A perfect album from start to finish, the kind where every song feels essential and no song will ever be skipped. In our early 20&#8217;s, the lyrics of this album were a reassuring guide for moving through life, fumbling through uncertainty and figuring it all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although already housemates, \u2018Homemade Dynamite\u2019 was the song that first brought us together for music. For a triple j Unearthed competition, we remixed it in our cramped uni bedrooms, working on a shared Ableton account that had cost us every last dollar. We were the definition of broke uni students, surviving on cheap beer and half-price steak nights at the local pub for our only dose of iron.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But somehow, in 2018 we found the cash to get to Splendour in the Grass with borrowed cars, a Kmart tent and a yoga mat for a bed. Lorde headlined Friday night, and it was nothing short of a spiritual experience. We danced, we sang, we cried. A moment of pure joy. As \u2018Green Light\u2019 closed the set and green confetti rained down, something in us ignited and seven years later, that fire is still burning. Through our music we are forever chasing that feeling Lorde created that night in the amphitheater, and we hope to create a body of work as honest and impactful as <em>Melodrama<\/em>. On the ten hour drive back from Byron to Sydney, tired, filthy and dehydrated, we used those uninterrupted hours to plan the exciting details of forming a new band and wrote our first song, \u2018Smokemachine\u2019. In 2021, this track was finally released as our debut single with the lyrics \u201c<em>it all just fades away in the haze of a smoke machine.<\/em>\u201d describing that moment in the mosh together where Miramar was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-further-reading\">Further Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/gig\/lorde-review-sydney-2023\/\">Lorde Review \u2013 Pop Star Illuminates Her Multitudes at Sydney \u2018Solar Power\u2019 Show<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/indy-yelich-lordes-sister-announces-debut-ep-and-shares-new-single\/\">Indy Yelich, Lorde\u2019s Sister, Announces Debut EP And Shares New Single<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/lorde-reflects-on-the-painful-response-to-her-solar-power-era\/\">Lorde Reflects On The \u2018Painful\u2019 Response To Her \u2018Solar Power\u2019 Era<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Feeds\u2019\u00a0Love Letter to a Record\u00a0series asks artists to reflect on their relationship with the music they love and share stories about how it has influenced their lives.
