Josh GolemanKill Rock Stars has just announced their latest signing–the New York quintet Milagres, already a popular favorite in their native Brooklyn. Milagres–Kyle Wilson, Eric Schwortz, Steve Leventhal, Fraser McCulloch, and Chris Brazee–make fluent indie-pop music, as heard on their 2010 self-released debut, Seven Summits, which was poetically inspired by nature, namely rock-climbing. KRS’ Portia Sabin, who will represent Milagres, tells SW:i heard their record and thought they had great songs, but then found myself unable to sleep because the songs were just running through my head relentlessly–the last time that happened to me was with Thao’s demo songs, and i feel like that’s a pretty strong reason to take a band seriously. we’re super excited that we get to put this record out, i think a lot of other people will have the same experience of not being able to get the songs out of their heads!That record is Milagres’ second full-length, Glowing Mouth, which KRS will release this September. You can get a taste of Milagres’ sound with “Glowing Mouth,” available for listen on Bandcamp. “Glowing Mouth” is a studious song, carefully measured with piping organ notes, a heavy synth line, and ghostly, beautiful falsetto vocals singing a fluid, heart-melting melody. As a touchstone, it’s reminiscent of–I have to say it–fellow Brooklynites Grizzly Bear. In my book, that comparison’s always a huge compliment.If you like what you hear, Milagres will be in Seattle on March 31, playing at the Rendezvous. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
