Artist History Former singer/writer/keyboardist of legendary Grand Rapids, Michigan indie rock outfit the Roswells, Mikael Naramore moved to the Arizona desert in July 2001. There, he continues to conjure the spirits of his clever, unique brand of psychedlic indie-pop that helped bring the Roswells and similar projects small but shining acclaim in the mostly dreary stagnacity of the Grand Rapids music scene. Armed with vintage keyboards, assorted garage-sale instruments and a highly original, memorable vocal style, a new EP is due out by early 2002.
