Shizuka Miura was a spectral figure, creating ghostly, childlike dolls and writing haunting, other-worldly songs. She formed Shizuka in 1992 with Maki Miura (Fushitsusha, Les Rallizes Dénudés) Their music was an alchemy of psychedelic rock, folk and noise with Shizuka’s ethereal vocals invoking loneliness, and yearning.
