Model-turned-songstress Miranda Richards has more talent up her sleeve than the ability to smile for a camera. The twentysomething singer-songwriter has released an excellent debut CD, a mix of alt-country pop songs dosed in psychedelics. From her cover of the Rolling Stones gem "Dandelion" to the originals she penned herself, The Herethereafter is simple and beautiful, featuring a Beatles-meets-Sheryl Crow pop sensibility and a Mazzy Star/Mojave 3 softness. Richard's hypnotic vocals are reminiscent of those of Sundays front woman Harriet Wheeler, but her music is peppier and more produced than the Sundays'

Model-turned-songstress Miranda Richards has more talent up her sleeve than the ability to smile for a camera. The twentysomething singer-songwriter has released an excellent debut CD, a mix of alt-country pop songs dosed in psychedelics. From her cover of the Rolling Stones gem "Dandelion" to the originals she penned herself, The Herethereafter is simple and beautiful, featuring a Beatles-meets-Sheryl Crow pop sensibility and a Mazzy Star/Mojave 3 softness. Richard's hypnotic vocals are reminiscent of those of Sundays front woman Harriet Wheeler, but her music is peppier and more produced than the Sundays' sleepy dreamscapes. Backed by guests like the Beachwood Sparks and Jon Brion (producer for Rufus Wainwright and Aimee Mann), Richards has created a solid collection of well-textured tracks (many of which use strings to great effect) buoyed by her ability to project both sweetness and strength in her angelic vocals. --Jennifer Maerz
