Miele has been playing songs from their EP, buy Seed Crystal, site since last summer, but doing the full Boston venue circuit (Somerville Porchfest, The Midway Café, O’Brien’s, etc.) and perfecting every detail in the studio, each of the three songs has taken a different form. Fittingly, the lyrical content ponders the evolution and form of emotion, inspiring the psych/funk sound surrounding it all.

“The original idea to focus on the concept of crystals and crystallization came from my own reflection on the lyrical content of the three tracks featured on Seed Crystal. When I think of a unifying thread holding these songs together, it is that they all represent crystallized experiences, they all aim to capture the essence of a single moment and emotional experience,” vocalist/pianist, Melissa Lee Nilles explained, “For example, ‘Walking Away’ attempts to portray the emotional experience of a combination of wanderlust, existential gratitude, fear, hope, platonic love, and disillusionment at the never-settled life of a wandering soul.”

You can check out Miele’s EP, Seed Crystal, below and celebrate it all at their EP Release Show tonight at Middle East Downstairs. This is a 18+ event and tickets are $12 at the door.
