Old Man of the Woods

Old Man of the Woods is an ethereal electro-pop experiment in memory and mirage from Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist Miranda Elliott. Marrying the synthesized sounds of her inner world and those carefully collected from the outer world, Miranda molds a sonic locket, filling it with crooned confessions. Steeped in surrealism, romanticism, and horror, she identifies as a ghost, destined to wander in circles, repeating rhythms, alchemizing anguish, until at last she earns her escape from the loop. And yet each step is increasingly poignant, begging the question, is escape even the point? Embracing the levity of such absurdity, whether floating across the stage or whispering airy incantations from ear to ear, she invites listeners to muse and move through enchanting audiovisual performances. Having toured her debut LP Votives and EPs Dissolve & Devolve across the Pacific Northwest and New York, she’s poised to release her second LP Tendrils this June, a haunting collection of intimate, atmospheric devotionals recorded while an artist in residence with Culterim Gallery at a lakeside abandoned sanatorium outside of Berlin.
