Seeking: Film/TV, Label
Style: Alternative
It’s entirely appropriate that alt artist Mikki is seeking film and TV placements, because her beautiful, atmospheric music could absolutely work as background on a big budget drama—a tension builder to further the plot. “if tomorrow dies” (stylized deliberately in lower case) is a delicate synth-pop tune, all wrought emotions and strained angst.
Elsewhere, there are Portishead references, Dido, and Beth Orton even, as Mikki’s voice works as one element in an electronic orchestra on songs such as “Stuck in Your Head” and “Seven Seas.” She creates a vivid ocean of sounds, mostly gentle with the occasional crashing wave, and it’s a wonderful experience.
