Mikaela Davis and Southern Star — Play Dead: The Relix Sessions (2024) @@@@

[concert_goer]

Mikaela Davis and her band visited the New York's Relix Studio a couple times in 2021, first recording a collection of their own music, which included a bonus cover of the Grateful Dead's Bird Song. Later, during the Days Between, they produced what turned out to be a full album of GD songs. It was released on a psychedelic double vinyl featuring ten tracks that sound both lively and engaging. The album's vibrant energy is driven by Mikaela's harp and vocals, with the rest of the band also adding their voices to the mix. The third side of the album truly shines, having standout tracks like Wharf Rat, Dark Star, and the beloved St. Stephen. That said, every song on the album is a treat. The energetic Cold Rain and Snow closing side four is especially mesmerizing, an absolute highlight! This is a highly appealing release. Only a thousand copies were pressed, and they sold out quickly. Happy to have one!
