Miranda Sound’s Western Reserve at 20 Years Old: “Time Travelers Stuck In Time”

In 2006, four musicians from Columbus made a record about the pull of home and the cost of leaving it, about a war sold on lies, about warmth that drains away so slowly you never notice it's gone. Twenty years later, Miranda Sound's Western Reserve reads like prophecy. It wasn't foresight. It was precision, a band describing its own time and place so carefully that the description still holds while the world keeps turning.
