But just like great punk music, Mira Mann demanded to be heard, delving into her spirituality and delivering a hypnotic and reflective performance. It was music to soundtrack meditation, change, cleansing, movement and spirit. It was romantic and powerful, flickering intrigue and peace across the room. I felt really connected to both the performance and myself in her presence and felt a lot of gratitude to experience a type of music so refreshing from what I’vetended to isolate myself within. The closest comparison I can draw is perhaps the rising South-London act Dry Cleaning, but even then I don’t feel close to encapsulating Mira Mann’s uniqueness. Simply, you’ll all have to give her a listen yourself. And despite her german lyrics, this poetic style of music sees no borders in language: messages are sent and received regardless of your understanding of the words themselves. They sit deep, yet so reachable, within an electric current that ties giver and receiver, being accessible to anyone open to experience and self-exploration.

Mira Mann explores with her work the performative possibilities of spoken and written word in the interface between text, body and music. With the formation of her first band candelilla (2001 – 2017) and the realization of her first own events in 2001, she positions her work in the context of subculture and (pop) music. Mann has published three volumes of poetry with the Cologne-based poetry publisher Parasitenpresse: Gedichte der Angst (2019), Komm einfach (2021), Kontrolle (2023). Her writing starts with her body, locates itself radically vulnerable between power and devotion.

After the breakup of her band candelilla, she releases her music under her plain name Mira Mann: Ich mag das (2019, Problembär), Schau mich an (2021, Problembär), Atlantic City (2022, Staatsakt), weich (2023, Euphorie). Mann works with changing producers on her vibrant, physical musical pieces. On the two larger works with Zurich theater composer Ludwig Abraham, but also with Martin Brugger from Munich or Viennese producers Wolfgang Lehmann. She has toured the German-speaking regions several times, showing her work at the Pop Kultur Festival Berlin, the Münchner Kammerspiele, the Volksbühne Berlin, Waves Vienna in Austria and the One of a Million Festivals in Switzerland, among others.
