Summary: Mia Doi Todd, a honestly unique talent.
Comments: It's been over a year since I 1st heard Mia Todd over an internet radio station. 1st1song, then another,2or3times over again never taking notice. Finally, that voice stuck in my head and I had to know who it was. I can honestly say that I am not quit the same since I have been listening to her. She's had a kind of profound influence on me that rarely happens and, I admit, it's not the kind of music I normally listen to. Granted, Todd's music isn't for eone. It's not really what I'd call easy to listen to. It takes a bit of listening to before the beauty of the lyrics and singing come through. In Zeroone, as her previous album 'Come out of your mind', which I highly endorse, is voice and accompanying guitar and that's it. Lyrically more complex than 'Come out of your mind' Mia was more daring on this album. Experimenting with a free form approach, none of the songs have any real structure. While that may be teetering on the brink of catastropy, I think she pulls it off. As a result, the songs are even more fascinating then on her previous work. Like 'Come out of your mind' she continues to produce, with combination guitar, voice and lyrics, rich visual imagery that borders on the surreal. Her lyrics are sheer poetry as true as any I have seen. I endorse you get this album. You may not like it at 1st, however if you have the patience to really listen to the music, Zeroone is as rewarding as any other recording. |

Summary: The almost all beautiful album you will hear in 2001
Comments: I 1st discovered Mia Doi Todd a few months ago. I was playing around with "real audio" files when I 1st heard Mia's song "Spring" - I knew what was flowing into my ears was pure genius.I immediately purchased up her "Come Out of Your Mine" (1999) CD on the Communion label shortly after. "Come Out of Your Mine" is an incredibly rewarding album from1of the almost all sublimely talented singers / songwriters of our time. No exaggeration here, either. Her latest effort, "Zeroone", builds on to the aesthetic which emanated throughout the previous album. The songs are a bit longer, however there is never a dull moment on the album, incredibly enough. If you have never heard any of Mia's songs, imagine a sober Chan Marshall with more class and confidence and you will get an idea of what her songs sound like. I am still looking for Mia's 1997 release on Xmas records. It's #1 on my "must find" list. I doubt that Mia will ever see this review however if you are out there, Mia, can you please drop me an email!! I am in the midst of writing a favorable review of "Zeroone" for the Swedish zine "Broken Face" and it's also a dream of mine to conduct a short interview with you for the zine as well - only if you are up for it, of course!!!!!!!!!! The bottom line? Music doesn't emerge or manifest more beautifully than what Mia impeccably executes on "Come Out of Your Mine" or "Zeroone". Period. |
