Jarad Miles In Ancient Wave is a 2013 concept album by American indie songwriter Jarad Miles. It is his second studio album, and features songs referencing reincarnation, the birth of his daughter, and the death of his grandfather. Miles recorded and produced the album at Type Foundry in Portland, Oregon using a combination of organic and electronic instruments between early 2012 and 2013. The artwork and lyrics explore themes of family life, spiritual transcendence and mortality. A JMIAW music documentary by Norwegian director Carsten Aniksdal is expected in summer 2014.
