Lost in a Moment Poster

Miranda was introduced to her musical partner Dennis Wheatley shortly after completing the second Smoke City album. Wheatley is best known for his work with Atlas, a British electro band with a history of taking existing elements (Brazilian singers, string quartets, Randy Newman's "Baltimore") and whipping them up into delectably, danceably new ethno-electro mixtures. Miranda was familiar with his work under the Atlas moniker and was drawn in by what she calls the "depth of atmosphere and quality of sound." She found his work "cinematic and otherworldly," and in short order the two were building songs together.

The mood on Lost in a Moment is, as the album's title suggests, generally dreamy and soft, almost mystical at times, but with a worldly and modern edge. However, the project has plenty of upbeat, funky moments as well. Consider "To the Floor" a song that places Miranda's cool and carefree vocals atop Wheatley's funky breakbeats, big band and orchestral sounds, and handclaps before lapsing into a dubwise section that interweaves multiple vocal tracks and instrumental drama before ending with an impressionistic wash of aural colors.
