about

Debut album from Mima Merrow exploring the idea of home; where it is, who is allowed there, the rituals and rites of passage that bring it together.

Almost Home captures the funny and heart-breaking moments of existing between two places and the struggle of feeling at home and like a stranger at the same time.

'Sharing Kathryn Joseph's skills for breaking down walls with just a piano and voice and marrying them with Bon Iver's pursuit of what lies beyond the expected realm of folk music, Almost Home is a quietly special place. One that allows dreams of a happier, more settled self to become reality.'
Craig Howieson, Snack Mag

'A simply beautiful and elegant record. Merrow’s debut album continues to bring her fanbase on her journey of vivid storytelling and unique way’s of making you feel present and at ease while listening.'
Jen O’Mahony, The Music Files

Thanks for "Red Kites". Well, the whole album actually. Saw an Uncut magazine review out here in the southern Utah dust and thought I should give it a listen. Glad I did. Jerry Cooney
