Mia Doi Todd is known for her quiet, haunting songs, usually conveyed through her evocative and instantly recognizable voice. With a deep body of work spanning twelve albums, and as a formidable collaborator on records by Laraaji, Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio), Scientist, and more recently with André 3000 and Carlos Niño on New Blue Sun, Mia is an essential element in the richly woven musical tapestry of her native Los Angeles. Morning Music is an instrumental, ambient experience unlike anything else in her catalogue, to forgo vocal expression and give full range to the voices of her instruments and the sounds around them. It is a gorgeous, softly stirring work of art that makes full use of its minimal elements. Mia recorded and mixed the tracks at her own Château des Chats Studio in Frogtown, Los Angeles, playing harmonium, piano, tin whistle, tamboura, acoustic guitar, and drums. On the tracks \"Samai'i\" and \"Emotion,\" she is joined by multi-instrumentalist Andres Renteria on cajon, piano, wooden stool, and udu. Birds and traffic, heard softly in the distance, feel like a natural and comforting part of the proceedings. The small dramas of the piano and tin whistle resolve themselves peacefully, like thoughts arising and falling in meditation. However one chooses to listen, Morning Music is a lovely and aptly named collection of music to encourage even the weariest minds and bodies to quietly awaken. Originally released as a CD in 2009 and now available for the first time on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Zen","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50415563374923,"sku":"2189578","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/u-hG5rfD_5479d9da_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726691253"},{"product_id":"gea","title":"Gea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGea\u003c\/i\u003e is the seventh album by singer songwriter guitarist poet painter dancer mia doi todd. the album was recorded in los angeles, ca, self-produced in collaboration with carlos nino and miguel atwood-ferguson.

It envelopes the listener with Mia's beautiful voice, impeccable songwriting and a worldview that encompasses life's great range of emotions-pleasure, sorrow, love, jealousy-while also acknowledging the trouble with human-centrism. Produced by Willie Nelson's youngest son, multi-instrumentalist Micah Nelson aka Particle Kid, the songs were recorded in one blissful week on Maui, and the island vibes permeate. Human Experience, chronicles Mia's family life on the island of Maui for the last few years. The ten songs came to her very quickly in between cooking and cleaning and trips to the park or beach. They have their own island flavor. Recording the songs came very naturally. Her longtime friend and collaborator, Andres Renteria, plays percussion and Aroyn Day from Micah's band Particle Kid joined to play bass. The album was mixed with Mario Caldato Jr. in northeast Los Angeles, Mia's home town. Human Experience features guest appearances from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on strings, Gabe Noel on bass, Mia's husband Jesse Peterson on keys and whistles and their daughter  Ynez on backup vocals. The final track, \"Kaupakalua,\" her homage to the Hawaiian mele honoring a place, brings together two of Maui's most beloved musicians, George Kahumoku  Jr. and Geri Valdriz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Zen","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57379808805195,"sku":"R6871-0038","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TsDXh4mC.jpg?v=1779206917"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/mia-doi-todd.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
