  Ok. Like Natalia Imbruglia, I'm torn. Maybe it's unfair that I've been following this band's progress for such a long time and also because I hear the hallmarks of their producer, Curver of Ghostigital, all over this, but I can't really decide yet if I love this or not. First of all, the songs are like Mogwai without the gloom (they even have a happiness song), which isn't a bad thing even though I thought the whole post-rock thing was over.
  
  Then there's the production, which really jumps out in the first song, disappears in the second, and then totally takes over again in the third. It makes me wish that the album would decide to take one direction or the other.
  
  On the whole though, this is a good record and makes me want to hear more from Miri.

  This is magnificent. It really is. Miri, the band who made the album in question, are almost purely an instrumental band, and when they use vocals they are used rather as instruments rather than to convey a meaning. The only song that contains vocals on this particular album is ‘Draugar’. The lyrics are probably nonsense words.
  
  Most of their songs are pretty experimental yet accessible at the same time. How they achieve this is anyone’s guess. It warrants a mention that this is not dada-esque in its experiments, but compared to “regular music” it’s still different. Songs reach the seven-minute mark and you don’t notice, which is something that rarely happens to me.
  
  Miri’s Okkar is a special record as it achieves incredible success as a creative venture while also remaining—to put it simply—fun to listen to.
