About this product
After years as a regular fixture on the Northeast jam scene, Mike Miz found just what he was seeking, when he moved to Nashville three years ago, in pursuit of the highest level of song-craft and guitar playing. Hailing from Northeast Pennsylvania, Mike spent the better part of the last decade playing festivals, clubs, and songwriter joints from Philadelphia to Asbury Park to NYC. Shortly after his arrival to the Nashville scene, Mike's unique talent garnered the attraction of industry pillars, Ted Pecchio, Laur Joamets, Jon Radford and engineer/producer Brook Sutton, who assembled a top-notch band around Mike. This collaboration resulted in the recording of 11 new, original songs tracked live to tape in three days at the Wood Brother's studio in West Nashville. The new album, Only Human tells the story of a 15-year battle with heroin addiction, love lost, years wasted, troubles with the law and more! Only Human exemplifies the serendipitous result of a talented artist connecting with the right producer and players to amplify his art and create a work that is so much more than the sum of it's parts. Mike's new album is a songwriter's champion and an audiophile's delight. At times desperate and dark, Only Human is true to it's title, proving through it's mere existence that hope can persist, and that our struggles and setbacks are part, but not the whole, of our story.

Texas Flood - Overworked & Underpaid [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/19/2017
Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . Human Impact is Chris Spencer (Unsane, UXO), Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), Chris Pravdica (Swans, Xiu Xiu), and Phil Puleo (Cop Shoot Cop, Swans). The band's first recordings are a dark mirror held up to the band s collective pre-history. It's sound is cinematic post-industrial filth rock, a dozen run down subway stops away from recognizable civilization, as futuristic as it is grounded in it's sordid heritage. The result is a potent, hard-boiled distillation of this sonic ethos.
Hamartia is the fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine. A narrative tool often determining a character's arc (or fate) underpinning many of our favorite stories in film, literature, and music. Meredith Johnston, the singer-songwriter-producer at the heart of indie project Warm Human, borrowed the term for the title of her latest LP, and her first for Sooper Records. Hamartia finds Johnston probing the depths of own fatal flaw, self hatred, without skimping on the catchy hooks and bracingly frank lyricism. InchThis whole album is pop music for deranged peopleInch she says.Johnston wrote and produced the album with Chicago composer and producer Conor Mackey (Lynyn, Monobody, NNAMDÏ). Together, the pair crafted an album that draws liberally from it's diverse influences, incorporating down-tempo electronics, drum n' bass, indie rock, synth pop, and elegant, unstructured soundscapes. Hamartia finds humanity in electronic music, with warm synths, guitars, and shape-shifting vocal stacks frequently creating a one-woman choir.Hamartia is buoyed by the best music of Warm Human's career, from the probing InchFather FatherInch to the insightful InchMy Moods!!Inch and the musical dish session InchLove 2 Hate.Inch Inspired by Portishead, Sheryl Crow, Frou Frou and others, the LP can be both wryly funny and incisive in the span of a single couplet (InchI asked for space and you gave me the moon,Inch she sings on InchMy Moods!!Inch adding, InchI'm riding shotgun with my S**t attitudeInch). Hamartia is a perfect pop soundtrack for our current moment because it's irresistible hooks and quotable lyrics are the opposite of empty escapism-they're an invitation to acknowledge your own struggles and flaws. To get in touch with your hamartia.
