He called Dan Dixon the next day and booked studio time for this record. What is it they say about clouds and silver linings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Micah recounted that when he got home, though, he hit an all-time low and felt like he could see myself burning alive on a chair that people had propped up for me. He spent many late nights alone, looking out his window towards the radio towers in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, staring into a void. He played piano and guitar until the bright hours of the morning, and at times did nothing but sit there and think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends and family came through, and with their support, he regained his mojo and found the strength to start over and not give up on my lifetime of work with music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less than a year since Fast Eddy broke up,&#8217; I\u2019m now sitting on &#8216;Liar\u2019s Chair&#8217; is out in the wild, and with the speakers turned up, it&#8217;s time to walk the walk. You&#8217;re eased in with the sound of the wilds as an acoustic guitar is picked gently, as &#8216;Opus&#8217; sets the mood. &#8216;You&#8217;ll See&#8217; follows with Micah&#8217;s voice and a strummed acoustic guitar before the bass and drums ease in and the slower, measured intro builds. The song weaves a thoughtful melody, less bombast and dare I say it, more mature and reflective Micah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title track is again a dusty morning on the porch with acoustic guitar strumming towards the chorus. Not a million miles from Ashcroft post Verve in style and feel. &#8216;Condolences&#8217; is more uptempo with the electric guitar sitting proudly in the centre of the mix. A midtempo slice of modern rock n roll with a lot going on from the horns to the rolling tempo, it&#8217;s a top tune and melody with excellent vocals that lift the track out of the darkness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Micah and the Mirrors, \u201cHungry Hungry Heart\u201d official video \" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hphrEsfrIcw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The single off the album &#8216;Yokohama Mama&#8217; is like the Kinks meets Roxy Music in vibe, late 70s early 80s groove racing off on a great tempo to be followed out of the traps by the jarring punchy &#8216;Lady Blue Eyes&#8217; before the barroom rocker &#8216;Hungry Hungry Heart&#8217; is fired off like a swinging boxer who fancies his chances windmilling and dancing feet its got a hint of prime time Hives for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;They Might Say&#8217; is a sidestep with the piano stabs like a late-night, early-morning walk of shame, wondering where you got that feather boa from, but hey, this mellow slice of 70s glam is very welcome, adding another texture to an already most excellent record. Before the album signs off, we walk on the wild side with the bass-heavy rhythmic &#8216;Tortilla Chip&#8217; coming on like a late 80s Jagger Richards thumper breaking out on the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sign off with some &#8221; Oh La La &#8220;, &#8220;After I Die&#8217; which was only missing the honkin new orleans marching band for the last verse. Welcome back, Mr Morris. With a record this good, I can only see brighter days ahead. Go check it out, you won&#8217;t be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugarecords.com\/products\/micah-and-the-mirrors-liars-chair?se_activity_id=204759269702&amp;syclid=d7nod8t4bdqs73amb5q0&amp;utm_campaign=More+new+releases+from+Beluga+Records%21_204759269702&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=shopify_email\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.belugarecords.com\/products\/micah-and-the-mirrors-liars-chair?se_activity_id=204759269702&amp;syclid=d7nod8t4bdqs73amb5q0&amp;utm_campaign=More+new+releases+from+Beluga+Records%21_204759269702&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=shopify_email\">Buy <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/belugarecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/liars-chair?search_item_id%3D2265873437%26search_item_type%3Da%26search_match_part%3D%253F%26search_page_id%3D5365004757%26search_page_no%3D0%26search_rank%3D1=\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/belugarecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/liars-chair?search_item_id%3D2265873437%26search_item_type%3Da%26search_match_part%3D%253F%26search_page_id%3D5365004757%26search_page_no%3D0%26search_rank%3D1=\">Beluga <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belugarecords.com\/products\/micah-and-the-mirrors-liars-chair?se_activity_id=204759269702&amp;syclid=d7nod8t4bdqs73amb5q0&amp;utm_campaign=More+new+releases+from+Beluga+Records%21_204759269702&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=shopify_email\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.belugarecords.com\/products\/micah-and-the-mirrors-liars-chair?se_activity_id=204759269702&amp;syclid=d7nod8t4bdqs73amb5q0&amp;utm_campaign=More+new+releases+from+Beluga+Records%21_204759269702&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=shopify_email\">(Europe)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spaghettytownrecords.bigcartel.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/spaghettytownrecords.bigcartel.com\/\">Buy Spaghetty Town (USA)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Dom Daley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denver, Colorado &#8212;\u00a0In a sense, this record has been overdue for a long time, &#8221; shares MICAH AND THE MIRRORS frontman Micah Morris, who might be familiar around here because his former day job was fronting Fast Eddy, but alas, his world got turned upside down after ending his marriage, losing his job, and his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[2685,1787,1818,1710,1681,1680,1833,2052],"class_list":["post-28391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-beluga-records","tag-its-a-revolution","tag-new-album","tag-rpm-online","tag-rpmnews1","tag-rpmonline","tag-tourlife","tag-vinyl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28395,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28391\/revisions\/28395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
