloomy, clever and compelling".

Uncut 4****: "Minimal gothic folk , from Ethiopia, via Finland…she’s a chaste version of Hope Sandoval , and her songs are sparse to the point of loneliness, delivered with the diction of Leonard Cohen".

MOJO 4****: “It’s aimed straight at those Goths among us who can’t take any more long, dark nights without a new Mazzy Star album”.
