Miserable, the solo project of Kristina Esfandiari, former vocalist of Bay Area shoegazers, Whirr, is now streaming a new song titled “Bell Jar” on YouTube: http://goo.gl/jsUQXQ and Soundcloud: http://goo.gl/k9c4Wz.

Miserable’s debut EP “Halloween Dream” will be released on Feb 18 via The Native Sound (John Vanderslice, Koji). Pre-orders have launched for the vinyl (http://goo.gl/iH4XME) and digital (http://goo.gl/lzid8q) versions.

Kristina writes and performs a brand of moving and evocative music that oozes with nostalgia – and the Halloween Dream EP is no different. Over the course of four tracks, Esfandiari’s powerful voice and poignant compositions swell into soundscapes both haunting and wistful.

Building on the momentum of her Run For Cover-issued 7-inch split with PA’s Grey Zine, Halloween Dream finds Kristina experimenting with muscular riffs ("Bell Jar") and sparse instrumentation ("Spinning") – new territory for the songwriter, but seemingly comfortable all the same.

The Native Sound is a small, New York City-based boutique record label specializing in high quality, limited run, physical pressings. Past releases have included a double a-side single by John Vanderslice pressed on limited edition 7-inch flexi discs, titled 'Song For Clay Miller with, Vitas At Wimbledon' and an EP by Koji titled 'Matters' pressed on cassette tape.
