Review

Rolling Stone (p.79) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Life Boat' is a big, warm hug with dub effects, pedal steel and hash-den tambourine..."
Q (Magazine) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen some darkness descends, as on 'Pictures Of You,' her perky nature adds a bittersweet twist to the added emotional weight."

Title Note

On LIGHT OF X, her second full-length album, alternative-pop artist Miranda Lee Richards presents a fine set of dreamy tunes. With a look and a voice that recall a young Emmylou Harris, Richards steeps her songs in a pleasantly hazy atmosphere (see "Early November"), bringing to mind more contemporary performers such as Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and Bat for Lashes.

MORE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Miranda Lee Richards was born in San Francisco to hipster artist parents and thus decided to become a hipster artist herself when she grew up. "I inherited artistic and musical talents from my parents and being a musician seemed like a natural career choice for me," says Richards. "My only form of rebellion was to fantasize about having a soccer mom and wear really conservative clothing when I was twelve or so. Of course, I eventually came to appreciate the creative lifestyle and became one of 'them'." "I was mostly 'groomed' in fine art/painting and drawing when I was younger, but I had also seriously studied music and was a member of my school choir. I remember this turning point whenI said to myself, 'Being an artist/illustrator (like my parents) seems like such a hard road. I think I'll have an easier time pursuing a music career.' I muse now at the naiveté of that thought." Despite the ebb and flow, the music life has been kind to Miranda. "I've had my ups and downs but I'm incredibly inspired and fascinated by what I'm doing, and for that I'm grateful. There have been times when a sense of loneliness has crept in and I've made it a theme in my music because it's so human and beautiful. In general, though, forward motion is what's inspiring to me." Her range of both artistry and emotion is astounding. As one fan put it, "Listening to a Miranda record is like listening to your favorite play list, everything you want to hear and nothing you don't. She's never written a bad song. Her music is just 'right'."
