Thank you @guitarist_mag for letting me share about Cosmos Forever + asking me about my roots 🌴 looking back, it’s pretty clear to me how inheriting some gear from a family friend when I was in high school, and turning my brother’s bedroom into my first home studio when he went off to college was really the start of all of my experimentation in sound and production. The late nights obsessively arranging my own weird little songs with absolutely no inhibitions is still some of the most fun I’ve ever had. All my vocals were so whispered on the recordings from that era so I wouldn’t wake my parents up in the next room haha. It’s what prompted me to go to audio engineering school in NYC where I’d meet @sonic_monkeywrencher who’s co-produced and recorded/mixed all my records since…
Anyway, swipe for some cute pics of teenaged-me, joyfully in my peak freak- eating, sleeping, scheming with my guitars 🥲🥲🥲 learning from tabs in guitar player magazines just like this :) dedicating this one to her and every cool girl jamming out in her bedroom right now.
Make noise, have fun, never stop exploring 🤍🤍🤍

Hi! @miyaxx___ plays in NYC 5/24 celebrating @nicomo_nicosbo new album 🦋
in other news, i am chaotically expanding my garden with a raised bed for veg and as many flowers as I can fit because it feels really nice to help things grow 🌸🌸 also i was organizing my apothecary of homemade plant medicines and got all sappy because they are each such little time capsules of special places and phases of my life and I am a nostalgic plant nerd so it makes me extremely happy and excited for some wild harvests this year.
Also fresh cut ty @selfsamesoul 💋 waterfall blessings, Beltane celebrations, hepatica, Angelica, rue…
More music things coming too but anyway, what are you growing in your garden???
@miyaxx___ pronounced mee-yahx) is the project of songwriter @lealeathomas and artist/producer @sonic_monkeywrencher
Describing their sound as “night time fuzz folk,” Miyaxx draws from mythos and natural cycles, weaving layered arrangements that feel both intimate and expansive, like a window left open to the Catskill mountain air.
On May 1, they’ll be opening the journey at @opus40official , helping us attune to the forest before we cross the threshold into the stone.
Their debut LP arrives in fall 2026.
🌿 HOMEGROWN at 2:30 PM! We’re spinning a track from #HudsonValley based singer-songwriter Lea Thomas and her new album “Cosmos Forever.” Recorded in a secluded mountain house with her band and co-producer John Thayer, the album blends lushness with gentle #melodies, #atmospheric sound, and thoughtful #songwriting.
@lealeathomas ✨
