GEA is the seventh album by singer-songwriter-guitarist-poet-painter-dancer Mia Doi Todd. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, CA, self-produced in collaboration with Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and is being released on City Zen Records in North America and Kindred Spirits and & Records abroad.

Mia is a true artist — an expressionist in many forms. Her garden of song is vast with flowers of infinite shape, color, size, and individuality. GEA is her most intuitive and primal collection of songs yet. Full of incredible passion and sensitivity, these songs reveal the depths of Mia’s emotions, visions and lyrical heart. The album opens with Mia playing guitar and harmonium accompanied by Andres Renteria on hand drums and prolific Chicago-based bassist Joshua Abrams (Sam Prekop, Prefuse 73). Broken, surviving, searching, and hopeful, Mia begins to sing and chant, flowing in the great “River of Life” that all beings travel. The songs each follow suit beautifully, evanescently, featuring woodwind, brass and string arrangements by the young and talented multi-instrumentalist/composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. His arrangements seem to lift Mia on their wings for a mystical journey of intense projection, romance, mourning, and otherworldly imagery.
