Shrift was a collaboration between former Smoke City vocalist Nina Miranda and producer Dennis Wheatley.[1] Their debut release, Lost In A Moment, brought together acoustic and electronic soundscapes with Miranda's vocals, drawing comparisons with Portishead.[1] "It's all swirling atmosphere, with fingerpicked guitars, glimmering string sections, Brazilian and synthetic percussion and gusty echoes around Ms. Miranda's limpid voice," wrote Jon Pareles in The New York Times.[2]
Wheatley is best known for his work with the British electronic band Atlas.
